The negotiation on the bell between Junts and the PSOE to save and boost part of the content of the Omnibus decree lying last week in the Congress of Deputies is only the prologue of the conversations to address what for the … Independence formation is the Mollar issue of the Legislature, the Integral Delegation of the Competencies on Immigration to Catalonia. Junts sources consulted by ABC recognize that, in this field, the negotiations, “very serious and advanced”, allow to be relatively optimistic, a certain climate of trust that the agreement reached yesterday contributes to solidify. “Now it is only the political will of the PSOE,” add other sources within the formation with respect to the aforementioned transfer.
As a summary, and in the words of a party leader led by Carles Puigdemont, what is agreed yesterday “is fine, but the important thing is immigration.” This is what will actually mark the viability of the Legislature for the PSOE, and although accidents on the road to agree on the transfer are being important, both for political resistance and the difficulties in constitutionally fitting the aforementioned transfer, in Junts is trusted In reaching an agreement that is assumed, it affects a sensitive issue.
It is not the only “folder”, but the most relevant. If the immigration transfer is closed, other negotiations can be opened, such as budgets. But now that is still a scenario to explore. “They need votes and if we can get something for Catalonia, we do it,” summary within Junts to defend their demanding position and without concessions and at the same time mark distances with the delivery that have always reproached ERC. Government sources, on the other hand, considerably reduce this version of the negotiation. “This issue has been discussed, yes, but it has not been the main theme,” explains a person involved very directly in the negotiation.
In any case, the conversations between independence and the PSOE, which Carles Puigdemont gave suspended, have “defrosted”, was recognized yesterday within the first game. A relationship has been recovered that, in fact, has never been completely broken. An optimistic vision of the situation that is shared from the other side, where Junts is included within a “parliamentary majority” that Moncloa sees consolidate and believe that it will allow the legislature to have a way. Taken from that optimism, they believe that episodes of tension and uncertainty as those lived in recent days are barely “ups and downs” that will not affect the course of a mandate that Pedro Sánchez himself has set as a goal to take to the end, until 2027.
Executive’s “granitic” position
Overcome the obstacle of the Omnibus decree, the substantial comes now. In this regard, and about immigration, the same fountains of Junts insist on the definition of “comprehensive transfer”, which includes the expedition of NI Now “Red lines”, as defined by Interior Minister Fernando Grande Marlaska, and which is why the independence formation asked Pedro Sánchez for his cessation for hindering the transfer. «There are ministers who are not aware of the Brussels agreement. It does not help us that Mr. Marlaska puts problems. If Mr. Marlaska does not agree, he is ceased, because this is an agreement with the PSOE, and it does not help me to resist Mr. Marlaska, ”said the secretary general of Junts, Jordi Turull, on TV3.
It is precisely Jordi Turull, together with the Junts spokeswoman in Congress, Míriam Nogueras, – hard southeats of rooting both, exponents of the most ‘hard’ sector in Junts – who have directly piloted in recent days the conversations with the PSOE to save Part of the content of the Omnibus decree, negotiations that developed to the limit, to the point that the Government delayed for a few hours the celebration of the Council of Ministers.
Both, Turull and Nogueras, guarded continuously and at minute by Puigdemont from Waterloo, are the ones who speak and negotiate on behalf of Junts. His hard style, backed by an executive of JUNTS who since the Omnibus decree was knocked down, has acted in a “granite” way, will not be modified.
“If you stay calm …”
There, the independence party soft the threat of the issue of trust. In fact, yesterday’s agreement includes that the PSOE agrees to process the Juns NLP, pending of which Congress table, with a majority of PSOE and add, unlock it and incorporate technical nuances that are considered assumed in together. “If you have to become calmer with these technical corrections, go ahead, but the substantial is that the debate will be done,” they said yesterday within the party. The most conciliatory sectors insist in any case that the objective of the NLP is not to “humiliate” Sánchez, and that the proposition is nothing more than a way of pressing the president to comply with. The toughest, on the other hand, rub their hands in the face of the possibility of re -facing the president and making it clear that his survival is in his hands.
