Sancho did not know Sánchez

Sancho, the Spanish sage more quoted than Ortega y Gasset, said: "Works that are done in a hurry are never finished with the perfection they require." Good Sancho did not know Pedro Sánchez. Pedro Sánchez talks about rescuing Catalonia, says that "there is no other solution" and it is as if he were saying "abracadabra": in three days the doors of the Penal Code are opened, crimes by magic disappear, others are sweetened, the country is agitated, Madrid gets excited, politicians get angry. All that remains is for the right to call to take out the flags (national, of course) from the balconies like five years ago, because the homeland is in danger. Sánchez has put her in danger again.

Almost no one knows Pedro Sánchez: when he says that something has risks, what he is confessing is that he is brave and that there is no difficulty to stop him. What has been seen this week shows that the only thing that makes him change is the risk of breaking up the coalition. There are no fixed principles there. If you have to give in to Irene Montero in the trans law, she gives in. If Unidas Podemos refuses to change the law of only yes is yes because the bad guys are the judges, the change consists of recommending to the judges what they have to sentence.

We must begin to scientifically study the Sánchez enigma. This week they called him a dictator. The most delicate, authoritarian. Cebrián spoke of authoritarian democracy. For God's sake!, the exegetes of him protest. How is it going to be authoritarian who agrees every day with ten different parties? We know, because he says so himself, that he is thinking about how he will go down in history and Alfonso Guerra thinks it is a small thing to dig up a corpse. Diana. A statesman of his dimension needs to be remembered for something more relevant. At least, for being the man who ended up in Catalonia with the image of a repressive state. It is his new ambition.

And another note about the Sánchez mystery: if Iván Redondo were where he was, he would advise him: “Provoke the right, president; The more unusual your measures are, the more Feijóo will have to shout, and the more Feijóo shouts and the more Cuca shouts, the more his game will resemble Vox ”. That is the strategy.

Everything is defensible with some exception: 1) Don't wait, President, for applause for measures that sweeten crimes that only politicians can commit. 2) Do not wait for the understanding of society if there was no preparation of public opinion. 3) It continues without explaining why an expired CGPJ cannot appoint judges, but can appoint Constitutional magistrates. 4) It is effectively authoritarian to undertake decisive legal changes behind the back or circumventing the advisory bodies of the State. 5) Changing budgets for sedition is not characteristic of a statesman, but of a pure ambition for power. 6) Whoever is to blame, the idea that power and opposition are irreconcilable is not good for the country. 7) Think about the president what his credibility is if denying a referendum in Catalonia only serves to remember when agreeing with Podemos took away his sleep. And 8) Sánchez and Feijóo think if all the power in the world compensates for the scenario that they leave behind as institutional damage.

Page. One day political science will have advanced so much that it will tell us in real time how many votes a socialist leader wins for going against a decision by Pedro Sánchez. Today we can only assume: Page's criticism, in addition to being courageous, was a great electoral investment. At the expense of the PP.

Phobias. One day political science will also tell us if winning votes and sympathy in Catalonia means losing them in the rest of Spain. At the moment it is a suspicion. And, for the best-known independentistas, something that they will include in their catalog of catalanophobias.

Border. If the unjustified enrichment of a politician reaches or exceeds 250,000 euros during his term, he will be accused of corruption. If he is farsighted, tries and manages not to exceed 249,999, will he be a saint?

permissions. Amparo, 16 years old, asked to be let out an hour before school because her grandfather was coming from Galicia to spend Christmas. The protector of the school demanded a written request from her parents. She protected her commented: "In this country it is easier to change sex than to leave an hour before school." Now they call it facha.

Morocco. She had never been seen. As of today, 97,000 Moroccan citizens are making investments in Andalusia. They are investments of all kinds, from companies to the purchase of homes or land. None have integration problems. None have arrived by boat.
