Protect yourself in the trench

Saint Ignatius advised not to move in times of tribulation, which is a way of warning that, when the situation is troubled, it is better not to move. That is what it seems that Vice President Yolanda Díaz has decided to do in the face of the political storm that is hitting the socialists, with a PP unleashed against the amnesty and corruption due to the Koldo case.

Surely, more than the founder of the Society of Jesus, she listens to Paul Auster, who in his latest novel, Baumgartner, also recommends not rushing. Its protagonist leaves the aluminum pot on the fire after making the soft-boiled eggs for breakfast and, without thinking twice, that is, without bothering to look for a mitt or kitchen cloth, he removes it from the stove and burns his hand. , which causes a sudden roar that is confused with his howl of pain. That said, when a fire breaks out, no matter how small, you must first take a deep breath and then think about how to act so that the disaster does not become greater.

Yolanda Díaz has quite a challenge ahead of her: she has come out badly in the Galician elections; With the mess of the masks she did not want to put the PSOE in trouble; She has been sidelined by the socialists, who have dedicated themselves to finding a way out of the amnesty text with the independentists and has been ignored by the PP in the control sessions of Congress, because their hunting target is the President of the Government.

With a scenario like this, the easiest thing is to burn yourself with the handle of the saucepan in the fire, but the vice president has had two ideas in recent days to, at least, get her head back: she has announced a trip to Palestine and an initiative for Bars and restaurants close earlier. Neither of the two occurrences has gone unnoticed, although neither Spanish diplomacy nor the restaurant sector have applauded it.

In the CIS polls, Yolanda Díaz became the most valued leader, above Pedro Sánchez, but the surprise was short-lived. Her Sumar project has been left halfway and her influence in the Government seems minor. But let no one doubt that he will continue to wage war, even though he has now decided to protect himself in the trenches.
