The resolution that will be approved this weekend by the political convention of the PSOE that Pedro Sánchez convenes in A Coruña, and to which La Vanguardia has had access, defines Spain as "a project of democratic coexistence between people of different ideas, feelings and identities". People who "share a common goal of guaranteeing human rights, the cultures, traditions, languages and institutions of the country", as proclaimed by the 1978 Constitution.
This report endorses the amnesty for those charged in the process and the agreements with the pro-independence formations, against which ex-president Felipe González has just reiterated his frontal opposition, who will not attend this PSOE conclave in which today the former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.
The document, which defends that Sánchez's commitment to coexistence was "key to re-directing the situation and reducing the degree of social tension that led to the holding of two illegal consultations" in Catalonia, highlights the concession of the pardons to pro-independence leaders convicted by the process, "with tangible and recognized results inside and outside our borders". "The pardons worked", the text underlines.
"With that endorsement, with that experience, we now start processing the amnesty law. A fully constitutional rule that will continue to contribute to the reunion and to close the still open wounds of a scenario that we should never have reached", highlights the PSOE report.
The document warns that in Congress "there is a large parliamentary majority, greater than that required to approve this measure, which defends and promotes it". "This majority - he assures - is a reflection of the plurality and political diversity of Spain today. Of the need to advance in dialogue, between all and sundry, against those who entrench themselves in the denial of solutions to continue living politically from the conflict".
The PP and Vox, according to the document, promote "anxiety and social tension" in Spain, to fuel their electoral expectations. "The right needs discord", he complains. And he presents the PSOE as a "guarantee of coexistence and legality, of constitutional principles and values".
The epigraph on democratic coexistence will be debated tomorrow in a forum moderated by MEP Laura Ballarín, of the PSC, and in which the president of Asturias, Adrián Barbón, and the leader of the Basque Socialists, and candidate for lehendakari, Eneko Andueza, will take part .
The PSOE's political convention, in any case, will not be attended by the two regional socialist leaders most critical of the amnesty and the agreements with the Catalan and Basque separatists: the president of Castile-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, excuse his attendance for a trip to China, and the leader of the Socialists of Aragon, Javier Lambán, will not attend due to health problems. The two absences will allow the report to be ratified, especially regarding the amnesty, without dissenting voices.
Before Sánchez himself closes this political convention on Sunday - with the PSOE's deputy general secretary, María, and the socialist candidate for the presidency of the Xunta de Galicia, José Ramón Gómez Besteiro -, the party's federal committee will meet to ratify the remodeling and expansion of the executive
Sánchez will also add the third vice-president of the Government, Teresa Ribera, to the leadership of the PSOE. In this way, Ferraz's executive will have ten ministers: in addition to Montero i Ribera, Félix Bolaños, Óscar Puente, Jordi Hereu, Pilar Alegría, Isabel Rodríguez, Ana Redondo, Diana Morant and Elma Sáiz.
Already reinstated in Sánchez's team in Moncloa, one of his early loyalists, Paco Salazar, will also return to the PSOE federal executive as the new secretary of research and training analysis.
