What have we voted for? Has anything changed?

  • Yesterday, too, election day. And today, once again, a day to reflect on the near future. The truth is, I don't know what we've chosen or what some people wanted us to choose. For example, Candidate Sánchez said that on 10 November the policies were not voted on, but the government and the unblocking.

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

Well, it doesn't seem like that happened. I would not say that the government has been decided in the state, not at all. And, on the contrary, in my opinion, the paths to make politics have been pointed out: the own, of course, but the clean paths. I cannot interpret the results of yesterday in any other way.

On the one hand, the participation data has not been good, of 69.87% - very similar in the Basque Country and Navarre - but it has not been especially bad either. It seems, therefore, that people are not yet completely fed up and want to influence the political arena.

People talked clearly. Once again, it has put two avenues: progressive policies and reactionary policies; intolerance and dialogue; equality and social injustice. And he has chosen the parties to carry out those policies.

People talked clearly. Once again, it has put two avenues: progressive policies and reactionary policies; intolerance and dialogue; equality and social injustice. And he has chosen the parties to carry out those policies.

The choice has been clear: right and left – nuance to nuance – almost equal. But by modifying the balances between the aspects that will address both paths, especially on the right margin. To this end, Cs has lost all the confidence he has had so far and his framework has disappeared – or adapted – with the resignation of his leader and the responsibility in his place, in the PP and in VOX. It has not been a joke, no, because on the one hand it assumes that the political forces are being asked to speak clearly and, above all, to place themselves in a well-defined area. What was Cs? Right or half? The key or the obstacle? People have not understood either their position or the apparent distance they wanted to maintain from the socialists and the pp. The same happened to UPyD – although its influence was much less in its day – and today it has asked for the vote for its leader, Rosa Díez, of the PP. All this is smelled by people and they don't accept it.

Yes, it is. On the right, yesterday’s results have made things clearer. In Spain, a single right has not been wanted, a single “normalized” right has not been chosen. In Spain, the 3,640,063 voters voted in favour of a far-right party in Congress. What would you find there? There is perhaps a clean and strong speech, an artificially agitated anti-ghost speech, known in Europe. On the other hand, it seems that we want to promote the greatness of Spain, something that does not come from far, but that will have consequences that we know very well. But the worst thing is that there is no main discourse against him without complexes and only VOX is opposed by the real left, as if it were the other end. And that is not the case, it is not the two extremes: one’s discourse is not legitimate from the point of view of human rights.

I am not going to say that Sánchez is guilty of holding elections. In the end, people have voted freely. But it will be your fault if, from now on, you do not close and keep the framework of democracy, social justice and human rights well. You should already know who you are going to do it with, because you don't have many possibilities.

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... [+]

Syriza syndrome

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... [+]

Politicians are us

The Spanish State and the Basque Country are more different than ever

Sterile repetition
This is the re-election of the Spanish Congress and Senate, the fourth since 2015. And the first question the PSOE has to ask is why she repeated the elections in the April call that she was the winner. In fact, the elections on 10 November have put on the table a complicated... [+]
