He Article 66 of our Constitution states that “the General Courts- formed by the Congress of Deputies and the Senate- exercise the legislative power of the State, approve their budgets, control the action of the government and have the other powers attributed to them by the Constitution.” But we have reached a blocking point in which it is absolutely impossible for the Courts to fulfill any of their constitutional functions. The Senate You are taking legislative initiatives That, one after another, they are braking at the table of Congress. For its part, the PSOE accumulates almost 100 losses in the Plenary of Congress and in some of them He has had even his coalition partners.
In the seven years that Pedro Sánchez has been governing he has only managed to approve Three General State Budgetswhich is another of the functions entrusted to the Cortes. The year 2024 The government did not even fulfill its constitutional obligation to present a budget project and by 2025 has already announced that it will not and will extend those of 2023. And in terms of the control of the government’s action, which is the last of the functions of the Courts, only a single debate on the State of the Nation has been held in the 7 years of Pedro Sánchez’s government, so it has not been allowed the deputies to evaluate the management of the Government and discuss the policies carried out.
The Cortes They fail to legislate, They do not control the government and are not even able to approve budgets. But there is also no way to get ahead A motion of censure Let this nonsense end. It has already been attempted twice, in 2020 and 2023, this parliamentary procedure for which the Congress of Deputies can withdraw confidence to the President of the Government and force their resignation, and the two have failed. The same political parties that once after another lie the legislative initiatives presented by the Government and that prevent it from approveing its budgets, resist tenaciously against any initiative that intends to end this situation, holding a weak government, unable to govern.
In this situation of ungovernability, only “the President of the Government, prior deliberation of the Council of Ministers, and under his exclusive responsibility, may propose the dissolution of the Congress, the Senate or the General Courts”, in accordance with article 115 of the Constitution. But Pedro Sánchez cannot call early elections because he has sitting on the bench of the defendants to his wife, Begoña Gómez, charged with the crimes of corruption and influence peddling; to his brother David, charged with the crimes of embezzlement, against public hacienda and social security, influence peddling and prevarication; to his State Attorney General, charged with a crime of revelation of secrets to harm a political rival; to what was your right hand, José Luis Ábaloscharged with bribery, embezzlement, influence peddling and criminal organization; And who kept the guarantees at night, when Sánchez was a candidate for general secretary of the PSOE, Koldo, charged by criminal organization, money laundering, bribery, crimes against the public hacienda and influence peddling.
And their adds to add they have accused Íñigo Errejón, for sexual aggression; accusations similar to those that have made us intend to disregard its founder, Juan Carlos Monedero. Missing decency and there are plenty of imputed so that Spain can get out of this situation. With a very complicated international panorama in which war drums are heard in the north while illegal emigration invades us in the south, there is a lack of decency so that Pedro Sánchez summons the elections that allow us to get out of this devilish situation of instability.
