message: Given the magnitude of the vote on the State of Alarm last Wednesday−as seen by the Spanish media here or here−which has seemingly broken the motion of no confidence block, I'd rather delete the 'Supported by' cathegory or change the parties which are on it. For example, I'd propose moving ERC to 'Opposition'−because they critized the apparent new Sánchez's allies here and here−and Cs and PRC to 'Supported by'−maybe provisionally−especially, regarding the future vote on the budget as stated by both parties here and here, or at least, the last of them if any of you were to point out this on Cs' stance. 5.34.154.217 (talk) 22:44, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree in part and disagree in part. The things I agree on are that I think ERC and Bildu should be moved back to opposition. Not because their vote against the state of alarm has made them all that much more antagonistic or even more likely to vote against the budgets. Rather I think they should be moved back to opposition because even in their most helpful posture toward this government (such as the investiture vote) they wished to be understood as opposition parties who might work with the government for concessions and in ERC's case specifically if the negotiations between the Spanish and Catalan governments went well. I still expect them to be the Coalitions chosen partner for future budgets. The other place where I agree is that I think we can now consider the PRC a support party. Their vote against the investiture was largely seen as a whim of the PRC President and soon after it the agreement by which that party governs Cantabria in coalition with the PSOE was renewed and part of that was an agreement to support the federal government which it has done in all the important subsequent votes that I have been aware of. Where I very strongly disagree is the idea that Ciudadanos should now be considered a support party of the Coalition government. That is clearly wrong and their support of the government in the last vote on the renewal of the state of alarm was merely a coincidence of views in a crisis. Pedro Sanchez reaffirmed this recently by saying that the Coalition Government's political projects (read budgets and so on) would rely on the parties that supported the investiture whereas the alliance of convenience with Ciudadanos in the State of Alarm vote was only a product of emergency circumstances.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.99.1.133 (talk) 15:02, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
