Stop voting for the first time and give up convictions? It hurts to admit it: another week like last and I don't answer. It all seemed so, so ridiculous...
And what awaits us in the next four years?
Coalition governments are a juggling act, by definition, but Spain's is Spanish: the spectators (partners) are the first who when the tightrope walker appears on the wire, without a net and at risk of breaking the chrism, far from saving silence, they compete with each other to see who boos, distracts or belittles the artist the most.
Even more difficult: Sánchez's three points of parliamentary support are three segments that compete with each other. Apparently, the more complicated things are for the Government, the more they brag. As the saying goes, Mr. President, who gets into bed with small children...
The advantage in Catalonia is that it rains on wet. Apparently, JxC has regained prominence even if it is based on giving the grade, the house's trademark method, in the absence of ideology. After years of doubting the intelligence of many Catalans - and deceiving others - with the argument that the flight of companies in 2017 was a trifle - nothing, a transfer of secretary and telephone line - , now it turns out that it matters a lot that they come back. Do they resist it? Fine and shut up! And they say they have studied in fee-paying schools and traveled?
Very curious the success of a supposed transfer of powers in immigration for the Government whose two played and in which they are not. The important thing this 2024 is to debate immigration – someone has to pay for the discouragement and bewilderment of Catalonia – a plausible fact if it were not for the electoral tuff and certain statements and arguments that recall Vox, a comparison that irritates JxC. They are right: Vox are Spanish!
Regarding immigration, President Aragonès appealed to "integrating Catalanism" in La Vanguardia yesterday. God bless him. What good memories! It's a shame that the independence movement has been burdened with Catalanism - associated with autonomy -, the integrator and the non-integrator and, incidentally, the common pride that things were done well here and not by little means.
