General secretary of the PSOE, Pedro Sanchez, this morning all deputies and senators XV, which will begin on Thursday, August 17. urged to organize teams for the legislature. In the direction of the congress group, it will be alcoyana Patricia Blaquer and in the Senate, the former mayor of Castellón, Marco. The Alicante state MP was a spokesperson for the Finance Committee in the previous legislature, although he has extensive experience in the national parliament, where he is about to enter his sixth term.

With a situation of maximum tension due to the formation of the Board as the PP has an absolute majority in the Senate, Blanquer’s entry into the leadership responds to the confidence the leader has in the name of Ferraz.

Support for Armengol

On the other hand, the PSPV-PSOE general secretary, Ximo Puig, made some clarifications before the meeting began, and precisely placed the relevance of the Table of Congress as the first stone in the formation of a “progressive and diverse” government. The composition will be voted on tomorrow, and the PSOE has proposed former Balearic president Francina Armengol for the chair of the body. According to Puig, the decision “will signal the possibility of making effective what the Spaniards say, a progressive and diverse government in the sense of a true Spain.”

As to whether Carles Puigdemont’s words, demanding “verifiable facts before any vote,” were still there, Puig called for “rationality and calm” and “freedom from sentimentality”, noting that it was still time to negotiate. Regarding the fact that Pedro Sánchez could nominate him for a post if the PP finally took control of the Congress Desk, the former chairman of the Generalitat limited himself to replying with a football analogy: “Match match”.
