Soon as the result of the primaries was known, saying that it had been “ a friendly conversation .” and they also highlighted that, not even on monday, they had not yet received a call from alfredo pérez rubalcaba . The same sources acknowledged that the victory over trinidad jiménez, by just over five hundred votes difference, had been very close , and that they expected to have distanced themselves from their rival by at least a thousand votes .Members of this group, most of them also members of ugt (at least a third of the deputies are members of the union), affirm that they have been living for months in the most absolute political schizophrenia, if not in a state of personal anger. “ we are voting for discipline, swallowing quina , things that we do not believe in or that go against our convictions.” these deputies recognize that they would give anything for the government and the unions to reach agreements, both in the application of the labor reform and in the pension reform, although they admit that it is very difficult and complicated with a law in force: “changing the labor reform law is a mess of three pairs of noses.
Not even with the trap of modifying the law through regulations, that is, watering down the reform in the style of what romanones did.” and in the pension reform they fear the worst for the socialist voter. “zapatero has made a very onerous promise, under Special Database pressure from brussels and the international debt markets, just as in the labor reform. People are not stupid. Reforming pensions is to extend the retirement age , tighten access, require more years of contributions, expand the base of calculation years, which is to directly lower the amount." “we are playing the vote” “let's be clear,” these socialist deputies add. It is going to be 'sold' that this guarantees the future of pensions ; okay, but it will be at the cost of worsening and lowering them in the medium and long term. There are hundreds of thousands of workers trapped by the crisis of 92-94 , who went on unemployment, plus the 4.5 million unemployed today.
Some of the socialist deputies mentioned, especially those who do not need a seat or a position to live, have even begun to consider their personal future outside of politics . “comrade lópez” the aforementioned parliamentarians also regret having had to accept the support of the basque nationalist party for the 2011 budgets. A support - they say - in exchange for a cut of 472 million euros for active employment policies in euskadi. “and something that the pnv is targeting and that leaves comrade lópez in a very uncomfortable position .” they see the pnv as an unreliable ally. “as a party,” they affirm, “ it carries disloyalty in its genes . ” it would have been better to reach an agreement with ciu, which has always demonstrated loyalty and commitment to political stability, as demonstrated by supporting the governments of felipe gonzalez and aznar.” they recognize that the problem is that there are catalan elections in sight and that ciu is not 'available' because "The generalitat wants it.
