With the 2011 budgets . If he can't get them through, he will have to call early elections . The government is already working on the draft of the general state budgets for next year. It will be at the end of the summer (predictably in september) when the council of ministers will approve a first provisional text, to be sent to the cortes generales and open the period of amendments. The decisive moment will come at the end of october , approximately, when the entire amendments will be debated in congress (it is certain that there will be at least one from the pp), and a vote will be taken on whether to process the budget or whether it will be rejected due to lack of a sufficient majority. Zapatero will risk the continuity of his government . Sources close to the presidency, to which el confidencial digital has had access , recognize that, indeed, in moncloa they have assumed that the president's fate depends on that moment. If the budget goes, zapatero will be reinforced ; if not, he would start working on advancing the generals. At that moment, the pnv vote will be crucial, and the psoe is already 'courting' the basque nationalists to guarantee it.
With ciu's ' no ' practically assured , the socialists have assumed that the basques are the only ones who can guarantee victory (although the government would still need two more supports). With this panorama, zapatero has appointed txiki benegas Special Database to be the 'negotiator' with the pnv, as ecd has learned. His ties with the basque country, his disposition, his presence in congress, along with his past responsibilities in the government of euskadi (he was the first minister of the interior, among other positions) have been the arguments for entrust him with that mission. In this way, one of the ' old socialists ', from the generation of felipe gonzález and who were incorporated into the party when zapatero became the general secretary, has become a key piece to save the president of the government. Benegas has established the first 'contacts' with the parliamentary group led by josu erkoreka . Sources from sabin etxea to whom this confidentiality has had access explain that the direction of the party's vote towards the budgets will be decided in due course: “it is still early,” they indicate.
What the pnv leaders are clear about is that “if the government does not improvise measures and makes reasonable budgets with euskadi, they will have our support ”, explain senior officials of the party. They add that the 'no' of the nationalist deputies to the anti-crisis measures approved by the government will not be binding when the time comes to vote on the budgets.Although they try to hide it in public, the deep differences between the two remain. According to el confidencial digital , the deputy general secretary of the psoe has already conveyed to the president of the government his opposition to tomás gómez: “ we must look for an alternative candidate ,” blanco has urged zapatero. The minister of development, considered ferraz's great electoral strategist, bases his opposition to tomás gómez being nominated on two aspects : -- he wants a stronger candidate . For blanco, according to what he has conveyed to zapatero, gómez does not have the necessary political weight to win. And even more so considering that his rival will be esperanza aguirre. -- lack of popularity .
