The strong crossing between Sánchez and Iglesias in the Spanish Parliament for the inauguration

Sanchez came to the crucial debate on his inauguration which had begun at the Congress of Deputies without having reached an agreement with United we can, the only party willing to support its continuity in power in exchange for its participation in a coalition government.

After the resignation of Iglesias last Friday to personally participate in the future executive, a condition put by Sánchez, everything indicated that the agreement would be possible, but the tone and the blows carried by the two personalities who can prevent Spain from returning to the polls make it difficult to predict that they will reach an agreement within 48 hours to govern together for four years.

"We are a small force but we will not be humiliated by anyone, if you do not agree with us, I'm afraid I will never be president," said Iglesias, lapidary, about the end of his discussion with Sanchez.

The head of Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) opened the session with a two-hour speech in which he mentioned in the end his next government partner, with whom he stated "check that it is not easy to reach a meeting point".

"Nothing good is easy, and what we have in front of us is well worth it," Sánchez said.urging United, we can "reach" the agreement, while calling on the right-wing forces, the People's Party (PP) and the citizens, to refrain from "unlocking" the formation of the new executive.

"What I am asking you is that Spain go forward," said the candidate for re-election, as PP leaders, Pablo Casado, and citizens, Albert Rivera , withdrew their veto after accusing it of being an "accomplice" of Catalan separatists. .

Sanchez also proposed to the opposition "a state pact" to reform the Constitution so that the list of the most voted arrives more easily to the government, which benefits bipartisanship, which caused an angry reaction of United We Can.

"Spanish citizens do not want a one-party government, it is not wise to seek a pact to prevent us from doing the work that the citizens have asked us and to change the will of the Spaniards" broke Iglesias.

Then he went further and reproached Sanchez for seeking to refrain from the right without reaching an agreement with his party, indispensable to his reelection.

On the turn of the answer, the Socialist leader claimed that he had repeated "several times" that he wished to reach an agreement and did not think "serious" that Iglesias "says that we propose a decorative government ".

"If we do not reach an agreement, think carefully about whether you are going to vote with the far right," said Sánchez., appealing to United We's abstention, amid rumors reflecting the tense atmosphere of the plenary.

Sanchez also noted that he had never had "a spirit of monopoly power, but that the Spanish government had to protect the interests of Spain" and claimed the centenary's experience of PSOE against the inexperience of United We can.

"I hope you accept the offer we have proposed, think about it and act responsibly"he insisted.

Before, Iglesias had warned Sánchez that if they did not agree, "many people will think that the priority for you is the power and not the application of a program of left".

On several occasions, Sanchez threatened new elections, a ghost that seemed distant and now flies over Spanish politics.

Tomorrow the first vote will take placewithout the socialist leader having the chance to overcome it, because he needs an absolute majority. Thursday, 48 hours later, it will be the decisive moment, in which we will know when it reaches the simple majority necessary for its re-election.
