The socialists and their leader are now beginning to do what they should have done with renewed vigor before the summer. Worrying about accelerating fulfillment of commitments already made for the inauguration could have some value in July. Today, it’s not even worth the time it takes socialists to tell you.
First, the amnesty had to be implemented before dealing with the legislature; We then went through this exciting legislative process where we almost had to ask the beneficiaries to please accept it. Subsequently, it was right and necessary to wait until the anticipated electoral wave had passed in Catalonia before discussing the budget figures. Then it was necessary to decide who occupied the presidency of the Generalitat before setting the course for the legislature and we lived this fiction with which Carles Puigdemont tried to convince his people that the deception of Palau a la Moncloa was possible. .
This week President Sánchez has just told us that the most natural and appropriate thing now is to wait for the Junts and the ERC to hold their autumn congresses – nothing has been said about the extraordinary federal socialist because we all already know what is going to happen – to get to tackling the budgets now in a formal plan and finally start the legislature. We are already further behind than Aves a Galicia by Oscar Puente. As we continue to lower the bar for where to put the tape to try to start, for God’s sake, the legislature, we’ll end up waiting for Mengano’s birthday, Zutano’s silver wedding anniversary, or the moon and the tides.
You didn’t have to be a genius at political strategy to anticipate that Junts was going to have a long, hard time getting Salvador Illa to win the presidency of the Generalitat. And not just out of jealousy. The Catalan independence movement is going through a structural crisis, not a perfect storm that will sooner or later dissipate. It is no longer the main actor in Catalan politics, now that this role returns to the PSC, in ERC they are in the process of opening the channel to the public, the heirs of Convergencia face their congress with the share of power poorest institution in their history. and the social majority seems to have turned the page and left the two formations of the previous chapter. The budgets were worth it to ERC because it had already gotten the singular funding trick right. The Junts cannot and do not want to settle for at least comparable compensation and there are not many triumphs left to offer in Moncloa’s pantry.
Insisting in July on removing the spending cap and presenting it now without receiving a cent could only lead to melancholy chants of “extend it again, Pedro”. The socialists and their leader are now beginning to do what they should have done with renewed vigor before the summer. Worrying about accelerating fulfillment of commitments already made for the inauguration could have some value in July. Today, it’s not even worth the time it takes socialists to tell you. The fact that they will now do what could not be done before becomes another evidence against them. Confidence should have been worked on before the holidays.
Now that everyone is facing reality, it might be a good time for them to stop acting like it doesn’t exist, or changing it with tweets and headlines, or by watching a star and wishing for it with all their hearts, or stop breathing too hard until the others give up. Now that Puigdemont and Junts discover that even the most perfect formulation in the world could not prevent the champion judges from delaying the application of the amnesty and that the socialists confirm that it is no longer as before and that there is no has only one possible sum and that it comes with a cost, The conditions exist for some to suppose that it would be suicidal to abandon the only government that guarantees the closure of the legal consequences of the Trial and others understand that being “beautiful“It helps one succeed in love and politics, but it’s not the secret to success in those areas either.
