Mariano Rajoy's articles about the World Cup on the digital El Debate are giving people something to talk about on social networks due to their obviousness and reiterations, which are still formal aspects, but one of the comments in recent hours points directly to the content with clear desire to troll the former president of the government.
From his first article, after the Spanish team thrashed Costa Rica (7-0), the phrase "Watch out! Next is Germany and Germany is Germany, the one that always won before and almost always wins today" went viral. . And in the text published yesterday, at the end of the game in which Luis Enrique's men drew a goal with the Germans, he reiterated the argument and curled the loop: "A few days ago I said that Germany is Germany and I think that Germany has given me the reason".
An argument that the MEP Carles Puigdemont has used to take the water to his mill on his Twitter account and reply in Catalan: "Me too. And against you, by the way." The former president of the Generalitat was referring to the ruling of the Schleswig-Holstein Regional Superior Court that in July 2018 rejected his delivery to Spain for the crime of rebellion for which the Supreme Court investigating judge Pablo Llarena claimed the independence leader who had left Spain at the end of October 2017 to avoid the action of the Spanish justice system.
The ruling by the German court already took place with Pedro Sánchez in Moncloa shortly after prevailing in the motion of no confidence that evicted Rajoy, but Germany had already released Puigdemont free and ruled out the crime of rebellion at the beginning of April after arresting him on the 25th. March 2018 when the former leader of the PP presided over the government.
So the chief executive maintained a diplomatic position of scrupulous respect for German justice but the PP did not hide the tension with that country. “The EU is founded on mutual trust between states. We are united because we trust each other. If there is an EU state in which trying to carry out a coup d'état is not a crime, the problem is not Spain's, the problem is that state that has allowed trying to break it may one day not be a crime", he assured the then spokesperson for the PP in the European Parliament, Esteban González Pons.
The Schleswig-Holstein ruling declared Puigdemont's extradition to Spain inadmissible for an alleged crime of rebellion, although it did declare it admissible to deliver him for embezzlement of public funds, a possibility that Llarena rejected so as not to have to prosecute the former president for a crime that would carry penalties. lower than that of their subordinates in the Catalan executive as ministers who were already in pretrial detention.
