The minister spokesman of the Government on functions, Isabel Celaá, has acknowledged on Friday that contacts with the Republican Left to the endowment continue to these days, despite the fact that ERC had called for a gesture of the Law of the State on the situation of Oriol Junqueras to retomarlos —after the european court sentenciase that he had immunity when he was elected mep—. “We are in a political negotiation with CKD, but have not finished the game,” he said in the press conference after the Council of Ministers, in which it has become to reach out to the Popular Party to take forward the endowment if it fails to dialogue with the republicans: “The obstruction by the obstruction of forces anti-establishment, more of that parties with a vocation institutional”.
After several days waiting for the writing of the Law of the State, Celaá has reminded us that the Supreme Court has given the parties a deadline until the 2nd of January to speak out, and has stressed the independence and the technical character of the institution, which depends organically on the Executive: “The times of the Law are decided by the Law. Hopefully resolved as soon as possible,” he said.
The delay in the opinion of the legal profession of the State is also delaying the time of the investiture, that the socialists intended to carry out before the end of the year. Celaá has asked responsibility to the other parties to have “a progressive Government” and has remembered that, with the present relationship of forces, “is the only possible one”. In addition, it has highlighted the need to achieve as soon as possible an agreement for the Government to be able to start their legislative agenda. In that sense, the Executive, as the advanced THE COUNTRY, depending on the increase in the minimum wage, the updating of pensions and the rise of the salary of the officials to the formation of a new Government.
Celaá has appeared after the last Council of Ministers of the year. Normally, on that occasion what the president does, to make a balance of the year. However, Pedro Sánchez has not appeared due to the political moment today, with the negotiations for the investiture yet to conclude, as he argues the Government. The socialists are still waiting for the abstention of CKD will facilitate the endowment of Sanchez, but the Catalan nationalists subordinate its position to a gesture on the part of the Law of the State in the case regarding the immunity of Oriol Junqueras.
