In view of this, we should stop saying “the Spanish State is in crisis” and go on to say “The Spanish State is a crisis”: it has become a telenobel that does not find institutional solutions for itself, the years pass, the elections are chained one after another and it does not seem that these November also bring many solutions.
When Pedro Sánchez took the ball in April, he chose a small possession that did not escape him. After a race to a left pact that didn't convince him so much, he decided to launch a nervous triplete instead of moving the ball to Churches. The shot hit the stick. Bounce for the fascists of Vox. And the game more complicated than before. The President-in-Office has announced in the election night that a progressive government will succeed, but having seen half of the cheese distributed in Congress, he will have to do more cabriola than he did seven months ago, because he would have to get the support of the populist Social Democrats of the United Nations Podemos and the Liberal Falangists of Citizens, as well as some minority parties that have appeared on the scene.
There is another possibility, that pp forms a large German-style constitutionalist coalition. With this vast majority, construction could be carried out on the foundations that the 78 regime building is rotten, as if it were a ruler in danger of collapse. But that wager has a problem: even more, it would spray Abascal's legion.
The Iberian Tertullians speak of a lack of governance in recent years. No wonder, given that in Spanish political culture until 40 years ago, any system in which the participation of more than one party was allowed was considered ungovernable. From behind came the party based on the alternation of the two major parties, the Regime of 78, but the best seems to be already given. And in this twilight that the old one is about to disappear, but the new one is made more and more later, monsters begin to appear: 52 fascist MEPs serving united Spain, dependent on the bosses. If we consider the obsessions of Vox as a symptom of the crisis in Spain, it is quite clear that national and social rights are the ones that make the state sick. The struggles taking place in these two areas, therefore, will show the face that the future will have, probably clearer than the elections.
Remember when the first bite was: 28 April 2019. Because it coincided with the elections in Spain. It happened in the most stupid way: when he took the voting role of the party that always votes – by tradition, by conformism, even by a point of abouga – and put it in the... [+]
It is no wonder that the Greek party Syriza and the former lehendakari Tsipras have not been seen or heard at all in this campaign, despite, I believe, the Greek experience. Deliberately forgotten to the people, but very present in the campaign designs. Remember the programme... [+]
"All politicians are equal." Every time I hear this phrase, I get impatience. The same impatience that I experience when I hear someone proclaim to be a politician or a citizen of the world.
It also happens to me with other rounds of another kind: they can be lighter – in a... [+]
