Some to build, others to wait for carrion

Is everything wrong? GOOD. Take offwhat they say in Santiago de Cuba. If you have short eyes you look at the Madrid newspapers from time to time, if you are a regular on social networks and if you have fun with Ana Rosa Quintana, Pablo Motos, or when you drink the bottle you enter the vein an Iker Jiménez, then he will see everything as terrifying, worse than a Stephen King story, that this walk in the hotel corridor is a joke with the terror that is felt when for all you have you have these weapons cognitive that we have reported for you. We were few in number and in these cases Víctor Aldama, former collaborator of the FBI and the CIA, appears to us, he explains it in court and says that he distributes envelopes to all levels of the government and the PSOE. The objectives, well defined, had to coincide with the fierce campaign undertaken by the very moderate Núñez Feijóo and his Moorish guard, that is to say Tellado, that is to say Cuca Gamarra, that is to say Cayetana, that is, González Pons, that is, Dolors Montserrat. Don’t like the list of sane, liberal, sober people?

We talked about goals. Of course, Pedro Sánchez, “the sum total of all evils, without any mixture of good”, as the catechism of our childhood defined hell, in distant centuries. Next up was Begoña Gómez, who was literally passing by, but seemed to include it in the statement for a moment. Was Teresa Ribera in fashion, let’s see if we can shake her like a mat, placed there in the middle of DANA? Okay, be careful that there is little, let’s go. Are we talking about the PSOE, which is holding its congress this weekend, with little to discuss? Well, go for that tough guy who fired our friend Ábalos: Santos Cerdán, you’ll find out. And so on. Evidence? He promised them. But in the meantime, all these organizations created by the same hand that moves the cradle, from Clean Hands to Hazte Oír, Iustitia Europa or the Association of Christian Lawyers, well protected by Vox, have ammunition to give and take and present various complaints on several grounds, that someone would have loved joining Star Wars, that Darth Vader’s villain uniform is really cool. Ah, the judicial party, today in the spotlight for the arrival in its ranks of judge Eloy Velasco, this vulgar cashier from Mercadona! By the way, in the 90s of the last century, a friend warned me about this story, a similar event happened, the so-called Intelhorce case. If you are interested, you will see what similarities you can look up in any search engine. Against the socialists, of course.

It is more painful to contemplate how the first opposition party and the friendly press launched themselves without the slightest shame – they never had it – to sanctify the words of the confessed criminal, caught red-handed in a gigantic fraud that the French television series blood and money He told us in detail. Like the protagonists. The comparison with Bárcenas and the attention that the PSOE once paid to the PP treasurer is disgusting, because we remember that at that time his office was 12 meters from Rajoy’s. And papers. Or maybe you want to forget this very detailed list? Do they intend to further confuse this dirty hunt? What does one have to do with the other? Anyway, let’s not enter their swampy terrain, because there you will drown without remedy. But suppose that Aldama is now the axis on which the entire strategy of a Núñez Feijóo will pivot without a single idea in mind – have you heard of it – other than that of dismissing Sánchez? But he knows he can’t, they won’t give him the numbers, and his gut twists with sheer helplessness. They like to muzzle in landfills and pigsties, their natural habitat. Insidiousness is their favorite weapon, in perfect combination with a well-organized social media network, they have a lot of money, submissive and militant general TV channels, in combination with a rogue press and columnists who soak the keys computer in bile and acíbar.

Have you seen in sufficient detail the spectacle that the right offered us with the tragic DANA? Mazón and Feijóo united in the audacity of first trying to rid themselves of the disaster and accusing the government of a truly astonishing insanity and lack of dignity. To make matters worse, this absurd solution consists of subletting the solution to the crisis to a soldier who, the first thing he tells us, is that he is not there to play politics. What will this good gentleman do that a vice-president of an Autonomous Community will do if it is not political? The man in uniform will be as responsible as President Mazón for entrusting the reconstruction of these destroyed cities to companies marked by Gürtel’s corruption. Lieutenant General Francisco José Gan Pampols, we must accept the decisions that are made. A barracks is something else. You are the right-hand man of this character characterized by long conversations after dinner and knowing nothing of what was happening around him. So. We will demand it.

So we said that the panorama we have before our aching eyes wanted it to be black, black. Jet black, candle black or carbon black. But black. Let’s be honest and say that it’s already a little gray. And sometimes when we look up and see how far the top is, we see little ants running up our backs from the nape of our necks to where they lose their honest name. But don’t panic. The government received a consistent boost from its partners after the approval of this fiscal package, insufficient, which doubts it, which it finally succeeded in moving forward. There are 178 votes tied, against 171 for the opposition. Any concessions? Kick It makes sense in a coalition government. This is life and these are the figures that citizens gave themselves when voting at the polls. Difficult, no, what follows. But there is the capacity to do politics. Sánchez therefore has a certain clear path to draw up the budgets, in particular with the injection of 8 billion millions that he took from Brussels to fill a hole here, a fracture there.

The government must face all this with enthusiasm, with strength, with the intention of overcoming difficulties, on the right and on the left, with partners like the PNV or Junts, keeping an eye on the PP with Vox – who propose to vote a motion of censure – and another with his rivals in his area of ​​influence, Batasuna and Esquerra, and on the left with a Sumar who has Podemos on the hump and a Podemos who cannot even see Sumar. A disaster? No, a challenge, like all world leaders who fight every day to achieve coalition governments, whether in Belgium or Denmark. We insist: these are the figures that emerge from the elections.

And it also has to face enormous problems, and this is where its future is at stake, such as that of housing, the great conflict which currently dominates the order of citizens’ concerns. Young people, of course, but not only. The government must make its contribution, in particular by fighting against inequalities, which are increasingly pornographic, against wages which barely allow a decent living, while GDP growth explodes. Where is this great success of macroeconomics going, workers ask, the honor and place of Spain before all world organizations? Because, they rightly complain, it doesn’t reach us. Perhaps these 10% who monopolize more than half of the national wealth will keep it? Will they be the same ones who are angry about the tax increase, the poor people who will earn a million instead of a million and a quarter? Or these other large apartment owners, of whom we learned yesterday that ten of them own more than 200,000 apartments. A good summary of the two most aggressive problems: housing and cost of living.

What we were looking for. Certainly: the landscape is a little gray, to be seen with glasses prescribed with optimism. But please reduce the intensity of the tragedy, there is always time to quote Shakespeare. On the one hand, we have a coalition government supported by external forces, which faces great challenges. And on the other hand, we have a pack of hyenas waiting to sink their fangs into the carrion without contributing a single bushel to the community. If we list one by one all the hunts that were launched against everything that moved around the government, from Begoña Gómez to the Attorney General, we will see how the soap opera ends, every day a shock, today the imaginative agents of the ‘UCO, which They find nothing, but what do they deduce a lot? This is the only policy of the PP, Vox and their fierce allies: destructive and dirty action based on insult. They have it in black.

In other words, between the carnation and the rose, Your Majesty chooses.

Addendum. The Eye knows, perhaps more, that the United States has 333 million inhabitants and that the elections were won by orange gas, this incredible Donald Trump, creator of a government more typical of the Parade of Monsters than a world power. And he also knows, he has just verified it, that Uruguay has barely 3 and a half million inhabitants. And that’s where history professor Yamandú Orsi, heir to José Mujica’s left, won. Yes, it’s true, it’s not the same and one thing doesn’t compensate for the other.

But what do you want, a joy is always a joy in the house of the poor.
