A whatsapp, a name and an settlement for housing: thus the crimson line between the CUP and the Government fell | News from Catalonia | EUROtoday

The pact was about housing however the picture symbolized rather more. Laure Vega, quantity two of the CUP within the Parliament, sitting on the identical desk because the Minister of Territory and Housing, Silvia Paneque, on the seventh plant of the division’s headquarters and signing the paperwork that accredited an uncommon settlement between two formations, PSC and anti -capitalists (additionally signed ERC and Comuns), antagonistic over the last decade. It occurred final Tuesday and evidenced the political transformation of the Postprocés. The CUP, outdoors the parliamentary arithmetic with 4 deputies, consolidates its recast to realize prominence within the establishments and blur its profile of no to all the pieces; and the PSC sends a flexibility message to its minority within the Parliament.

The strategy between the PSC and the CUP got here from the socialist aspect on the finish of February. Paneque thanked WhatsApp to Vega his constructive tone in an intervention within the parliament on housing; And a number of weeks later, on the finish of March, a name arrived. The head of Territory provided the anti -capitalists the potential for negotiating along with ERC and Comuns the content material of a regulation proposition to restrict seasonal rental costs. After consulting it with the National Secretariat, the social gathering government, Vega accepted. The vetoes fell after years of reproaches. “If they had told me a while ago that we would reach agreements with the CUP in housing I would have surprised me a lot,” admitted final Wednesday the president of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, within the hemicycle.

The negotiation was “comfortable”, they elevate sources from the Government and set up a precedent. There aren’t any crimson traces. Vega herself raised Illa from hemicycle the potential for exploring new negotiations. “We have made the PSOE move from position,” they have a good time from the anti -capitalist formation. Is there a change within the relationship with the Illa Executive? “If we keep the pressure to turn the Parliament to the left, there may be a change, yes, but we continue to think that this is the most Spanish and right -wing Government in history,” replies Non Casadevall, common secretary of the CUP. The protection of Catalan and public faculty are provided as areas the place the 2 formations can come again.

Casadevall was appointed final October seen head of the anti -system formation. The social gathering assumed a change of natural course (by no means had a common secretary) and political (the dedication to disobedience has been left behind) and intends to realize weight within the establishments. “Institutions can play a brake and lever role and offer us a speaker that allows ideas to be sent to the masses,” summarizes the political presentation validated by their bases in the course of the Garbí course of, as they referred to as the re -foundation plan. For Casadevall, the pact reinforces that technique.

It has not been simple to get right here as a result of the dialogue between the CUP and the PSC was virtually non -existent. Beyond coinciding with Junts, Comuns and ERC within the Sanitary Cord towards Vox and Aliança Catalan within the Chamber, there’s hardly any bilateral assembly between each formations on the finish of 2024. The Government uncovered its concept for the autonomic budgets, however the factor was not past, admit anti -capitalist sources, as a result of the variations had been “insurmountable”. It was the tonic of current years: the CUP by no means entered an independence authorities, rejected the autonomous accounts since 2018 to 2024 and broke the dedication of stability with the Government of Pere Aragonès between criticism of Junts and Republicans for “autonomism” in 2022. A supply of the parliamentary surroundings of the social gathering admits that the final discordant development had led the remainder of the events to cease counting them. Casadavell rejects this thesis, assumes that the scenario has modified as a result of the PSC has moved. “Before the housing emergency and the clamor of the street we have forced its position change,” considers the chief of the CUP.

After greater than a decade of prominence in the course of the course of, It shouldn’t be being a easy legislature for the CUP. With simply 4 deputies within the Parliament (its worst outcome since 2012), parliamentary arithmetic has turned anti -capitalists into an pointless formation for Government’s pacts (it depends with ERC and Comunns, sufficient to succeed in 68 that set up absolutely the majority) and its media projection is lowered. The pact for housing has returned the concentrate on the hemicycle, however the formation is aware of that the street takes time. “We are the transmission belt between the street and the Parliament and we are in the good direction,” says Casadevall. “With more rental strikes and with more popular organization we will advance more.”
