Summary of the Article

This article discusses the Spanish Congress's response to the trade war initiated by the United States. While most parties, including the People's Party (PP), showed willingness to cooperate with the government, the PP's stance remains ambiguous. They express concerns about alleged preferential treatment of Catalonia, claiming the government's measures favor Catalan companies, while the government denies this.

  • PP's Ambiguity: The PP's support is conditional, with threats to withdraw from negotiations if they perceive political maneuvering.
  • Government's Response: The government defends its measures, highlighting their speed of implementation and commitment to European unity.
  • Catalan Factor: Junts, a Catalan party, claims to have secured a 25% share of compensation for Catalan companies, a point of contention with the PP.
  • Vox's Stance: Vox, a far-right party, largely avoided mentioning Trump, placing the blame for the trade war solely on the Spanish government.
  • Other Parties' Reactions: Other parties expressed various levels of support, with some calling for stronger measures, such as expropiating US investment funds.

The article concludes by highlighting the minister's call for courage and unity in resolving the trade war's impact.
