To reach the minimum of ten seats, the PSOE would cede four senators to the group Junts is a part of, five to the PNV itself and six to the group consisting of the Sumar and Geroa Bai parties.
The Senate table, in which the PP has a majority, has asked for a legal report to assess whether it accepts the proposal conformation of the parliamentary groups of PNV, Junts and Confederaal Linkswho need it transfer of senators from the PSOE to form itself with ten members, the minimum set by regulation. Pending its receipt, the formation of the parliamentary groups has not yet been completed.
The Senate governing body has only formed the three groups that are beyond doubt: PP, PSOE And Left for independence (formed by EH Bildu and ERC).
It therefore remains uncertain whether the PNV will be able to form its own group with its five senators and another five on loan from the PSOE.
In the same way, it remains to be decided whether to form a group with the three senators of Junts per Catalunya, those of the Canary Islands Coalition, the BNG and one more of the Agrupación Herreña Independiente (AHI), with the loan of four senators of the PSOE.
Finally, it also remains to be seen whether the Grupo de la Izquierda Confederal will be reissued, with four senators from Más Madrid, Compromís, Agrupación Socialista Gomera (ASG) and Evissa/Formentera sitting in the Senate, which could include Geroa Bai . added, pending appointment by the Parliament of Navarre (he was part of this group in the last legislature). They would need the transfer of six socialist senators.
In addition, both the PNV and the Confederal Left require the permanent presence of at least one PSOE senator so that their groups do not fall below six members and are not forced to disband.
Javier MaratoThe first vice president has explained that it is not the transfer of senators that raises questions, as even the PP has carried out this practice, but the fact that “in some cases, there are even more senators on loan than their own senators”. of which there is no precedent.
In addition, she has differentiated the position of the PP in the Senate from that of Congress, where the population voted against their own group for the ERC and Junts (with borrowed deputies), and will study possible actions against the Table’s decision.
In this way, the PP, with its absolute majority in the Senate, leaves in the air the formation of the parliamentary groups PNV and Junts, formations with which they want to talk about the inauguration of Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
