The second vice president of the Government, Yolanda Díaz, is convinced that this Wednesday she did not suffer a political defeat, despite the fact that the PP, Vox and Juns would lie in Congress its star measure for this legislature, the reduction of day to 37.5 hours. “It is very complicated not to feel accompaniment when this measure is won on the street, there is no back,” he said in an interview in Wave Zero.
This Wednesday, the rights knocked down the reduction of day to 37.5 hours in Congress, in a vote that was determined since Monday, when Junts communicated Diaz the meaning of his vote. It was the first process of the law in Congress, the vote of the amendments to the totality that these three formations had presented. The vice president insists that it is not a defeat, that she will take the text again to the Council of Ministers and that those who lose are actually the formations that voted against.
“The 137 PP deputies did not applaud because they know they are hitting 12 million people. Yesterday they were serious and did not applaud. I would have liked the PP to come (to negotiate). The summary is that they have not applauded because there are 12 million who know that life has bothering them. People are no stranger to debates. They have deepened more in the disaffection, in the breakdown between citizenship and Politics, ”Diaz defended Thursday, a few hours after the vote.
The second theorizing vice president that this vote can politically cost the PP as much as he did in the past to vote against the rise of pensions. But also loads against Junts for their position in negotiations that according to work continued until last week.
“Negotiating is not having a position of strength in which one has a key and that key gives him the right to do what he wants. Juns has been wrong because he had the great opportunity to make a key contribution to Catalonia and for Spain. They have been wrong because it is a debate that their voters want to be of Catalonia. This measure is more than installed. The last agreements are already below 37.5. You have to do things that are good for people, ”he defended in wave microphones.
Although in work they kept the optimism about negotiations with Junts until last week and they have assured that the negotiations were going well, which has transcended on the other side of the table in these weeks has always been rather the opposite. Carles Puigdemont's party has criticized this measure since the beginning, both in public and private, considering that it threatens the small and medium enterprises.
During Wednesday's debate in Congress, post -convergent deputy Josep María Cervera defended that the reduction of the working day is rather a “personal project” by Yolanda Díaz, not a need of the working population, which “what he wants is stability and decent salaries.” Even so, Cervera said that Junts has been “willing to talk about work time”, in addition to other measures that “stop drowning” Catalan self -employed and SMEs, but regretted that an agreement was not finally reached.
“I have been working with Junts for months, yesterday I have shown a document, an articulated text of measures for the modernization of small and medium enterprises and for the self -employed. We are serious people and we negotiate, but I have limits. I will not deliver my country. I know well what I represent. I understand the parliamentary logic and together it has x deputies and add x blackmail, ”said Díaz this Thursday.
