The leader and presidential candidate of the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE), Pedro Sanchez, promised to submit in two years to a matter of trust if elected prime minister after the general elections on June 26 , and promised to immediately implement an urgent plan against corruption.
This was announced yesterday, less than a month before the elections, during the presentation of the 18-page document containing the “Commitments YES PSOE for the government of change. ” After two sessions failed investiture, prompting the repetition of the elections, Sanchez insisted that in the last five months has shown that it is “a politician who does what he says” and keeps his word.
“We will not make impossible promises, not going to lie to the Spanish. I’m serious, our goals are ambitious, but realistic, and our commitments are firm, “he said.
So he said he was willing to submit to a question of confidence after two years of legislature. “If I am elected president in two years I will submit to a matter of trust and show that the PSOE, in fact, meet and meet the objectives it has set,” he said.
He also acknowledged that the corruption is the great burden of Spain, referring to the endless corruption cases that have been known, especially the governor and conservative Popular Party (PP), so that in case of being appointed chief executive in a maximum of three months would throw to walk a “relentless plan” against corruption, with higher penalties and the obligation of convicts to return the illegally obtained.
in fact, he recognized the “public disaffection” toward politics, but ” irritation and dissatisfaction “with the functioning of democracy and” mistrust “towards representatives of public authorities”. Therefore, the PSOE proposes to “restore confidence” citizen making participant of political action to strengthen transparency, increasing control of public resources and publicizing their destination.
To achieve this, the Socialists propose near a dozen measures, which include launch within three months a plan of “relentless fight” against corruption to take the necessary measures to prevent the repetition of such conduct, investigate and punish corrupt with higher penalties and a ban on holding public office.
Sánchez argued that the only possible solution, facing the 26-J, is “social democracy” against the PP of “cuts” and “intransigence” Podemos (far left).
“the Socialist Party stands as a solution to traffic jam, the political deadlock,” he said and asked the Spaniards who “do not forget what happened in the last four years,” during the legislature Mariano Rajoy, nor what happened in these five months of failed negotiations between the parties to elect a president.
“we raised a proposal for social, dialogue and clean government. If I have demonstrated I am that I am a politician who does what he says, “he repeated and emphasized that their goals are” ambitious and realistic “have” date “and are” firm commitments “.
the previous season, Sanchez did not throw a commitment to the question of confidence but did so in the last minute of the negotiations to form a government, once Compromís (Valencian nationalists) raised the “Agreement Prado”, which was rejected almost immediately by Podemos and Citizens (center-right).
Then, as a gesture of rapprochement, the PSOE took 27 of the 30 measures, provided an executive with independent and the promise that Pedro Sanchez would undergo a matter of confidence mid-term, an idea that already done the leaders of the two major unions in the country, Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) and the General Union of Workers (UGT) had suggested.
while Mariano Rajoy warned the PSOE that we will ” it is wetting the ear “and citizens that if goes against the PP” “will be very little.”
During an act of pre-campaign, recalled that “I do not I have sat with we as did the PSOE and citizens, we have not granted, “said the conservative and said that” the Government is not going to learn, but to be learned, and there are many people who talk a lot, that says a lot but has never managed anything public even as councilor “.
in his view, the PP” has shown that they can govern, and has shown that with the help of the Spanish society could get Spain out of the crisis “and which “could create jobs” and said it will “create more jobs in the last four years.”
Sondeos not augur majorities
While Spanish political parties are poised to enter the campaign for the elections on June 26 and struggling already garnering support, polls predict that, again, there will be no majority.
the official campaign will start in midnight from 9 to 10 June and the only difference from what exists now is that then we may ask for a vote, whereas it is now illegal to do so.
This weekend have been published different surveys in various media, and today the conservative daily ABC spread another that makes it likely that the result will not be very different than in the elections on 20 December.
Then the PP (center-right) had 123 seats, the PSOE (socialist) ninety; We can (left anti-austerity) 69 and Citizens (liberal), forty, ahead of other small nationalist formations and left.
In a Congress in which an absolute majority is fixed at 176 seats, the fact as necessary broad agreements prevented a pact of governability between parties unaccustomed to dialogue and consensus.
so the elections will be repeated in four weeks, in a context that polls predict that will not differ much the five months ago. PP and PSOE could decline slightly, while liberals are maintained, the survey showed today ABC , which gives a rise of half a dozen seats to the coalition We can and IU, although none of the blocks would absolute majority.
the prospect of agreements required is already accepted by the parties and, thus, the PP today proposed to other formations “leave behind the red lines”, the “personal interests” or “vetoes “and focus on moving forward.
This is the message contained in a campaign video released on social media under the slogan” for “, in which the Prime Minister in office and leader of the PP involved Mariano Rajoy, and other leaders. The reference to the “red lines” has to do with the rejection that the parties made proposals of others that differ, and that in the end were those that prevented the pacts.
The president of Citizens, Albert Rivera, today asked his political rivals not to put the distribution of government positions as red line because Spain is not paralyzed can again.
Rivera, who supported the socialist Pedro Sanchez in his unsuccessful attempt to be chief executive, pledged to negotiate a government “without any chair is ahead of Spain”. According to Rivera, Mariano Rajoy both as the leader of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, they are “more concerned” about the charges by changing Spain.
