After the breakup of Junts, what now?
From Moncloa they take drama away from the decision and say they're still "outstretched hands," while the PNV warns that "a parliament without a majority or a budget is not sustainable in time."
Junts fulfils what he said: he breaks with the PSOE and ceases to be a partner of the Spanish Government. The executive of the party that has met in Perpinyà under the leadership of Carles Puigdemont has decided to move on to the opposition bloc, considering that the Spanish Government "has not fulfilled all its commitments".
Puigdemont has stated in an unquestioned appearance that the PSOE "no longer has the confidence of its party," so "it will have no power."
The former Catalan president has advanced that the breakup will have an immediate effect: "There will be no budget negotiations. "At the same time, he has ruled out opening the door to the PP or supporting a motion of censure." We will not give our vote to the candidate who goes against Catalonia, "he said.
The Spanish Government and the PSOE have conveyed their tranquillity The Socialists insist that they have "complied" with the agreements reached with Junts and from La Moncloa say that they remain "outstretched hands". The Minister of Culture and spokesman for the Summary, Ernest Urtasun, recalled the "progress made" during the legislature and defended the stability of the Government.
The other members of the government have also expressed caution. Sources of the PNV believe that Junts' decision confirms that there is a "negative majority" in Congress, but do not believe that the government "will fall tomorrow morning." However, they warn that Pedro Sánchez "must assume his responsibility and work to unite majorities,because a parliament without a majority eta budget is not very permanent. "
For its part, the PP has taken advantage of the breakup to stress that "the government cannot support itself" and call elections. EH Bildu, for the time being, remains silent, waiting to know the next movements of Sanchez and the independence bloc.
And now what? This is the question being asked in Madrid and Barcelona. The breakup has opened a new phase of uncertainty in the legislature with an executive who sees his budgets blocked and his real ability to govern jeopardized for the first time.
