This initiative of the extreme right to gather protesters in front of the PSOE headquarters with flags with the chicken as a shield and masked for combat, as if they had come out of a Goya painting, will never be an Olympic sport. Ferraz Street became the Normandy of Santiago Abascal the night before last to demonstrate that what cannot be fixed by votes can be solved by boots.
And that ended badly when the radicals began to throw glass bottles at the police, light flares and try to knock down the property's protective fences. The police repelled the attack by launching tear gas and using batons. And everyone, for one reason or another, cried, including those who saw it on television.
The PP would do well to say loud and clear that the street belongs to no one because it belongs to everyone and that the only damage that violent people do by threatening to attack socialist headquarters is to democracy. Or do they no longer remember in Genoa when on March 13, 2004 they considered “illegal and illegitimate” the protests in front of their headquarters of thousands of people who demanded to know the truth about the Atocha attacks of 11-M, after the Government attribute to ETA?
The ultras liked the nonsense of invading the Capitol and it is possible that for a moment one of the concentrated men thought about assaulting Ferraz. Trumpism produces metastases in the social body, but above all it manages to make things worse. Vox has been inviting its people for days to protest against sanchismo, because those who defend the country are them, while the socialists only want to destroy it.
On Sunday they were even joined by Esperanza Aguirre, who had become a kind of Mariana of the right, one big and free, who got her share of screen time. As the tsunami does not subside, yesterday Santiago Abascal could not think of anything other than to tell the police to rebel against illegal orders, which is an exercise in irresponsibility.
We will have to remember Shakespeare, who in Macbeth tells us that “life is a tale told by a fool, full of sound and fury, meaning nothing.” The bad thing is that if it is true, it can drive us crazy.
