Saying things by their name

It is one thing to appreciate that politics is predictable and quite another for politicians not to go off script when the unexpected happens. This has been interpreted by Emmanuel Macron, who has made versatility his asceticism. And Pedro Sánchez, who has similarities with the French president, when he justified his resignations to agree with the pro-independence parties alluding to the rule of making necessity a virtue.

The popular Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, who presides over the Junta d'Andalusia, seems to be taking 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 in Ferraz, Moreno condemned without lukewarmness (or paraphrase) this unpresentable spectacle of the ultra-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 completely unacceptable that a figure of the president of all Spaniards is made and is beaten and assaulted It seems to me that this is something that we should strongly reject, as most of the Democrats are doing. I found it absolutely shameful." End of appointment

Ambiguity was not invented by the uninformed, but by the fearful. You don't lose a vote to say things by their name, in any case you get lost when you mute words or gag common sense. Moreno has shown his disinhibition and confidence in himself by condemning the events.

It is not the first time that the Andalusian president has surprised us, leaving the official line of giving cane. Just over a month ago, we saw him sign an agreement with Vice President Teresa Ribera, for the sustainable development of the area of ​​influence of the Doñana National Park. There were serious discrepancies along the way. Nothing that is not part of the rules of the game of smart politics. But in the end they were even photographed walking around Doñana like in a camp advertisement.

This way of doing politics is appreciated. Democracy in the trenches is not only tense, but above all tiring. The style of the Andalusian president invites hope
