In the act of Constitution Day , three statements and a survey. The position of Mariano Rajoy (Government and Party People ). The speech of the President of the Congress of Deputies, Jesus Posada . And the position of the PSOE ( Spanish Socialist Workers Party ). While the survey which collected Facts Today – where most Catalonia , close to 76%, commitment constitutional reform thoroughly. Believes that the current Constitution is not useful for the present historical period.
On the eve, the King Philip VI left image the wheel of a SEAT León X-Perience , on his visit to Martorell with Artur Mas copilot. Ie dialogue; correction and warmth provided in the forms; and Catalonia very present t o the Crown. The King, after his trip to Veracruz to the Cumbre Iberoamericana , returns Thursday 11 to Catalonia to attend an event at the headquarters of Development. Interestingly, in seven days, Philip VI and Artur Mas have had a personal relationship more fluid the Prime Minister and President of the Generalitat in the last half year.
In the political and institutional positions, three statements:
– The President of the Congress of Deputies , Jesus Posada , requested the Government and the parliamentary groups that dialogue “to exhaustion” to reach agreements and “all Catalans are recognized in Spain, “stressing” the indissoluble unity of the Spanish nation. “
– The Prime Minister , Mariano Rajoy , reiterated that “is always ready to talk”, but demanded “specificity and seriousness” if you want to address the reform of the Constitution. He accused the PSOE of “frivolous” with its proposed changes to the Constitution. Did not rule out return to Catalonia and left his message of skepticism in dialogue with Artur Mas noting that “wants to go to Spain “.
– Finally, the secretary of the PSOE , César Luena , number two in Socialist Party and right hand Pedro Sánchez , lamented speech Jesus Posada calling it “an unpleasant surprise”.
Basically there are three positions in the debate on constitutional reform: those who seek to be the answer to independence cracking; who demand a radical change; and advocates tackle gaps in 1978.
Mariano Rajoy was in principle open to reform but now finds that there was no consensus on where to walk and reach. It also implies an obvious complexity of having to be approved by a majority of two thirds of Congress of Deputies and Senate ; dissolve the Chambers; new elections; that reform is approved by two thirds of the new Congress and Senate; and finally put to a referendum.
Philip VI in your -and in their different messages-gesture has highlighted the valuable legacy of the Transition and copy of the consensus reached. The consensus requires listening, weighing and dialogue. And it is far from the patches for reform to address difficult situations or worse, seek electoral opportunism.
