Zapatero, new viceroy of Sanchismo

It was the morning of May 29, 2023, just after the electoral failure of the PSOE in the municipal and regional elections and just before the appearance of Pedro Sánchez to announce the electoral progress of the general elections. That morning, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero decided to get deeply involved in the defense of Pedro Sánchez and Sanchismo. Between this morning and yesterday afternoon, 550 days have passed in which Zapatero has acquired an uncontested leading role within the PSOE, a leading role of a dimension similar to the distance between Pedro Sánchez and the first socialist president of the democracy, Felipe González. A dead king, a king. The Pedro Sánchez of 2014, the one who presented himself through the media to present himself as the socio-liberal wing of the PSOE, liked to say that between the two former presidents, his favorite was González. This must have been true, because until the last congress, the one held in Valencia in 2021, he made strenuous efforts to maintain the link with him. But all this ended to the same extent that Pedro Sánchez became more and more extreme in his positions, with the territorial question and historical revisionism as the main anathema, but not only that. The decision of the Secretary General of the PSOE to form a government after losing the elections of July 23, those he had called that morning, and his dedication to the independence partners, were the straw that overflowed the vase. This is exactly what Felipe González did not do in 1996, when he could try to continue governing with CiU and the PNV despite Aznar’s victory but he was not even tempted. And this is exactly what brought him closer to a Zapatero who was not. not only delighted to grant amnesty to those found guilty of the “trial”, but he was personally involved in the negotiations with the fugitive in Switzerland, as revealed by ABC: to unblock the amnesty negotiations and, which is very important, to bring the Junts to adhere to the general budgets of the State. If he succeeds, Zapatero (and Puigdemont) will give Pedro Sánchez the possibility of exhausting legislative power using the Official State Gazette (BOE). “The electoral horizon is far away,” Zapatero said in a statement to his party, as did the footballers to their club media. “That’s why,” he added, “they’re now trying to see if they can make something affect Pedro.” “Calm down, calm down,” he advised him without mentioning any of the scandals that threaten the government and the party. Opinion Yes Broncano, Motos, Orbán’s chancellor and the fear of defeat by Sánchez Juan Fernández-Miranda ¿And what does Zapatero do. gain, why is he so involved in supporting Pedro Sánchez? A president who wins is a recognition of his seven years at Moncloa, of his historical memory, of his agreements with the independence movement, of his Otegi as a man of peace, of his conception of democracy as a model in which bread and the salt is the adversary’s. . He put it this way: “When progressives go into the field with clear ideas and without fear of what we have before us, which is something atavistic, which side does the majority take? Of hope. Win, in short, that every day that passes makes the seven years of Zapaterismo better.nomecites_0712Yesterday, Zapatero was the most applauded at the Rosa Manzano awards ceremony, the first woman in our country to hold the position of civil governor , died tragically in 1988. The plenary session recognized him not only for his work for equality, but also for his role as a supporter of sanchism. “Pride of the country, pride of the party and pride of the president,” the presenter said. It must be recognized that Zapatero knows how to inspire encouragement in his people: in emotional speech, he is the best. He seemed happy, gave a self-aggrandizing speech and justified himself. This is where Zapatero is, where his party is rehabilitating him for history. In his worst moments as a former president, when he left the burned government, he already began work compiling what he considered the best of his legacy: civilian advances. What I didn’t expect then was that a decade later would come a president who would represent a total vindication of Zapatismo. Ultimately, and this congress is practical confirmation, the PSOE ceased to be that of Felipe González and became an evolved version of that of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. This has been anticipated for a long time, ever since Sánchez embraced Pablo Iglesias Turrión in Congress in 2019, but this weekend in Seville, Zapatero was publicly and acclaimed by the Socialist Party as the new viceroy of Sanchism. And no one talked about Lobato, Aldama or Koldo, nor the Attorney General or Puigdemont. As if not talking about something is a guarantee that it doesn’t exist. Yesterday the PSOE crowned the new viceroy of sanchismo.
