The Government will suffer on Tuesday a relevant revolution in the vote in Congress before the broad defeat (there will be sure 183 votes against) of the measures raised to reinforce the electrical system after the blackout suffered in Spain on April 28. To the predictable negative vote of PP, Vox and UPN, the opposition of Juns and the four deputies of Podemos has joined – each time more faced with everything that the majority that the President Pedro Sánchez – and that of the BNG mean two years ago. to provide more suspense and expectation to the complex political scenario that is increasingly observed in Congress. Most other points under discussion, however, did go ahead, some as important as deliveries on an advance to autonomies to finance the public services that the PP did support.
He Antiapagon Decree raised by the Executive intended to launch some measures to avoid a new blackout throughout the country, after the worst incident of the electrical system that occurred on April 28. The regulations should be an oxygen ball for investment in renewables at a critical moment where the big capitals are doubting to bet on green energies in Spain. Sector sources and expert consultants warned that if the decree decree around 3,000 million euros could be vanished, since this Thursday, July 24, a key administrative milestone for these projects expires.
The third vice president and minister of ecological transition, Sara Aagensen, sued in her exhibition in defense of the norm “Liability and height of view” to all the groups and emphasized that in it they had been introduced, with dialogue and consensus, most of the reforms contained in the report of the experts commissioned after the blackout and many of the proposals that had reached the groups with which the groups had to arrive in these weeks. The PP refused to participate in that round.
The formation of Alberto Núñez Feijóo justified his opposition with which so far “there has not been a single resignation or cessation after our country without electricity for 24 hours.” The popular have taken advantage of there to advance that they will present their own proposition of law, in coordination with the Autonomous Communities, “to guarantee the investments that our country needs in energy matters” and point out that there they trust to have the support of the Chamber.
The PP did not waste the occasion to recall that the government is in precarious and that the call had to withdraw from the plenary Bolaños Law of modernization of justice and the reduction of the working day outside the agreements between employers and workers. And they conclude that before the negatives to the anti -Spanish decree of Podemos, Junts and BNG “Pedro Sánchez will not have achieved one of their objectives. The defeat is total.”
Junts sources in Congress have confirmed their vote against and reminded the government that their seats “are not a blank check” and must negotiate mostly. Junts will also reject the decree of the Treasury by which measures regarding the resources of the financing systems of the regional governments are taken. “If an agreement is reached, it is fulfilled. If it is fulfilled, we are. When they do not want to comply, the votes are already sought,” said his spokesman, Miriam Nogueras, from the gallery. Formation sources launched a new warning to the government to “put the batteries” to get the amnesty law. “To do what they have to do. With everything parked it is impossible to take another step,” they say.
We can argued its refusal in which the government hides some responsibilities in the oligopoly blackout of the large energy companies, which believes that they send more than the Executive himself and does not fix his obligations or that they implement compensation systems or establish fines to punish remembered or corrupt behaviors. They do not see any substantial change in the decree.
To that position against the BNG deputy, Néstor Rego, considered that the proposed decree gave more power to large electric companies and delves into an energy transition model “unsustainable and at the service of oligopoly” was added during the debate. Rego denounced that the reform allowed “companies to decide freely where to install wind farms, photovoltaic or reversible hydroelectric plants, without environmental guarantees or social participation.”
The deputy of EH Bildu, Mikel Otero, was responsible for replicating many of those arguments rather than the vice president herself to alert the “big bullfight” to knock down that decree “for many people” when they have managed to introduce many “effective improvements in the good direction” in the negotiation for the electricity sector and for renewables.
In the Executive they place that opposition of Podemos in more political strategy than in the background and remember that this training did not want to participate in the Round of contacts of Aagesen with all the parties. In the government they rive it there that it does not make much sense that we can fenure that the measures of the decree would not avoid a new blackout when they are the same stated in the report of the experts in charge after what happened on April 28 and find that they are not delivered to any energy oligopoly when the electric ones that have taken the Executive to the courts have been. They also claim that the proposals will be quite reasonable when they have the endorsement of environmental organizations such as Greenpeace or employers and renewable companies.
In the Government they trusted that the pressure of the different employers helped to convince Junts and PP that the planned reforms are good to avoid future blackouts. It didn’t happen that way. In the Ministry of Ecological Transition, these days have accumulated backups of industrial and employer companies, but also of such prestigious environmental organizations as Greenpeace. The PP was thus fundamental not to lie that proposal.
What the PP did endorse, finally, was the validation of the Royal Decree approved by the Government on June 17 to facilitate deliveries on account to autonomies so that they can finance public services. The First Vice President and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, explained and presumed from the record figures provided in those deliveries on account with the new contribution system, has disconnected it from the non -presentation of the General State Budgets and has questioned the PP to support it, taking into account that this party controls and governs in the majority of autonomies and municipalities.
The deliveries on account are usually calculated with an applicable evolution index in the definitive liquidation of the participation in State taxes and should have been resolved if the General State Budgets had been submitted and approved by 2025, something that the Executive has not been able to translate, and were also blocked when the Government tried sacred the approval of those deliveries through another Omnibus decree in January. The government trusted that now, when carrying the matter alone, the PP lent its support, which is what the popular deputy Pedro Puy has confirmed during the debate, although he has questioned that this action found a triple anomaly upon arriving without the budgets, not surrendering in time and form at the beginning of the year and not fulfilling the PSOE his program. Most of the usual partners of the Executive have also announced their support, although the vote will be recorded at the end of the day.
