Sánchez is confident of reaching an agreement with the carriers this week and the partners demand ambitious measures
The Government is making an effort to convey an image of tranquility while the protests in the streets are spreading due to the exorbitant increase in prices that is forcing some industries to stop and that threatens shortages due to the transporters’ strike. Pedro Sánchez has been convinced that there may be an agreement with that sector this week, when the Executive can specify the measures that it will implement once the European Council establishes a common framework for the twenty-seven. “We will reach an agreement with all the sectors affected by this rise in prices,” he stated in Congress. The president has insisted that it is necessary to act in the European framework and then in the national one, for which he has summoned all the groups to reach an agreement to face the consequences of the war while the partners of the Executive demand ambition in measures.
“We are working at a European level, I don’t know why they criticize it, so that we give a common response to a common problem that is the price of energy”, he explained in the control session before recalling that the Government is talking to the social agents, with the parties and the autonomous communities “to make a great plan for the economic consequences of the war”, the details of which are unknown. “We are working, building a country agreement and we hope that you will join this agreement,” he told the PP.
The conservative spokeswoman, Cuca Gamarra, had reproached him for being “on an international tour” while the rural world or the carriers are on the street. “So far he has done nothing and it is not an option,” the PP deputy told him, who said that the president “flees” and “barricades himself” in the EU following Sánchez started a round with international leaders to find allies to the proposal to decouple gas from energy prices, which is the main measure that Spain defends to lower prices. “To the many problems we have in our country (…) one more joins: yourself. React, take action, Spain is in a state of collapse and you don’t seem to know”, she has reproached him.
“They have spent two years with the same argument that can be summed up in that there is a great problem, which is Pedro Sánchez, and the great solution, Pablo Casado. Two years following being with the rattle, you get rid of a single great solution, ” The president has ironized regarding the fall of Casado and has referred to the change “for 99% of the votes” that Alberto Núñez Feijóo received in the vote organized by Genoa so that the Galician can say that the militants have voted for him. “Seen what I have seen and heard what I have heard, I can only say that this great solution is exactly the same as the previous one”, he has expressed.
But the criticism has been equally harsh from the bench on the left. “Aren’t they tired of saying that the extreme right is coming, that someone like Abascal is coming, who has never worked in his life and who, week following week, votes once morest the interests of the working class and walks through working class demonstrations?” , Gabriel Rufián has asked the coalition benches. “We talk regarding issues that nobody is interested in,” said the ERC spokesperson, who has indicated that people are interested in the fact that electricity has risen 80%, butane, 33%, and gasoline, 30% in the last year. “Ladies of the left, I am also fed up. We have to stop being military exclusively in morality and start being military in utility”, Rufián has settled, who has defended that “prices must be met”, “publicly control electricity companies” and stop talking regarding “taxes on the poor” to talk regarding “taxes on the rich”. “The party of the rich will thus begin to suffer,” he warned.
