In 1978 the renewal of surrealism took over San Sebastián. Our particular miniature Paris was revolutionized by the Cloc Group (GC). Its members were Álvaro Bermejo, José Félix del Hoyo and, attention, Fernando Aramburu, who today requires no introduction. GC was a youthful adventure of provocation, humor and literature. Cloc was alluding to the noise that chickpeas make when they fall from the eighth floor on the hollow heads of passers-by. His surrealism, like his political advice, was both constructive and destructive, but only with that which limited the vision and endangered the mission. Cloc was a group called precisely art and disart.
Chickpeas, therefore, that descend like Enola Gay on some heads after the sixth censorship of democracy. The first cloc is to the head of Santiago Abascal. The main consequence of the motion is that the idea of a PP-Vox government, far from sweetened, has been greatly ridiculed. There was neither a real candidate, nor a specific program nor a report from the academy of the transition against the coalition. His censorship turned into self-censorship with a lethal electoral effect on the left and right. Appealing to fear of Vox is not that it does not mobilize, but rather that it produces laughter. The figures never lie: Vox was the party that grew the most in 2021 with 900,000 more votes. In 2022 it is the formation that loses the most on the right (856,000) along with Cs (844,000). In 2023 the decline is still slow but structural.
The second cloc to the head is for Alberto Núñez Feijóo. The opposition leader decided to lock himself in an ivory tower fortified by diplomatic columns. However, chickpeas also have an impact on embassies. The one who knew those towers well and always took unhealthy care before the milky white was Manuel Fraga. He counted chickpeas in Congress, as the older ones will remember, and, be careful, he contrasted them precisely against the figures and macropolitical stories handled precisely by cloistered, hollow and Swedish representatives.
In politics you must be careful what you deserve because often the gods do not give you what you want but what you want. The sum PP-Vox has entered dark blue almost black. It no longer gives an absolute majority (176 seats). And the only scenario that Feijóo could have left after 28-M is the solo government that he wants. His Adult Politics is born with an original sin: the theoretical resurrection of bipartisanship. Which is not going to happen. The more the PP concentrates useful votes, if Sumar (soon, sure, with Podemos motor) develops a good race strategy, obtaining third position against Vox, his presidency is literally over. He will be able to win the popular vote, yes, like Mariano Rajoy, but in Spain he who governs wins.
The PP misinterprets its victories. It is necessary to distinguish between winning from the opposition or the Government. Winning as an opponent has been an enormously difficult task since 2014. In reality, all the main victories of the blues, as well as, for example, the regional governments maintained in 2019, have been thanks to government action, never to their opposition action . A balance was voted, with more or less punishment, and it came out favorable. Including Andalusia. Remember: the absolute majority was obtained from the machinery of the Junta, not from the opposition. The question is: Is Feijóo making a good opposition?
The third chickpea, this one with protection, but directly to the helmet, is for the coalition, the big winners of the motion. Be careful with the word ticket, tandem or couple for Yolanda Díaz and Pedro Sánchez. The framework is counterproductive. There are no white markings. They must be opposed: what is the PSOE? A left-wing party that has another left next to it. When I was little, a socialist told me that if the IU did not exist, it would have to be invented so that there would be a PSOE. What is Sum technically? A movement that overcomes the PSOE that we know is close to the people, not far. A political cloc of society as a whole, a left-wing social democracy for some or pure art, a laborism of 45 for others or disart that finally undoes the third way of Tony Blair. All thanks to the vision of a new country that achieves against the forecast the redición of the coalition government. His first mission.
It was a slip of Patxi López on Vice President Yolanda Díaz during the motion. Fortunately corrected –interesting detail– in the Session Journal the following day. Sumar's coming-out has arrived. It will be next Sunday, April 2, at Magariños, the cradle of Estudiantes and triples that the president knows very well. We have analyzed for a year and a half in numerous reports the strengths, minimum and maximum figures, as well as the possibilities of the movement. the moment has arrived
The acronym in Argentina means Simultaneous and Compulsory Open Primary (Paso). They are made by all parties left and right by law. It would be a distinctive feature of Sumar. The first primaries open to the whole of society would be something unique in Spain, beyond censuses. There is consensus that there are primaries. And the census would already be done. It would not be easy for anyone to destroy. You would have to get into a Peugeot and they could be the most participatory primaries in history. Great popular mandate.
