Axles of Cars
Josu Santesteban
That's the revolution, the revolution of the Catalan political car! At least apparently. A PP voter came out without a second thought: “People wanted change and here we have it” or something like that. I am, however, convinced that there has been no change, but the failure of an attempt at change, instead of which the people have decided to return to their previous security: a calm and pragmatic Catalan nationalism, a more “natural” division of Spanish nationalism between the PP and the PSOE (yes, I say the PSOE deliberately, because the PSOE has led to the defeat of the PSC), a loss of the work of Catalan leftist nationalism between the PP and the PSOE (yes, I say the PSOE intentionally, because the PSOE has led to the defeat of the
PSC). High, the program failed afterwards. On the one hand, the PSOE, it says, has already sent the PSC to the gallows, because the other has deaf ears to the other Catalans and has surrendered to neoliberal politics in general. From the other hand, ERC has won its penalty for its own merits: it was undoubtedly the one who risked the most to join the government coalition with the PSC and put a bold (I think appropriate) position in the match, but not as brave as fast in subsequent plays, and has been adrift (not forgetting that the defeat of the PSC should have brought the one of the governors, in part or in the other).
In view of the failure of the attempt to change, the many voters have resorted, in my opinion, to their previous refuge in this election, to the regression of that bet on the transversality of nationalism and leftism. Not a few of those who wanted to vote for the PSOE more than for the PSC seem to have voted for the PP now, and the PSC seems to be left with only the less nationalist socialists (minus those who have stayed in the living room of the house, perhaps). Many of those who trusted ERC have returned to the CIU, or wanted to include independence in their daily menu, or even stop in their living room. It seems that in 2006 Catalan nationalism plus leftism vs. right-wing (Catalan or Spanish nationalist) was somehow the axis of the electorate, while this time it has been shaped between Spanish and Catalan nationalisms. With this in mind, I believe that the Catalans have suffered the slightest damage, since the CIU has become the main one.
For a long time we have installed the nationalist axis in the Navarrese Organ, the choice of the PSN and the UPN/PP – this is the master, the other is a sincere servant – against all the approaches that have to do with a more active or passive dialect, in anger. Now, even if the attempt to change the axis has failed in Catalonia, what about the possibilities of replacing this rigid axis of ours in Navarre?
Also in the UAE, Blanco and López decided to establish an axis between two nationalisms to the political car, complementing the government with the PP. And this is the axis that has the whole aspect to follow between the wheels. But something similar to what happened now in Catalonia can happen in the UAE at its moment: In addition to the initial frustration of multiple votes in favor of the PSE, which is so badly gripped by the hand of López to the PP that the PSE can be burned by Zapatero’s hell.
The PSOE and the PP/UPN have turned to the rigid axis between nationalisms, inviting to the bosom of rigid ideology – unfortunately the influence of the “rigid indicator” of ideology in us, to my mind the psychoanalytic and political reflections of ŽiÅasked – all of us who renounce Spanish nationalism.
