There is not a single element in favor of the Government and the PP reaching any agreement within the panoply of pending urgent matters of old or new date, but completely necessary.
What may be good for one of the actors harms the other or goes outside its strategic framework.
Too much territorial plurality to advance a new regional financing agreement;
too many competing interests to get the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) out of the hole, whose members continue to opt for leverage five years after the PP decided that it was not going to give up its majority even if it did not correspond to it.
There are no guarantees that the Senate, with the absolute majority of the PP, will approve the spending ceiling agreed upon by the opposing majority in Congress.
These agreements may come out, some or none.
This total absence of certainty emerges from testimonies from interlocutors from different parties.
The word “pact” will disappear at the beginning of the week, only focused on the debate and certain approval of tomorrow's amnesty law.
On Wednesday the first meeting of the Government and the PP with the European mediator on the CGPJ will take place.
In Brussels.
If the case arises, it will be agreed upon, as has happened with the reform of article 49 of the Constitution to dignify people with disabilities, but the conditions could not be more adverse.
Yesterday thousands of people took to the streets of Madrid to demonstrate against the Government, in response to the call of the PP and its president, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, accompanied by the regional presidents of the PP, already very incorporated into their agenda on Sunday mornings. in Madrid.
“This is a Government that has no shame, that has no dignity...,” Núñez Feijóo cried.
There are no detours.
The Executive of Pedro Sánchez is going to amnesty terrorists, they advance in the PP without waiting to verify in the judicial processes if the indications that Judge Manuel García-Castellón sees in the actions of Carles Puigdemont, former president of the Generalitat who fled to Brussels in 2019 , correspond to the crime of terrorism, as occurred with the cases of 12 activists from the so-called CDR, Defense Commands of the Republic.
The word terrorism will appear dozens of times in the session log of tomorrow's Congress plenary session, within the debate on the amnesty law proposal.
The text has been transformed surprisingly and hastily, as Judge García-Castellón issued new orders.
Each order had its amendment in this unprecedented struggle between two powers of the State.
The Executive, to carry out its decision to amnesty those prosecuted or escaped by the process;
the judge, so that they do not succeed, in general, and Puigdemont in particular.
Tomorrow's approval of the amnesty law still has to pass through the Senate and return to Congress.
It will be approved but there are still parliamentary hours with fiery speeches in which Spain will be placed verbally, not only in “the outskirts of the Constitution”, as the socialist and president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, pointed out, but also a step by a regime outside the rule of law, according to the PP and Vox.
“In the face of amnesty, freedom, democracy and Spain,” the Madrid president said yesterday.
Isabel Díaz Ayuso, heard by Feijóo and the territorial rulers of her party.
This is the climate in which the Government's legislative priority, in addition to "coexistence", referring to Catalonia and the rest of Spain, is to carry out a new model of regional financing.
Perhaps it is an excessively ambitious claim – the current model has been out of date for nine years – but there may be other options to alleviate the burden of the autonomous communities with inadequate financing for years, as the first vice president and Minister of Finance, María Jesús, has in her portfolio. Huntsman.
From the opposition, the former socialist president of the Valencian Community, Ximo Puig, experiences the recognition that his permanent demand for an essential greater provision for his community is recognized.
That community, now governed by the PP, together with Andalusia, Murcia and the socialist Castilla-La Mancha, exhibited this week a kind of unity – “conspiracy” – to demand from the Government a leveling fund for the four.
He does not see the Executive's intentions for the PP autonomies to reach an agreement nor that Feijóo is going to try to do so.
Madrid is preparing his response but right now the essential thing in the PP is not to get distracted and not deviate from the speech against Sánchez, and his decision to "amnesty terrorists", as the PP leaders point out in public.
Without an atmosphere of pacts, on Wednesday the Minister of the Presidency and Justice, Félix Bolaños, and the institutional deputy secretary of the PP, Esteban González Pons, meet with the mediator, Didier Reynders, European Commissioner for Justice.
Reynders has an arduous mediation task.
“With anyone who distinguishes between good and bad terrorism, there are no pacts, you cannot even collect an inheritance,” warned the leader of the Catalan PP, Alejandro Fernández.
Vox, for its part, closely follows everything that the PP can do.
“They demonstrate on Sundays and agree on Mondays,” their leader, Santiago Abascal, interpreted yesterday.
With the amnesty plenary session tomorrow, it will not be easy to talk about pacts.
Not this week.
