Adolfo Suárez resigned as president of the government. Alfonso Guerra resigned as vice president. Joaquín Almunia and Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba resigned as general secretaries of the PSOE due to electoral defeats, as did Albert Rivera and Pablo Iglesias. The situation of the popular Cristina Cifuentes was very different because she did not resign but rather resigned from the PP after half of Spain saw her stealing two creams from a supermarket and the other half debated about his false master. Pablo Casado was also different, in the sense that the man never wanted to leave, but they forced him to do so, after he appeared in front of the microphones of the episcopal station to denounce the suspicious enrichment of the brother by Isabel Díaz Ayuso with the collection of commissions during the pandemic.
No, resigning has never been a Russian verb, as they defended in the 15M to express social weariness due to the lack of habit in Spain when it comes to assuming political responsibilities. It is a term conjugated several times. And it is above all an act of responsibility that some assume personally and others, only when they feel the pressure of public opinion or are pushed to do so by their political groups. Íñigo Errejón is a clear example of the latter, even if he did it late, badly and leaving an irreparable wound in the feminist discourse of the alternative left.
