The PSC does not rule out failing more ministers after Elena

After yesterday's disapproval in the Parliament of the Interior Minister, Joan Ignasi Elena, at the request of the PSC, the Socialists now assure that "their hands will not shake" if they have to disapprove the management of other Government ministers.

"It is one thing to offer for budgets and the other, to falsify a government," said its spokesperson in the chamber, Alícia Romero. "If there is a minister who has constant crises, we will do it more times", she has indicated.

In relation to the budgets, the socialist leader has criticized once again that they have not yet received the documentation they request to be able to negotiate. In the technical meeting on Wednesday, the Government sent twelve proposals to their group so that the PSC also set its priorities. Romero thinks it's "ridiculous." "This is not going like that", she has sentenced.

The disapproval of the Interior Minister yesterday went ahead with the votes of Vox, PPC and Cs and the abstention of Junts and En Comú Podem. “It is the way to recognize the bad work that he is doing”, highlighted Romero, who added that “it was evident that Elena is the minister of the CUP”, the only party that gave him support from part of ERC.

At the same time, again, the Socialists demand that the Government send the documentation to negotiate the budgets and they hope to have it over the weekend. Specifically, they ask for the revenue forecast and net growth by department. According to Romero, Economia does not tell "the whole truth" when it assures that it does not have more documentation to send them. “They have to have it because, if not, they can't make budgets”, he has maintained.

In the technical meeting that the Government and the PSC had on Wednesday afternoon, Economy raised a decalogue of twelve proposals with the intention that the Socialists would also specify theirs. Romero has rejected it again and has assured that they will not send it to him: "There is no need for anyone to help us make any decision, that they look at the alternative government website and the more than 50 documents that we have". Romero He has insisted that "being open to negotiation means being honest and giving the necessary information to be able to work".

The PSC spokesperson has also denied that the approval of the State budget, which had the favorable vote of ERC, now implies a change in its position towards the Government.
