What happened to Sánchez who debuted wrapped in the national flag?
It is worth remembering here and now that Pedro Sánchez wrapped himself in the national flag to debut as a candidate for Moncloa (on June 21, 2015, at the Teatro Circo Price in Madrid). Pay attention to the precedent, because it illustrates the inconsistency of the character: appearing alongside the heavyweights of the PSOE with an enormous reddish background was a scenographic display intended to reinforce his objective of “uniting all Spaniards” under the same flag, to warn to Catalan nationalism from possible secessionist adventures – the challenge had already been launched with Artur Mas in the Generalitat – and to distance himself from his predecessor, Zapatero, who had established doctrine with his famous psalm on the “discussed and debatable” concept of the nation..
Nothing remains of Sánchez's attack of Spanish nationalism. Today it is recognized in its deferential treatment of peripheral nationalisms on which its continuity in power depends.. Although the treatment is not always reciprocated, he insists with a stubbornness worthy of a better cause.. In the name of the governability of Spain, while these groups get tired of proclaiming their undisguised desire to stop being Spanish.
For the day after the National Holiday, yesterday, was the last turn of Sánchez's round of trials with the parliamentary groups that will be photographed at the investiture.. It was the turn of the hardest to beat. One Basque, Bildu, and the other Catalan, Junts, the most belligerent against a poorly defended institutional order, because the one who governs and the one who can govern from the centrality of the system, where the vast majority of the Spanish.
Since a dear colleague told me “never bet against Sánchez again because you will lose again”, I have been tempting my clothes before risking deciphering the plans of the acting president after the jug of cold water from the Junts spokesperson, Míriam Nogueras, with which the round of consultations was closed, although everything depends on the work of the respective negotiating commissions that will try to achieve the white smoke of the agreement. As a result of Sánchez's “capacity for dialogue” with those who are different, some say, or his “capacity for giving up,” according to others..
If you didn't mind the selfie with Bildu (there was no precedent), a week after this pro-independence coalition refused to condemn the desecration of the tomb of the socialist Fernando Buesa (vilely murdered by ETA in 2000), you shouldn't either. import to imitate his vice president, Yolanda Díaz, and dance the water to the Waterloo fugitive, Carlos Puigdemont. At least in a telephone appointment, as he already did with Oriol Junqueras, another accredited activist against the constitutional order.
Therefore, I will limit myself to being descriptive: the possibilities of returning to the polls increase after the meeting of the candidate Sánchez with Míriam Nogueras, who represents the will of Carles Puigdemont and shepherds the vote of the decisive seven Junts deputies in the upcoming investiture of the Acting Prime Minister.
The negotiating positions remain “far away,” according to the spokesperson for this pro-independence force in Congress. He does not consider anything closed, but he continues to ask for the moon in the terms expressed by Puigdemont on September 5 in Brussels, to which he refers. Basically, preconditions that have been half fulfilled until now, amnesty without renunciation of unilateralism and a “self-determination referendum agreed with the State”, as the only way to replace the political mandate of the illegal consultation of October 1.
We return to the pools that have stunned us since July 23, due to something as serious as the governability of the State, which continues to be in the hands of the enemies of the State. I insist: it is not an opinion, but a pure description of a moment that increasingly reminds us of the immobilization of the collapse in the famous painting Explosion in the Cathedral (17th century) that inspired the surrealists..
