Investiture: decisive stretch, uncertain ending

From the presidential elections of 23J until today, The government and the regime are going through a "studded", a tangled political terrain for or against amnesty. Pedro Sánchez seeks to reach the investiture as soon as possible. The right and the extreme right protest from their parties and from Justice. Will there be a new president or new elections? The workers and the people need to provide themselves with their own agenda and a strategic solution.

The PSOE and ERC a lasting partnership

The PSOE closed an agreement with ERC, In reality it was a procedure since it was known that Oriol Junqueras, Gabriel Rufián and Pere Aragonés would put on a show of “tough demands”, but they would end up signing any paper that the PSOE put in front of them to invest Pedro Sánchez. After all, They are investiture partners., of Legislature and autonomous project. The agreement reached maintains the "commitment" of supporting the deceitful and ridiculous Dialogue Table, the dejudicialization of "Process" through amnesty, the condonation of 20% of the Autonomous Liquidity Fund that corresponds to 15.000 million euros and the comprehensive transfer of Rodalies. This last point has motivated the call for a five-day strike in Renfe and Adif against the transfer.  They criticize the lack of information regarding the workforce and working conditions of the workers. 2.000 a 2.500 workers involved. The icing on the cake of agreements is the acceptance of a kind of mediator for the fulfillment of promises.. Providing confidence to Sánchez is not a sign of political innocence but of submission to his strategic objectives that are at the antipodes of self-determination. On the other hand, the right is at war against self-determination and acts accordingly.

El PP, Vox and the neo-Nazis in the campaign

The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, announced on Monday that they will present motions in regional parliaments, city ​​councils and councils so that all public positions are defined in favor or against the amnesty law. The PP and Vox continue an increasingly aggressive campaign. Some of its leaders, militants, supporters and gather in front of the headquarters of the PSOE and Congress. They do it with slogans such as “Puigdemont the prison” Y “No to amnesty”. Desokupa and other ultra groups block streets and carry out riots, raising “The Constitution destroys the nation”, “Felipe, mason, "Defend your nation", “Christian and non-Muslim Spain” and “That milkmaid [by the police van] to the border”. The fifth consecutive day of protests that, even though they are a minority, they were growing in number, There was a pitched battle between the neo-Nazis and the police, with several arrested and injured. Members of the State Security Forces and Bodies are also protesting in Barcelona.. The most rancid of the political arc and of society is speaking out more and more violently against the amnesty.

A right-wing party in a toga

The Plenary Session of the General Council of the Judiciary prepared a text in which it states “their intense concern and desolation over what the projected amnesty law entails of degradation, when not abolition, of the rule of law in Spain, that from the moment it is adopted it will become a mere formal proclamation that will inevitably have to produce consequences detrimental to the real interest of Spain”. further, the National Court that had already accelerated cases related to the “Procès” in previous days, issued an order charging twelve people with the Tsunami Democràtic protests in the fall of 2019, among whom are Carles Puigdemont and Marta Rovira. Nothing is surprising, yes it is scandalous. It once again demonstrates that in the institutionality of the '78 regime, political and judicial positions are intertwined with the amalgamation of a majority of magistrates who act as a right-wing political party..

The PSOE wants to close with Junts as soon as possible

Former Catalan president Puigdemont, exiled in Brussels, He still has the key to the entrance door to Moncloa for Pedro Sánchez. Try to impose conditions, demonstrate that Junts obtains more benefits and negotiates better than its competitor ERC. It does so on the basis of a secret negotiation, under whose secrecy the true scope of the amnesty is not even known. At this moment the PSOE and Junts resume negotiations, with the Catalan organization denouncing a "coup" judicial and the socialists implying that only details remain to close the agreement and that the investiture can come "whenever", although the truth is that that moment continues to be delayed or moved away.

Let the “stone guest” burst in

Nobody knows how all this will end, yes there will be investiture or electoral repetition. What no one knows is the real scope of the amnesty., although those transcended presume a partial measure that would not reach all the retaliated activists and political prisoners, But if it would reach the security forces prosecuted and/or investigated for the repression during the 1-O Referendum and other actions by the Catalan Republic. Not everything is uncertainty, What is clear is that the central protagonists of the negotiations and the “progressives” of Podemos, Sumar and others do everything possible to keep the population as stone guests, so that everything is decided above. And they continue leaving the street to the right, which is a sign that they not only make way for him in the institutions. This is how the bourgeois “democracy” of the regime works monarchical-parliamentary, It only counts votes from time to time and ignores popular mandates. The street irruption of the mass movement with an agenda of its own social and political demands is a need of the moment. To confront the right and the extreme right and also the government and its partners.

Complete amnesty, self-determination and socialism

There are also strategic needs. One is to form a new left-wing political alternative,  consequent, workers and the people,  far from the “barter market” in which principles are trampled and anything goes to achieve investiture. We are in favor of a full amnesty for Catalan leaders and activists and those of other nationalities., to political prisoners and those convicted of standing up against the regime, repression and monarchy. The self-determination is not negotiated and, much less to place an enemy of hers in the presidency. The fundamental solution will not come within the framework of the capitalist system and its institutions., because, a socially just and politically democratic system is needed, something that can only be achieved with socialism.
