If the figure of the international mediator for the solution "of the conflict with Catalonia" has always been rejected by the PP, as the PSOE did before, but now the explanation that Pedro Sánchez has given to the media about why he accepted in his investiture agreements with Junts its existence. The President of the Government, in Egypt, justified before the media that accompanied him on his tour of the Middle East, that the mediator can serve to find points of agreement between such different parties.
Sources from the PP assured La Vanguardia that the figure of the international mediator "only benefits Sánchez", because the only one who will benefit from his work is he "who will have to convince Puigdemont to remain president of the Government."
In the opinion of the PP leadership, "Spain does not need any mediation with any autonomous community," because the Spanish state has sufficient mechanisms and institutions to resolve discrepancies or differences between the state and the autonomies, institutions and organizations "to speak when I don't know how to agree."
For the PP, furthermore, the fact that Pedro Sánchez has assumed the figure of the international mediator in his pact with Junts "is a humiliation for Spain", because with this Pedro Sánchez "places Spain and Catalonia on an equal footing", as they have claimed. always the independentistas, when one is a state and the other an autonomous community.
Another concession to the independentists, they say in the PP, that the secessionists had been trying to have this recognition for a long time, and to which Pedro Sánchez has given in, as in so many other things, with the "sole purpose of being able to remain in power", and not for other reasons that they can now argue.
