Spain, Sanchez in the balance: there is an air of crisis with the allies of the Podemos party
In a surprise move, Podemos’ social rights minister, Ione Belarra, asked for the urgent convening of a table with the premier’s socialist party Sanchez, for a review of the agreements agreed on the occasion of the formation of the government. According to some sources, the party of the Belarra (which he replaced Pablo Iglesias, who formally abandoned politics) would be disappointed, to put it mildly, by the “interference” of the Socialist Vice President Nadia Calvino on the new labor reform, under discussion in parliament these days.
A new front of confrontation therefore seems to open, after that of the reform of the house between the socialists and Podemos, an increasingly uncomfortable ally of a president, grappling with the controversies sparked by the claims of his government ally Manuel Ortegi, leader of Eh Bildu, who formally called for the release of the Basque terrorists still in detention.
It all started with a communication from Ministry of Economy, of which the Calviño, which states that it will be the ministry of Calviño to coordinate a negotiation that would no longer be carried out by Yolanda Diaz, minister of labor alone, but in concert with other ministries such as Economy, Inclusion, Finance and Education.
The Moncloa seat of the government has issued a concise statement, which explains how such a delicate and important reform as that of labor requires the commitment of several ministries and cannot be the sole prerogative of the ministry of labor. Sanchez yesterday he had a meeting with the president of the Commission Ursula Von der Leyen, who would have expressly asked the president for clarification on the labor reform, one of those essential in the context of the disbursement of the financing of the Next Generation Eu.
