Sanchez has acknowledged that his commitments to Junts have not been fulfilled and has announced a decree containing promises
The President of the Spanish Government has acknowledged the crisis with Junts and has announced that the Council of Ministers will today approve the royal decree-law to make municipal investments more flexible and to make commitments to the party. He has also described the accusations of José Luis Ábalos as "false" and that he did not meet with Otegi in 2018.
The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, has acknowledged the "breaches" with the Junts and has confirmed that the Council of Ministers will approve a royal decree-law containing several commitments made to Junts.
In an interview with RAC1, Sanchez acknowledged the "gravity of the crisis" with the Junts and argued that the pact sealed in 2023 was "an opportunity for dialogue and negotiation in a political conflict that comes from far away."
The royal decree-law adopted today provides for the relaxation of the financial framework of local and municipal entities and this measure, agreed with Junts. Sanchez, will allow mayors to invest more in projects that do not generate current expenditure, such as the construction of housing edo ura, which will benefit "the municipalities of Catalonia and the whole state".
In addition, the decree has extended the deadline to support the digitization of companies' billing processes, which is another of Junts' requests in recent weeks.
Sánchez reiterates that assumes the delays indicated by Junts and argues that the new decree aims to "comply with the agreement" and resume the collaboration between the Government and Carles Puigdemont.
Abalos and Koldo García's "Lies"
Pedro Sánchez has described as "lies" the accusations made against him and the Government by former Minister José Luis Ábalos and has assured him that he will not tolerate blackmail by individuals or institutions.
In his first public statements on Ábalos and Koldo García, the Chief Executive, in an interview with RAC1, and when asked whether the minister's accusations are false, has replied that yes, and has stated that all people have the right to defend themselves, "but not to spread such lies, lies, and misinformation."
Among these lies he mentioned his meeting in 2018 with abertzale leader Arnaldo Otegi to agree to a motion of censure, and in response to these statements he reiterated that the government will not tolerate blackmail from individuals or institutions.
