The PP versus the periphery

Wilt Chamberlain still holds, 62 years later, the mark never beaten in the history of basketball: 100 points in a single game. The Warriors defeated the New York Knicks 167-147. Manuel Fraga Iribarne will continue to hold the electoral record in regional elections in Galicia with 43 seats and 52 percent of the votes. And the PP has 9 absolute majorities out of 11.

The PP emerges as a winner as the PSOE is severely defeated, but it would be wrong to point out the pacts on amnesty and the perfidious independence supporters as the causes of the socialist tragedy. Much of the socialist vote has been diverted towards the BNG, which has publicly defended the PSOE's negotiation with Junts and has also attacked “the issues that truly interest the people,” a phrase coined by Madame Camarga Sánchez Camacho.

The true Galician drama has its main stage on the left. The failure of the PSOE joins the worrying disaster of Yolanda Díaz with Sumar behind Vox, and that of Podemos, which has obtained fewer votes than Pacma.

Núñez Feijóo breathed hard last night and can puff out his chest. Díaz Ayuso must wait despite the usual media breakfasts (this morning, another one). Madrid will leave Núñez Feijóo alone, of whom Pablo Casado said one day that he was the best president that Galicia has ever had (ignoring Manuel Fraga). But who knows if Casado had a premonition.

Chamberlain, Fraga, Feijóo, but let the trees of the PP and the PSOE allow us to see the forest: Núñez Feijóo can smile, Pedro Sanchez can whistle looking the other way, but the news in Galicia is that a different Spain continues to grow strongly, young and multilingual who raises his voice asking for less Madrid and more periphery.
