The president of the Government, Pedro Sanchez, has not appeared this Friday in front of the media after the last meeting of the Council of Ministers this year. This is the first time in fifteen years that the chief Executive does not attend to the informants before new year’s Eve to make its annual balance sheet, as a tradition since the former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, began to do so in 2004 and with the sole exception of 2011, since Mariano Rajoy was sworn in 20 December.
The political moment today, with the negotiations for the investiture yet to conclude, is the reason given from the Executive to justify not produce the appearance of the president: “The Government is in functions, it was not appropriate to appear due to underlying circumstances that concur”, has justified the minister’s spokesman, Isabel Celaá, to the media. Sanchez still does not have the support you need to get your endowment, and form the coalition Government that has agreed with Can.
The socialists are still waiting for the abstention of CKD, which subjects his position to a gesture on the part of the Law of the State in the case regarding the immunity of Oriol Junqueras. The legal profession has until January 2 to submit to the Supreme court their allegations upon the judgment of the Court of Justice of the EU. As CKD will not be decided until the knowledge of these allegations, it is becoming more complicated that the endowment be held before the end of the year, and the more likely it is that you have to wait until January.
