Politics is like a The Indiana Jones moviewhere you go from situations of a certain tranquility to others where you find yourself on a rope bridge with hundreds of enemies on both sides. The current president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazontried a little over a year ago to remove the left-wing tripartite from power, which he achieved thanks to the valuable collaboration of Vox. He was also the first president of the Popular Party to reach an investiture agreement with them, a phenomenal agreement in which he obtained practically all the power and the budget, while those of Vox were content with a few pearls from glass basins.
While the advisors of Voice They mixed with the Popular Party and no one knew who they were. Mazón was preparing to live a few peaceful years in power. But in one of them, the national president of Vox, Santiago Abascal, decided that from that moment on, they were not going to continue supporting the Popular Party governments because I don’t know what it is about welcoming illegal immigrants and others. I don’t know if it was really because of that or if he didn’t trust the people he had proposed for the governments very much. I think that if they had had that doubt, perhaps a good alternative would have been to change them. But when the leader believes that he can be the goalkeeper of the football team, the one who takes the corners and finishes them, all at the same time, things usually end badly and I tell you this from my own experience.
So when former Vice President Vicente Barrera spoke to Mazón about “I could have been your great adventure“, the latter realized that he no longer had enough votes to even say hello. In addition to numerous laws, decrees and various appointments, the need to approve next year’s budget also looms.
This is where Mr. Carlos Mazón should put on his Indiana hat and remember that “Today you lost my boy, but you don’t have to like it.” The president’s advantage is that he already has experience negotiating with other parties. Commitments The budgets of the Provincial Council of Alicante have supported it on several occasions. It is also true that a symbolic support that does not change the result is not the same as a vote that can lead to the approval of the budgets of the perfidious and perfidious right. Compromís continues to be, in that order, a left-wing, nationalist, Catalan and finally Valencian party, so it would take a lot for it to finally decide to support a PP budget.
I understand that it is unlikely that the socialists will support Mazón’s budget, even if the popular support the mayor of Mislata in removing the street names of the religious killed by the militia during the civil war. With the socialists and the nationalists, Mazón will arrive like Indiana in the last crusade, he will find a German farewell and an Austrian farewell, but both with a negative vote.
In the end, only Vox remains, but Vox without Iván Espinosa de los Monteros seems more lost than a Catalan mosso d’esquadra in a police strategy course. At the moment, no one knows, perhaps not even themselves, what strategy they will follow for the rest of the legislature. They can follow the Pagantas model of the Alicante municipality or another more vindictive one. In any case, if they finally give their support to the Popular Party, they will still not understand the reasons that led them to leave the government and will lose the possibility of scoring a point in that approval. If, on the contrary, they go to the mountains and vote with the left, many voters will begin to appreciate voting for Alvise and his “The party is over”, because it is just as useful, but at least it is more fun.
Carlos Mazón will therefore have to leave the library to become a good archaeologist and gain the necessary support to approve next year’s budget.
Can this year’s be extended?Without a doubt, but perhaps it seems wrong to demand that Pedro Sánchez call elections so that he cannot approve the general budgets while in the autonomous communities of the PP they continue with expanded budgets.
Many citizens believe that the 2024 budget “should be in a museum” and that the 2025 budget should be a new budget that meets the needs of the moment and not those of last year.
