In order to avoid new elections in four months, the president of the PP, Alberto N\u00fa\u00f1ez Feij\u00f3o, has offered the secretary general of the PSOE, Pedro S\u00e1nchez, a possible agreement to face a legislature that would last a maximum of two years and would be marked by six state pacts with which “the pending reforms for our country” could be “undertaken”. Fej\u00f3o said that in this way the most voted list could govern “for the sake of centrality, as has been the custom for the last 45 years”, he added.<\/p>\n

The document also includes a National Water Pact to ensure “access to this basic resource” in the face of the pressing consequences of climate change. The Territorial Pact would seek to transform the Upper House into “a true Chamber of territorial representation” and strengthen “the Spain of the Autonomous Regions”.<\/p>\n
