I woke up with a bit of a cold and took an effervescent aspirin, which dissolved in water in less than a minute. I had breakfast with the newspaper and read that the PP was considering dissolving parties that call illegal referendums. And I couldn't help but wonder who the genie in the lamp was that had this occurrence. At least, Mariano Rajoy knew that independence was a stone in the shoe, which he hoped to be able to resist thanks to plant hardness. But now it turns out that Miguel Tellado, spokesman for the PP in Congress, comes out and, with the face of a royal postman, announces the good news: they will amend the entirety of the amnesty law of the Central Government (as they recorded it in the afternoon) and include at the same time changes to the Penal Code to dissolve pro-independence parties and entities that promote illegal referendums. More or less like aspirin. Easy, right? Dead the worm, dead the poison, says the proverb.
Since the PP does not have a parliamentary majority, its amendment will delay the amnesty law, but the changes will not come into effect. But they don't seem like a good idea. They are rather nonsense. Does anyone really think that the Catalan issue can be resolved by expelling the democratic framework of JxCat, ERC, the CUP, and even the National Assembly and Òmnium Cultural? Which think tank has advised it? The question is not futile, because the proposal goes against what the conservative formation has supported in recent decades and departs from the spirit of the Constitution, which enshrines political pluralism by describing Spain as a non-militant democracy.
I know that part of politics is pure theatre. In this case of the absurd, surely to honor Franz Kafka in the year of the centenary of his death, who did not believe much in the human being to think that "all knowledge, all questions and answers are found in the dog".
In the last few hours, we have learned more about the rapprochement between the PP and JxCat after the election results. It seems a little ridiculous that they sought support from the post-convergents and now want to liquidate them all at once. Kafka, without a doubt.
