The PSOE assumes that its investiture partners will endorse the energy saving decree

MADRID, 24 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The future spokesperson for the Socialist Group in Congress, Patxi López, has expressed his "absolute conviction" that the majority that made possible the investiture of Pedro Sánchez will endorse this Thursday the decree that includes energy saving measures, overcoming the announced rejection of the PP , Vox and Citizens.

"The negotiations take until the last moment and that is why we continue talking and negotiating, but from the absolute conviction that the majority of the investiture will know how to rise to the occasion," he explained at a press conference in Congress. This is in the reasonable channels for it to be validated, we have no concern."

Patxi López, whose appointment as spokesperson must still be ratified by the Socialist Group, has indicated that the PP and Vox vote against the decree because it is proposed by the coalition government, but their partners have not expressed reasons to reject the decree and, If so, they would have to explain it.

In any case, it has confirmed that the Government has offered to process the decree as a bill, which would open the door to negotiating possible modifications. Of course, for this you must first validate the decree, because otherwise it is repealed and there is nothing more to do.

The former Lehendakari recalled that this week marks six months of the war in Ukraine, one of whose consequences in the crisis that Europe is suffering and that adds to the unfinished one of the pandemic.

In his opinion, saving energy is an unavoidable imperative because it is a European commitment to avoid drastic supply cuts and possible plant closures due to lack of energy. Furthermore, he believes that the measures are already yielding a positive result in terms of savings.

And what he criticizes is that, in the face of the government's measures, the PP only offers "problems." "The true frivolity is the one practiced by the PP of refusing everything", he has riveted.
