How ridiculous it all seems...

Stop voting for the first time and renounce convictions? It hurts to admit it: another week like last and I don't respond.

How ridiculous it all seems...

Stop voting for the first time and renounce convictions? It hurts to admit it: another week like last and I don't respond. It all seemed so, so ridiculous to me...

And this awaits us in the next four years?

Coalition governments are a juggling act, by definition, but Spain's is Spanish: the spectators (partners) are the first who, when the tightrope walker appears on the wire, without a net and at the risk of breaking his head, far from remaining silent, compete with each other to see who boos, distracts or despises the artist the most.

Even more difficult: Sánchez's three parliamentary support points are three segments that compete with each other. Apparently, the more they complicate things for the Government, the more arrogant they become. The saying goes, Mr. President, who sleeps with children...

The advantage in Catalonia is that it rains in the wet. Apparently, JxC has regained prominence even if it is by giving the grade, a trademark method, in the absence of ideology. After years of laughing at the intelligence of many Catalans and deceiving others with the argument that the flight of companies in 2017 was a minor thing – nothing, a transfer of secretary and telephone line – it now turns out that it matters a lot that they return. Do they resist? Fine and shut up! And they say they have studied in paying schools?

Very curious about the success of an alleged transfer of powers in immigration to the Government from which they left and from which they are not. The important thing in 2024 is to debate immigration – someone has to pay for the discouragement and confusion of Catalonia – a plausible fact if it were not for the electoral stink and certain statements and arguments that remind us of Vox, a comparison that irritates JxC. They are right: Vox are Spanish!

Regarding immigration, President Aragonès appealed yesterday in La Vanguardia to “integrative Catalanism.” God bless you. What good memories! He is sorry that the independence movement has destroyed Catalanism – associated with autonomism –, the integrator and the non-integrator and, incidentally, the common pride that things were done well here and not as a joke.
