Pedro Sánchez mixes early elections in Spain on April 14

The President of the Spanish Government, the Socialist Pedro Sánchez, consider the possibility of moving forward legislative elections to the next of April 14, as they badured it on Monday at the agency EFE Executive sources.

This hypothesis occurs in total uncertainty as to the approval of the state budgets for 2019, which for the moment have the explicit rejection of the opposition of the Catalan separatist parties (PDeCAT and ERC).

Sanchez has acceded to the head of the government in June 2018 after a motion of censure against the conservative Mariano Rajoy, supported by leftist groups and Basque and Catalan nationalists, in the middle of a legislature whose The final is scheduled for mid-2020, a date that could now be changed.

But the PP and the citizens have intensified their pressure on Sanchez, both in Parliament and during street demonstrations, so that the elections can take place, with argument that can not be kept in power with the support of Catalan independence.

Spain will hold local, regional and European elections on May 26, but regional leaders of socialist parties (PSOE) asked Sánchez do not join them with lawmakers, so that the former are not "contaminated" by the national debate, in particular by the political crisis in Catalonia.

Sanchez said on Monday that supporters of independence and the right-wing Catalans would vote against the 2019 budgets and wondered if both of them were living better in the confrontation than in the search for solutions.

The head of government and socialist leader said through a thread on Twitter that "Politics makes strange partners", since" the independence movement will vote against good social budgets for Catalonia and the right against favorable social budgets for Spain ".

"Could they live better in confrontation than in finding solutions?" Asked Sanchez, who also recalled that the independence of Catalonia "is neither constitutional nor the majority of Catalans do not want it ".

These reflections of the Director General occur in the beginning of a crucial week for the survival of his government, which has a little parliamentary support (the Socialist Party – PSOE – has only 84 of the 350 seats in Congress).

On one side, this Tuesday begins the debate on the amendments to the total state budgets for 2019 and, in addition, the trial opens in the Supreme Court against 12 politicians and social leaders of Catalonia for their participation in the process. 2017 pro independence.

The president of the Catalan regional government, Quim Torra, insisted on Monday that the recognition of the "right to self-determination" and other points demanded by separatists would be the key to a hypothetical support. budgets.

If Sanchez does not have support for state accounts, this increases the chances that he will convene early parliamentary elections., according to badysts.
