Editorial: La Vanguardia

• The fragmentation and lack of a common program has caused difficulties in the government of Pedro Sánchez since his investiture in 2023.
• This obstacle was evident in the Finance Commission, where his tax reform proposal was close to being completely pulverized.
• Ideological differences and old rivalries, like that of Junts and ERC, add more complexity to the negotiations.
• The text questions the logic of allowing an executive but then not committing to the governability of the country.
• The government's tendency to include in the same legislative package proposals of different orders is criticized.
• It is pointed out that the citizens would not understand that partisan differences would be insurmountable and lead to losing significant economic aid from the EU.

Conclusion: Politics is transaction and should avoid blockades. When partisan interests are prioritized over common ones, the service to citizens may be compromised.
