Moncloa hastens its options and does not rule out processing it as a bill so that the groups can introduce amendments
The door was opened ajar yesterday in Moncloa by the Government spokeswoman and it was opened wide this Wednesday by the Third Vice President Teresa Ribera and the Minister of Transport, Raquel Sánchez. The Executive is willing for the energy saving decree to be processed as a bill so that the groups can introduce amendments and modifications. A wild card that Moncloa has used before this legislature – he did it during the first anti-crisis decree in April when he saw that it was in danger – to save a tight vote in extremis.
“We are open to improvements being made,” Ribera said in an interview on Telecinco. “The desirable thing would be not to subject citizens to a scenario of uncertainty and that tomorrow the decree can be validated, but obviously there is a parliamentary process that is possible,” Sánchez assured, for his part, on TVE.
If the norm were finally processed as a bill, a period would be opened so that all groups could present amendments. However, some groups complain that the project could end up in the drawer without starting its parliamentary process as has happened in the past. “It’s a milonga,” lamented the Ciudadanos spokesman, Edmundo Bal, who criticized the fact that the terms are later extended, leaving him in legislative limbo. Today, 26 of the 85 decree laws that Congress has validated in the last two and a half years are in this situation.
The Government trusts “completely” in the final support of PNV, Esquerra and Eh Bildu despite the fact that they are taking advantage of their decisive position to validate their support and squeeze the PSOE.
