The hour of the King
On October 3, it will be six years since Felipe VI won the crown through an excellent speech that he addressed to the nation 48 hours after the coup d'état that the Catalan separatists staged through a grotesque referendum.. His father had done the same on the night of February 23, dismantling the military coup, something more spectacular than the Catalan coup, but milder: it lasted less than 20 hours, before we saw Tejero's guards coming out of the windows of Congress. The Catalan coup plotters still persevere in what they do and in addition, they have the complicity of the President of the Government.
The King fulfilled his role exemplarily that day and has continued to fulfill it since then, even though Sanchismo and its allies insist on maintaining notable errors, such as the idea that Feijóo has lost the elections and is closely related to him, which leads them to consider that Pedro Sánchez has won them.
There is no such. Felipe VI carried out the necessary round of consultations and designated the candidate who presented the greatest number of supports, with its 137 seats, 33 from Vox and 2 from UPN and the Canary Coalition, a total of 172.. He's missing four and it doesn't seem like he's going to get them.. Let us draw a pious veil over the efforts of some popular leaders to encourage the illusion that some socialist deputies, forced to choose between their convenience and their principles, would opt for them as one man.. This goes to show, in case greater certainty were needed, that the PP does not know who it is playing with.
Faced with this, Sánchez could only contribute the 152 seats of the PSOE and Sumar and the 5 of the PNV that expressed their intention to support him.. Junts, ERC and EH Bildu, which add up to the 20 seats necessary for the absolute vote, refused to meet with the King, which is why Felipe VI has not been able to prove his intentions.. It does not seem that they are willing to come and tell him about their projects once Feijóo's investiture has failed, so the King will continue in the same impasse and it is not logical that such serious issues be clarified with gossip: “Quelqu'un m'a dit », which Carla Bruni sang with that very French serenity. What Pedro Sánchez announces to him is not backed by highly accredited veracity and the King will have no way of verifying it.. But, in addition, in the conversation that you have to have with each leader, it is logical that you ask both Sánchez and his partners what agreements they have reached to commit that support.. Will Sánchez lie denying the amnesty? Will the leader of Esquerra attend this time to ratify the statement made on Tuesday by Oriol Junqueras, the Polifemo of San Andrés, that the amnesty had already been agreed since August? You, between Junqueras and Pedro Sánchez, who would you believe? Me, to the liar who comes closest to the truth.
Thus, we are facing the second decisive hour of the King six years later, with an extraordinary challenge, that of having to reject the candidate Sánchez for not being able to verify that he has the necessary support for the investiture or because this support is the product of a obscene and unconstitutional barter, so after the necessary time, he should dissolve the chambers and call elections in which Pedro Sánchez could appear with his sails unfurled.. After all, the Gulf of Tezanos assures you that you win them.
