We are not a dictatorship, but we are a banana state

We are in the hands of the jailer. We depend on the satisfaction with which Puigdemont observes the progress of the destruction of democracy, just like a retiree in front of a construction site.. It is up to Demoliciones Sánchez to exterminate the separation of powers. And to submit to the humiliating criteria of international arbitration, precisely because we will witness a legislature intervened and bribed by the extortion of Carles.

The conditions of the kidnapping are impressive, because the exiled president has managed to have the agreement between Junts and the PSOE announced by Santos Cerdán in a hotel in Brussels. It was the sinister way of bowing to Puigdemont's conditions.. And to recognize that the future of the Spanish Government has to be resolved in exile. Both for the trance of the signing of the pact of shame and for the prominence that the international observatory acquires. We look like a parliamentary monarchy… banana.

And not only because of the recognition of political crimes or because of the emergence of foreign rapporteurs, but because Sánchez himself has degraded democracy and has managed to bring the members of the CGPJ and all the associations of judges into agreement—against—. They have been infuriated by the meekness with which the President of the Government compromises with the idea of the politicization of Justice and with the urgency of subjecting the courts to the control of the parliamentary investigation commissions..

Spain degenerates into a banana nation because Sánchez threatens the rule of law and because Puigdemont has imposed the deployment of blue helmets. It is about verifying the terms of the elastic and reinforced amnesty that Sánchez has granted in exchange for seven coins, although the most sinister passage in the Brussels document consists of the admission of the deep differences that separate the PSOE and Junts.

It is the context in which it makes sense to ask why Pedro Sánchez then gives the key to the investiture and the legislature to his greatest antagonist.. And why the governability of a polarized nation depends on the 1.6% of votes that Junts obtained in the 23-J elections.

The minority extorts the majority. And it raises a state of general distress that cannot be caricatured either with the folkloric-violent manifestations of the extreme right or with the hyperbolic categories in which popular leaders operate.. They do well to mobilize the indignation of citizens and to argue with the left about the hegemony of the street, as happened this Sunday in the Spanish streets.. And they are wrong to allude to the dictatorship (Díaz Ayuso) and to mention 23-F (Feijóo), no matter how much they are tempted by populist impulses and Abascal's verbiage..

The agreement on impunity for the investiture describes in itself the seriousness of things. Puigdemont avoids jail and Sánchez continues in Moncloa, although the personal reasons that identify the pact do not contradict the extreme depth of the collateral damage. The principle of equality between citizens before the law has been broken; the equity regime of the autonomies has been corrupted; the separation of powers has been desecrated; disaffection with the system has been aroused and the danger of anomie has been raised, and an amnesty has been introduced that humiliates the State in the recognition of its guilt against those who have transgressed the laws in a resounding and multifaceted manner, including the street terror of the CDR.

Ten years of impunity and immunity contains the amnesty, although the most incendiary symptoms of the PSOE and Junts agreement concern the precariousness with which Spanish democracy is characterized. There already exists – and thank goodness – a supranational framework where the bodies and institutions of the European Union operate, but Sánchez has granted Carles Puigdemont the anomaly of an international observer whose role both challenges the space of community guarantees and emphasizes the aberrant idea of an international conflict that clearly raises the idea of the oppressive State and that compares Spain to the Republic of San Marcos.

This is the name of the Caribbean country that Woody Allen invented in Bananas (1974), the unequivocal title of a parody whose innards summon and evoke the round bed of Sánchez and Puigdemont.. “You have the opportunity to die for freedom…”, Espósito's character tells Fielding Mellish (Woody Allen). “Freedom is wonderful,” he replies, “but being dead is a tremendous inconvenience for sexual life.”.
