The open crisis in the Government on account of the reform of the law of the only yes is yes is not only a test of survival for the Coalition Government, but also a thermometer to verify how stressed the seams are in the political space of the United States Can. The purple ones are determined not to assume the initiative raised in Congress by the PSOE, which registered it unilaterally, to increase the penalties. In recent times there have been different meetings of the representatives that make up United We Can to discuss the matter and define a position. Despite the claims of Yolanda Díaz, the hard line defended by Ione Belarra or Irene Montero has been imposed: squeeze the Socialists and not negotiate a proposal that they reject at the base, even if that means taking the fight until the prologue of 8-M.
In this crisis, the most serious of the coalition in this legislature, one thing seems clear: that the agreement between PSOE and Podemos is not difficult, but very difficult. This is how the socialist sector of the Executive sees it, which, faced with the blockade of the negotiation with Equality, decided to unilaterally register its proposal in Congress and, after a few days, in view of the verification that there had been no progress, opted for an urgent procedure, which It caused even more anger in United We Can and reaffirmed that line in the purple ones of not giving in to the socialists.
This crisis has imprisoned Vice President Yolanda Díaz, leader of the United We Can space in the Government. With a diffuse, ambiguous position, she called for "agreement", "negotiate" and "take care of the coalition". But in the debate of this confederal group, it seems that the position of Belarra and Montero has prevailed, who, although they speak with an outstretched hand and show willingness to agree, launch harsh accusations at the PSOE, which cause great anger in Ferraz and in La Moncloa.
The dynamics of shock with microphones and cameras is not shared by Díaz. "The forms in politics are key, sometimes more than the substance" was the veiled message to Podemos and PSOE that the vice president launched yesterday after the meeting of the Council of Ministers. The truth is that Díaz's appeals have not loosened the forcefulness with which she defends her position. We can of her. The second vice president calls for "discretion", "calm" and "serenity", but to describe the PSOE as a "conservative force" that "is always afraid" and that "proposes to return to the Penal Code of La Manada and the PP proposal », as Podemos has done, or that from Equality it was reproached that «what Feijóo says seems better to Sánchez than Montero», are attacks that go against what his leader wants or what his leader in the Council of Ministers wants. : «Without noise you work much better».
Sources from Díaz's environment explain that the Galician leader is a "convinced democrat" and that "he knows how to win and lose" and "also when to loosen up." In the meetings of the formations that make up United We Can, sources from this space point out that the position is clear and "decided" regarding the reform of the only yes is yes. According to what the purple ministers and spokespersons expose, the clash with the PSOE is profound.
"It cannot be accepted that consent is eliminated from this law, as occurs in the latest Justice proposal, and return to the previous model, to the law that allowed sentences such as that of La Manada and that is identical to the PP proposal" , confirmed this Tuesday Pablo Echenique.
It is not that Podemos refuses to increase the sentences, because after the initial resistance it already assumes it, but rejects that it be done as Justice wants, which for this has introduced violence and intimidation as a subtype. What Podemos wants is to maintain the negotiation at the ministerial level, for Justice to return to the negotiating table with Equality, so that Irene Montero is the visible head. However, in the PSOE they consider that this stage has been overcome and, given the existing blockade, they believe that it should be now within the framework of the negotiation of amendments to their proposal that they speak. In other words, a change of scenery, of the negotiating framework and of interlocutors, which in the socialist case are led by ministers Félix Bolaños and María Jesús Montero. A position that Díaz also defends, moving away here also, therefore, from the position of Podemos to keep the Minister of Equality in the front line. "Let's let the parliamentary groups, who have a trade and experience, work."
Thus, the crudest period of the legislature and of the relationship between both government members now begins. The PSOE fears a castling of the purple ministries, even more so after yesterday the spokesman for Unidas Podemos in Congress avoided clarifying whether his formation will vote in favor of the reform of the only yes is yes designed by the socialist sector, which was finally approved. will debate in the plenary session of the Lower House on March 7 in the best of cases.
The refusal of United We Can and its closest partners -ERC and EHBildu- prevented the measure from being studied in plenary next week and allows the minority member of the Executive to continue looking for alternative options to plan B proposed by the socialists. "We must avoid a vote that splits the social and feminist majority of Congress and opens the door to return to the Penal Code of La Manada," Echenique asserted yesterday. One possibility, they defend in the ranks of Unidas Podemos, which cannot happen, and even less so in a key week for the Ministry of Equality such as March 8, Women's Day.
