The Government fears that We can frustrate its plan of last minute decrees

It does not see possible to equate in this legislature the permission of parternidad to that of motherhood

  The Government will try to continue legislating until the last day of Pedro Sánchez in the Moncloa, although the Courts are dissolved. The spokesman, Isabel Celaá, reiterated this Friday in the usual Friday appearance after the Council of Ministers. The decision will force him to bring decrees laws of enormous political scope to the Permanent Deputation, the reduced body that replaces the House of Congress when the House is no longer in ordinary operation. But it will be, according to socialist sources, very selective. The Executive does not want parliamentary defeats that weaken it a few weeks after the elections.

  The idea, according to that strategy, is to send to the Parliament symbolic measures of eminently social content that have guaranteed the support of the partners in the motion of censorship. And, for the moment, these are counted on the fingers of one hand. Above all, they say in the direction of the socialist group, seeing the attitude of Podemos. Pablo Iglesias struggled until the last moment to convince the pro-independence supporters Sanchez Budgets in order to avoid an electoral breakthrough inconvenient for their troubled party, but once sentenced the legislature, has decided to distance from the PSOE.

  The campaign strategy of the party, which, in the absence of churches for their paternity leave, pilots Irene Montero, was clear both on Tuesday and Wednesday in the control sessions of the Government in Congress and the Senate. Montero presented his party as the only guarantee that there will not be a right-wing government and used an order from the Ministry of Finance that limits the spending of the rest of the departments to 50% (so that if they are approved this year). some new accounts are not conditioned by what was executed with the Budget of the Rajoy) to accuse the Socialists of applying, "when nobody sees them", the same austerity recipes as the popular ones.

In principle, Podemos has already warned the Executive that he can only count on his vote for issues that were part of the budget agreement that both signed last October. An example would be the progressive equalization of maternity and paternity leave to 16 weeks, but sources of the Vice President of the Government warn that the matter will not be regulated by decree "It will not go, it is not possible - they maintain-; we study other things that can be viable now ».

  The problem is that, in other aspects, the document signed in Moncloa by Sánchez and Iglesias was too generic and the Government fears that the party on its left will be placed in "very maximalist" positions.

«Electoral tretas»
Fear is justified. On Tuesday, Podemos refused to approve the Toledo Pact recommendations agreed by the rest of the groups because it did not include issues such as whether pensions are again linked to the IPC by law or that the retirement age is again at 65 years of age. two days later, Montero warned that he would not participate in the "electoral tricks" of the PSOE and that he will analyze the proposal on proposal before giving his approval. Already last January, in addition, We can rejected the decree of housing presented by the Executive because, in his opinion, it was very short.

Celaá showed this Friday, in any case, that he will try to pressure his so far partner. Not in vain, she practically made him jointly responsible for the loss of four families in the Madrid district of Lavapiés because, according to her, some of the measures contained in that decree lying down "would have made impossible, surely, realities and images" like those that were seen.

Among the subjects that the Government aspires to approve now are the subsidy for unemployed people over 52 years old and the Social Security contributions of the non-professional caregivers of people with dependency. It is what you see most feasible to move forward. However, it also wants to modify some aspects of the PP's labor reform in 2012 (recover the ultraactivity, the primacy of the sectoral agreement over the company and the time control) and, in addition, intends to transform into a decree the PSOE's law proposal on equality labor, which provides for fines for companies that prevent conciliation and urges companies to have a balanced representation of women and men on their boards of directors since 2023. A proposal paralyzed by PP and Citizens in the Congress Bureau.
