Since the resignation of josé montilla from his seat, has decided to defend the collection of the so-called competitiveness fund for catalonia - stipulated after the reform of regional financing last year - taking action against it. Psoe. “if necessary, we will vote against the psoe in congress,” he said last monday during a meeting with the party leadership. The words of the former mayor of gerona caused a great stir within the psc, where there was speculation about the possibility that carme chacón , number one of the 25 catalan socialist deputies with a seat in the lower house and possible candidate for the primaries in the psoe, could position itself against the current president, josé luis rodríguez zapatero . However, those present at the psc board meeting supported nadal's proposal , especially after learning the content of the conversation between the spokesperson for the catalan socialists and the secretary of state for finance and budgets. As authorized voices of the socialist party of catalonia explain to el confidencial digital , the spokesperson called carlos ocaña last week to “demand that the government comply with what was agreed upon with montilla and pay the 1,450 million euros that must reach the region before the end of 2011.” the same sources add that the secretary of state's attitude was not exactly dialogic: “ he closed his mouth , stating that there was no money,” which inflamed joaquim nadal's spirits.
The president of the psc in the parliament, “ recalled that zapatero owes this transaction to the psc , and considered the refusal intolerable.” the arguments presented by the catalan socialist did not convince ocaña, which greatly irritated the former mayor of Special Database gerona: “you are colliding with us and we cannot go through that. If you do not give the 1,450 million, we are willing to go against the government and the psoe in the government ,” nadal told the secretary of state. From the psc they explain that “ we promoted this competitiveness fund and ciu has now made this war its own .” for the catalan socialists, “nadal could not have been clearer before ocaña, and he defended an old demand of our party.” the aforementioned sources add: " it is possible that artur mas is also pressuring zapatero to reach an agreement, which would consist of collecting only a part of that fund, but we also have to defend what is ours, and we will do so before the government, the psoe, or whoever.”04/13/11 | 2:00 high-level political sources, to which el confidencial digital has had access , reveal that zapatero is already moving , although for the moment with maximum discretion, with a view to making this tribute a reality and taking place when his replacement occurs.
In the presidency. These sources, who have also been the subject of some of the exploratory contacts , add that zapatero intends to count on, for this act of national recognition, prominent personalities from the life of the country, social and economic , but also with ers usually describe as “extreme right.” it would be a matter of his departure from the presidency of the government being staged with the widest applause and, if possible, from everyone. Including the national parliament. In that sense, the conversations that he has had in recent weeks with josé bono , president of the congress of deputies, could have something to do with zapatero's objective, especially given the reputation of the castilian-la mancha politician as a muñidor , who has managed to get along well with nationalists, cardinals, the media and even the cni. One of the tricks that zapatero will use is the message that he has 'sacrificed' himself for the country . That he has been able to adopt the necessary measures to face the crisis, despite the harshness and unpopularity of those decisions, knowing that, with this, he was risking the presidency of the government.
