The political forces were set up to end of the year to reach agreement on measures for democratic regeneration, but recent scandals, such as opaque cards Caja Madrid, have given new impetus to the different proposals to combat corruption.
In the rush to close a deal influence the electoral calendar, which make it almost impossible to agree on legal reforms beyond the month of January, but also the bad public image, not just politicians, but also of trade unions and employers.
In recent weeks, Secretary of State for Parliamentary Relations, José Luis Ayllon, accompanied by the leadership of the popular group, has interviewed with representatives of the various parliamentary groups except with IU, has breathed good atmosphere and willingness to compromise.
The government’s idea is that the parliamentary groups are themselves who promote the new measures through the formula of the bill, so what are the role parties and not the Executive, which has hampered previous attempts agreement.
To do this, he intends to introduce in the coming weeks articulated a text in which all proposals are reflected. And the government does not want more delays and wants the deal to close this month of October for the laws to be adopted at the end of the year or at most in the first months of 2015, before the electoral campaign municipal and regional May mar the desired consensus.
The new measures against corruption be articulated outside the two bills already pending in Congress, the control of party funding political and concerning the pursuit of high office.
It is intended to toughen the law to cases of corruption, although taking these new measures of reform of the Penal Code, in dry dock after more than a year several extensions of deadlines for amendments.
There is relative consensus on the need for precautionary away from office politicians prosecuted for corruption, but not how to translate on paper so far, and especially in the formula to return in his place who later turns acquitted.
The other “leg” of the reforms are to agree on is the drastic reduction of volumetric.
At this point there is also a general consensus although difficulties arise when restricting a figure that in the case of deputies and senators, is enshrined in the Constitution.
One option is that the gauging is limited to offenses committed in the exercise of the office and not, for example, drunk driving, as now. Another formula could be that the parliament was not graduated during the instruction so that ordinary judges can freely investigate and pass only the cause to the Supreme Court when processing starts.
In the meantime, the thread now everyday, PSOE and UPyD presented this week several initiatives to tackle corruption and improve the image of politicians.
PSOE and UPyD The PSOE, their leader, Pedro Sánchez, has proposed that the deputies and senators have full time and can not perform any gainful private activity, such as, for example, participation in radio and television talk shows.
In a proposition of law that introduced in Congress on Friday, also calls for the PSOE powers are given to the Deputy Status Committee and its analog in the Senate so you can check whether the statements of income and Heritage parliamentary conforms to reality.
José Luis Ayllon, since the Government has been willing to study this proposal but has asked Sanchez “does not question” the work they do Members, starting with the socialist parliamentarians themselves. Meanwhile, next week will UPyD congressional scandal by credit cards without control enjoyed by directors of Caja Madrid.
Rosa Díez ask the Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria what steps it will take to ensure that those involved in full money back.
In addition to the parliamentary question of an interpellation has also presented at the Congress, the courts UPyD propose that more than 15 million euros that 86 directors of the entity charged to opaque cards are intended to compensate shareholders of Bankia and preferentistas.
