Ecd assure that the fact that the current asturian president, vicente álvarez areces , is not going to run for re-election may also have had some weight in the decision to remove cascos . The socialist candidate will, almost certainly, be javier fernández , current secretary general of the federation of asturian socialists. And in the psoe they will not have the advantage of “fighting against someone very visible ”, something that they would attribute to cascos.-- zapatero arrived at congress visibly tired and haggard , carrying his briefcase himself, without the confident smile of other occasions like this. The press asked him “how the game was going to turn out,” without the president making any statements. -- the president's wife, sonsoles espinosa , attended at all times, with a serious gesture, from the rostrum. The president of the senate, javier rojo , and prominent socialists, from josé antonio griñán to tomás gómez and marcelino iglesias, were also there . -- significant fact: before delivering the president's speech, the press was offered three dossiers , which included the adjustments carried out in the different european countries, zapatero's position on the catalan statute, and his decision. Party around labor reform.
Sources from zapatero's immediate surroundings defined his speech to el confidencial digital as “ unrealistic ,” while the socialists praised his “ responsibility .” -- zapatero, who went from less to more, sought to convey, in effect, responsibility , reaching the Special Database heroic level on several occasions ("No matter what it costs me," or when he stated that he would always choose the best for spain and not better for the psoe). Zapatero's initial intervention was longer and heavier than last year, among other reasons, because last year he announced various proposals - above all, the sustainable economy law -, and this year he has not made any relevant announcement . -- the president wanted to make an eminently pedagogical intervention . However, the explanations given for his policy changes – from public money stimulus to cuts to austerity measures – were, at the very least, overly complicated, detracting from his clarity. -- it is worth noting where zapatero began his speech. He did it because of the catalan statute . Zapatero did not admit any responsibility for the institutional alterations that the ruling of the constitutional court is causing, focusing all the blame on the pp's appeal. The intention was clear: to build bridges with the psc, whose deputies are the ones who have most enthusiastically applauded the president's interventions.
Zapatero's message about the statute was clear: he will negotiate with montilla how to fix it , so that, in practice, it is closer to what was approved by the catalan parliament. -- zapatero had little praise for his ministers . He did not mention – rajoy did not either – the abortion law. He regretted the lack of an educational pact, and did praise, right at the beginning, the work of moratinos , for the inclusion of spain in the g20 and the push for the release of prisoners in cuba. -- unlike last year, zapatero could barely list management achievements. On the other hand, he did highlight the improvement in the relative figures of the spanish economy in recent months. He defended the unions, forcefully, on several occasions. -- zapatero wanted to be forceful about one aspect: the structural reforms must be carried out to the end . And he was caught false in another aspect: fourteen months later, the sustainable economy law that he promised last year, and which he has spoken of again in this debate, has still not materialized. -- in zapatero's speech, towards the end of his intervention, there was no lack of the usual drops of lyricism to which the president is given, such as when he referred to "Those moments (...) when hope was just a glimmer in the horizon".
