Vitoria-Gasteiz and municipal elections: win to lose
In an earlier article, I wrote about this issue. I tried to play Pitonisone's role, and if it's in vain, I managed to do it. I have to accept, I did not think that the pp election in Vitoria-Gasteiz had so many votes. In the end, however, this strategy has been against itself. The first pp had the mayor and in the next four years he has committed to give his arm to bull.
What has happened in Vitoria-Gasteiz in recent months has left us with many lessons, some very useful for the future. First of all, we already knew that through the studies carried out by Ikuspegi, the Basque Immigration Observatory: In the Basque Autonomous Community there are a significant number of people who can match the vision that pp has put in place. In other words, for this type of discourse there is a social and electoral space. Secondly, and in relation to the above, the events of recent months have made clear the influence and strength of politicians. The ideas that may be rooted in a part of society, in the move to the public and political agenda, politicians can have enormous responsibility and power, which is evident in the election results. But it's also clear that their ability to ignite fire is such that it can be nullified. In this sense, he highlighted the attitude of the other parties, both before and after the elections, as opposed to pp, in the management carried out.
The final conclusion, the most noteworthy, is that the rest of the majority parties have reached a consensus and have joined in the face of a discourse that put coexistence at risk, leaving aside all the difficulties that might be involved. For my part, thank you and congratulations to all these parties for what they have done and for the courage and generosity they have shown.
But now what? In Vitoria-Gasteiz, all the broken or at least weakened bridges must be built, both between parties and within society. For those of us who work on these issues, I believe that the political management of Vitoria-Gasteiz should be a benchmark in the future, which should be addressed and analyzed. The message is also clear to all those who want to use slogans around political parties or people of immigrant origin. With this speech you can get votes, but that gives no choice to govern. They will have to think twice because the even more paradoxical result cannot be: win to lose. The same has also happened in Badalona.
I think we've all really come out with winners, Gasteiztars clearly, but also the whole of society. I guess time will be right.
