Alberto Núñez Feijóo has offered Pedro Sánchez an agreement “for the sake of centrality” whereby “the list with the most votes can govern in our country, as has been the custom for the last 45 years.” “In this way, the influence that the pro-independence parties seek to have would be deactivated and Spain could guarantee equal treatment for Spaniards,” say PP sources.
For this reason, the candidate for the investiture has asked the general secretary of the PSOE to facilitate his appointment as president of the Government and to agree to reach six State pacts in a legislature that would have a duration of two years. Faced with the “risk” of repeating the elections in January, the winner of the last appointment with the polls offers a 24-month mandate to undertake the pending reforms and, once that period has elapsed, call new elections unless the parties consider it “convenient”. “the continuity of the legislature to close these or new agreements.
Specifically, Feijóo has asked the acting president to commit to facilitating the formation of an Executive with 15 ministries and to “defend the territorial integrity” of the country, expressly rejecting “requests for referendums on independence and amnesty.” Likewise, it has offered six pacts at the highest level that seek democratic regeneration, the viability of the Welfare State, economic consolidation, reconciliation in families, access to water and strengthening the Spain of the autonomies.
The four-page document with which the investiture candidate attended the meeting with Sánchez includes the need for a vision of the country “in which general interests are not inexcusably and permanently subordinated to other minority or personal interests that undermine the unity” of Spain, implicitly alluding to the transfers that the PSOE would be willing to make to the pro-independence parties to achieve the re-election of Sánchez.
“We cannot allow the governability of Spain to become an asset up for auction and even be subject to permanent blackmail by those who seek private privileges at the expense and to the detriment of the majority of Spaniards,” underlines the PP in its proposal OK. In this sense, he adds that the self-determination referendum in Catalonia and the amnesty for those involved in the 1-O that ERC and Junts are asking for in exchange for support for their investiture “are completely unassumable because, beyond their questionable legal and constitutional framework, they would be establishing differences between Spaniards that no Government of the Nation, which is due to all its citizens equally , you can admit.”
