An intense week begins in the political sphere due to the presentation of the new Government of Pedro Sánchez after being inaugurated, the arrival of the new ministers or the amnesty law.

Sánchez’s new ministers are expected to be announced this Monday. The announcement will share the spotlight with the amnesty law. A day later the Congress of Deputies board meets, which is expected to give approval for the start of the processing of the law.

The Senate approved the reform of the Regulations that aims to delay the approval of the law with the votes of the absolute majority of the Popular Party, the support of the senators of Vox and UPN and among the complaints of the left, which treats it as an unconstitutional regulatory change . After reforming article 133 of the Regulations, the Senate will be free to decide whether or not a bill coming from Congress is processed through the urgent procedure, which covers a period of 20 days, or in an ordinary manner, which entails a maximum period of two months.

On the same Tuesday, King Juan Carlos I will return to Spain to participate in a regatta in Sanxenxo, aboard the Bribón. He is expected to arrive that day at Vigo airport on a private jet and will stay at the house of his friend Pedro Campos. Likewise, he could receive a visit from his daughter, Infanta Elena, and his sister, Infanta Margarita.

On Wednesday, the rule agreed upon by Pedro Sánchez with the independentists sneaks into the European Parliament, which will be debated in Strasbourg. It will be discussed as the central point of a debate in the Strasbourg plenary session. Meanwhile, Brussels seeks to have all the information, but it does not help that the negotiations in recent weeks have been led primarily by Carles Puigdemont, who is the main beneficiary of this law.

The political agenda ends on Friday with the first day of strike, called by the Renfe and Adif committees. This is a protest against the transfer of Catalonia’s commuter trains agreed by the PSOE and Junts. The tracks that serve lines R1, R2 and R3 will be transferred.

The strike will be on November 24 and 30 and December 1 and 4. The unions criticized the agreement the same day it was made public, and among the many reasons they gave was the Government’s own refusal to do so before the 23J elections.
