The Government will have to take to the Congress of Deputies the Royal Decree-Law that was approved last Tuesday for your validation. There will be no problem getting the support of the House. At least, that is what they confirm to Public the vast majority of parliamentary groups and what is deduced from the words of others. All of them place it as a priority that the aid reaches the affected territories forcefully and put aside political intrigues. In fact, the general feeling is that Pedro Sanchez must approve more decrees and not only the one who has already left the Council of Ministers.
The first approved aid package has funds of 10.6 billion euros in which actions are included to give a urgent response to the consequences of DANA, to rebuild affected areas and to provide the territory with some optimal infrastructure so that a similar disaster does not occur again in the future.
The decree will have to be validated in Congress in the next 30 daysas required by the Constitution. At the moment, it has not been included in the agenda of the Next week’s plenary sessionbut it is expected that it will appear in the next one.
In any case, the Government knows that this decree will not be enough and Sánchez has in mind to approve more. There you will also find the outstretched hand of more than enough parliamentary arch formations. In principle, even People’s Party (PP), who has said that their votes can be counted on to move forward aid packages. It is the same position maintained by other forces that do not usually support the Government in Congress, such as Union of the Navarrese People (UPN). Vox It is a mystery, since he did not even attend the meetings he scheduled Felix BolañosMinister of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts, at the beginning of the week to report on the action plan on DANA.
It must also be taken into account that several parties have sent the Government a series of proposals that they consider beneficial for the reconstruction of the affected territories and for help to resurface to the affected people. Therefore, once the first decree approved by the Executive is validated, these formations will push so that in the eventual following packages they can also see their measurements reflected.
It is the case of Republican Left (ERC) or Can. Both forces have prepared separate documents with proposals and, although they emphasize that their votes will always serve to provide solutions to the catastrophe and in no case will they be an impediment, they also point out that they want the measures that they have extended to the Executive to be take into account. Together for Cataloniaas usual, has not spoken.
The training he leads Ione Belarra proposed to the Executive, among other things, to suspend the rents and mortgages to people whose home has been damaged after DANA, completely forgive the mortgages of the devastated homes, intervene prices of food to make a very difficult period more bearable economically or fine companies “that put workers at risk.”
Party sources slip that they saw Bolaños receptive regarding the mortgage measures. They hope, therefore, that this predisposition will be reflected in future packages.
Something similar happens with CKD. Among its proposals are the shielding of unemployment benefits for people living in the territories affected by DANA; the ban on layoffs caused directly or indirectly by the natural disaster; ensure that people who enter an ERTE keep their job for, at least, 24 months; transfer to the autonomies a fund for the relocation of women who may suffer gender violence or adapt the tax framework to the climate emergency.
Many of them are measured in labor matter to enhance those already announced by the Ministry of Laborsuch as workers who cannot go to their workplace do not lose rights or salary or that people who have been absent from their position due to DANA have paid leave not recoverable.
Aid is one thing and Budgets are another.
All the sources consulted by this means from among the forces that make up the chamber indicate that their conviction to support the aid decrees is total. Instead, they put on the handbrake when it comes to General State Budgets (PGE). Sánchez affirmed on Tuesday that approving public accounts is more important after DANA. It is something that several sources make sense of. An EH Bildu deputy slips that “what Sánchez says can be logical“, but, he adds, “I don’t know if it will have an effect on those who voted “no.”
But, in general, the president’s words have caused rejection. Voices from ERC or Podemos assert that, regardless of whether the Budgets must take into account the reconstruction of the affected territories of the Country Valencia and Castile-La Manchathe negotiation should focus on the requirements that the parties had already set previously. This is the same as, for example, Canarian Coalitionwhich will only approve the public accounts if they include the financial provision necessary to cover the expenses caused by the eruption of the La Palma volcano.
The PP, for its part, went so far as to accuse the Executive of “blackmail“. From the Government, they came out emphasizing that aid via decree is not in danger – one decree has already been approved and more will likely arrive – but they remain in the position that the Budgets will have to expand due to DANA. own Yolanda Diazleader of Sumar, second vice president of the Government and Minister of Labor, assured that the disaster will “impact” in the accounts. Therefore, he asked for “responsibility” from all groups.
