It is one thing to be grateful that politics is predictable and quite another that politicians do not go off script when the unexpected happens. Emmanuel Macron has been able to interpret that, who has made versatility his asceticism. And Pedro Sánchez, who has similarities with the French president, when he justified his resignation to reach an agreement with the independentists alluding to the rule of making a virtue of necessity.
The popular Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, who presides over the Junta de Andalucía, seems to be moving along the same path. While Alberto Núñez Feijóo played the role of the sad figure with the beating of Sánchez's doll in front of the socialist headquarters of Ferraz, Moreno has condemned without hesitation (or periphrasis) this unpresentable spectacle of the extreme right. Since the words are not neutral like a blue helmet, nor soft like a Dalinian watch, I reproduce them without removing a comma: “It is unacceptable, completely, that a figure of the president of all Spaniards is made and is beaten and attacked. It seems to me that it is something that we have to reject forcefully, as the majority of Democrats are doing. “I found it absolutely shameful.” End of quote.
Ambiguity was not invented by the uninformed, but by the fearful. A vote is not lost by calling things by their name, in any case it is lost when words are muted or common sense is muted. With his condemnation of the facts, Moreno has demonstrated his lack of inhibition and his self-confidence.
It is not the first time that the Andalusian president surprises us, going beyond the official line of giving fuel to the monkey. A little over a month ago we saw him signing an agreement with Vice President Teresa Ribera, for the sustainable development of the area of influence of the Doñana national park. Along the way there were serious disagreements. Nothing that is not part of the rules of the game of intelligent politics. But in the end they even photographed themselves walking through Doñana like in a cologne advertisement.
This way of doing politics is appreciated. Trench democracy is not only tense, but above all tiring. The style of the Andalusian president invites hope.
