Junts and Esquerra will have their own group in the Congress of Deputies, as decided yesterday by the Board of the Chamber, after attending the report of the lawyers. The five members of the PSOE and Sumar voted in favor, and against the four of the PP, who consider the loan of deputies that the first two have made to allow the Catalan groups to reach the regulatory minimum to be irregular.
The interpretation of the PP, according to popular sources, is that the case is unprecedented to the extent that it is not the same to lend deputies to reach the minimum number of seats that allows having its own group than to do so to compensate for the fact that it has not been reached. a minimum percentage of votes. In this sense, they believe that the decision of the Board not only affects the parliamentary regulations, but also the electoral legislation, since it violates a result of the voters' decision, which they do on closed and blocked lists. The report of the lawyers has not ruled exhaustively on the merits of the matter, leaving the final decision to the discretion of the Table, which PSOE and Sumar understand to be in accordance with precedents.
Regarding the configuration and distribution of the seats, the agreement will remain for a future meeting of the Table, since the PP did not accept a geography of the hemicycle that party sources maintain that it tried to dilute the presence of the winning force in the elections , distorting the real image of the electoral result. The blood did not reach the river, and a new proposal is expected that allows the entire Table to endorse the distribution of seats.
