The singer Lildami, who sang on Sunday at the farewell ceremonies at the Camp Nou, sang a song that says: "I fell in love with the supermarket / bid the heat to the frozen section". Something like this happens to the PP, which needs a marriage of convenience with the ultra-right to get regional and municipal governments but, after the electoral advance raised by Pedro Sánchez, Alberto Núñez Feijóo is forced to put them in the freezer so that those pacts do not wear him out . So Santiago Abascal may end up looking like a shrimp from La Sirena until July 23, even if the temperature rises in the frozen section.
The PP's strategy is clear: it is about delaying the pacts with the extreme right as much as possible, and where it is not possible, postponing the investitures. Despite the fact that the spin doctors of the formation consider that Vox is not scary, the truth is that where they have responsibilities – such as in the Government of Castilla y León – they cause continuous fires, often unnecessary. But it is that, as in the fable of the scorpion and the frog, attributed to Aesop, the scorpion cannot resist the temptation to sting the batrachian even if it carries it on its back to cross the river.
To the popular ones, the electoral advance has caught them with a changed step, as Sánchez intended, but in the last hours, Feijóo has been photographed with the territorial leaders at the gates of the Genoa headquarters, in an image that is vaguely reminiscent of Los Eliot Ness's untouchables, ready for the final battle. They have marked a certain containment while they do not refine their discourses and strategies, although Isabel Díaz Ayuso, in her condition of free verse, has not had any qualms in saying that Sánchez had called the elections treasonously, that she has set them in July to catch the clueless people and that their objective is to demobilize the personnel to see if that is how the numbers come out. Ayuso things.
What Sánchez has done is risky, but it is impeccable that, having had a bad result on Sunday, he calls general elections, in what is undoubtedly in the nature of a plebiscite. Democratically it is unquestionable. And even healthy to clarify the future.
