First controlled government crisis in extremis . Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón Cabinet after finding out through the mouth of the president himself, that his flagship project-the reform of the law of abortion will not see the light. The intention is to maintain law Rajoy Zapatero retouching only one of its collateral points: teenage abortion without parental consent. The disallowance is so radical that the minister did not found another outlet resignation. The withdrawal of the reform was clear for 10 days (many even predicted for months), but it was not until last Friday, according to Gallardón own when President staff and definitely confirmed its decision.
The minister had signs that Rajoy would not support the project since late last July, at least in its original form, but still thought that his proposal would be traceable. It has not been.
The alternative put on the table -follow Zapatero made the law by putting a minimum-change so obviously contradicted the whole philosophy that Gallardón deployed for months in defense of your project that the Minister of Justice was unaffordable.
“The president has decided not to proceed with the bill. You acknowledge that I have not been able to make it into the bill and shall be processed, “he confessed yesterday to reporters.
Committee “I am not the right person to carry forward with conviction the new reform that the president wants,” he admitted early in the afternoon, a Gallardón ruefully after announcing his resignation. He added: “Last week I told the president that the new formula could not work it out I”
Earlier, he had said that the explanations regarding their future and that of your project would give them. Today in Government control session held in the House of Representatives where he was to address a direct question on the subject posed by the PSOE and then to a question from the Plural Left.
That’s when Mariano Rajoy immediately decided to take matters into precipitating and anticipate the Minister’s announcement of his resignation. The president, breaking his habit of not lend itself to so-called canutazos of journalists dropped the bomb in the halls of IFEMA, which had closed the VIII World Communication Forum. Rajoy was brief but emphatic: “As Prime Minister, I think I’ve made a decision that is the most sensible: we will continue to work for the cohesion. What we can not have is a law that when government gets the other half a minute change. “
Rajoy accelerated events
The chief executive could not help Gallardón announced Wednesday in Congress leaving the government and politics, also will leave his seat as a deputy and his position on the Executive Committee of the PP while he was on a plane bound for China and the King was about to give his first major international speech before the UN General Assembly. So accelerated events. The president would have preferred to await his return Minister especially when is about to be consummated challenge the sovereignty of Mas and should be implemented immediately, some machinery whose key springs under the Ministry of Justice to stop it.
The minister was forced by the statements of the president to call the press, just three hours later to announce his departure from the Cabinet. His replacement as Minister shall Rafael Catala hitherto Secretary of State for Infrastructure, which may not take possession until the King and the President does not return from abroad.
In his appearance yesterday, said Gallardón that all the work that corresponded to ask your Department regarding the challenge posed by the Generalitat of Catalonia are ready and ready to be activated. He was referring to resources that present the Executive immediately once the president Mas published in the Official Journal of the Government’s Consultation Act and sign the decree of convocation secessionist referendum that seeks to conclude on November 9.
“Everything about Catalonia is already planned. Work in this direction is done. Now the action is for the Prime Minister. In fact, once completed this work I will sense liberated to take the decision to resign, “he said.
Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón threaded in his farewell a long list of thanks to the President, the ministers, his team, the Class Members, to their own family-his son Ignacio was present in the comparecencia- and reporters. He insisted that he will taking to all of them a sense of “debt of gratitude.”
true flavor of reproach
His words had a tone of confession and even at times of mea culpa, but the veteran politician but also could stop issuing a certain aroma of reproach when she remembered that the reform of the Abortion Act was “commissioned” of President he assumed guided “by the party doctrine and the judgments of the Constitutional Court. ” Now your project disappears, after nine months of ups and downs, from the political scene.
The march Gallardón, as has occurred, it was not imaginable or the PP or the Popular Party. The morning satisfaction that occurred in the two areas Rajoy’s official announcement that abortion reform was postponed definitely surprise faded over time and the ways in which the justice minister said goodbye, Marisol Hernandez reports.
not expected
Although the possibility of resignation was he himself had abonado-, popular parliamentarians did not expect this outcome. Many did not hide his shock at what happened.
Several deputies consulted by this newspaper on Tuesday agreed to use the adjective “weird” to describe the progress of Albero Ruiz-Gallardón. His suspicions are based on the fact that it was the president, not the minister, who finally clarified that the reform of abortion not performed. Normally it would have been the opposite, pointed, since under normal circumstances a resignation conditions are agreed.
Therefore, among the deputies of many later-in a corrillos- no problem recognizing that they missing information and do not have sufficient data to evaluate the unexpected departure.
However, the party morning reacted quickly to the words of Rajoy with an internal call to unity. Shortly after the announcement of President controls referred to Genoa’s Party advocacy argument with justification. Aware of the lack of domestic support for the project, but also the anger that has caused the most conservative fringe of his own electorate, the party in two folios, argues that it is “a matter of great ethical depth, which affects the deepest and most personal of the people ‘convictions. “No”, he said, “You can judge the beliefs of others.”
