With the return of Junts to the playing field of Spanish politics, Carles Puigdemont ties to pragmatism with Oriol Junqueras to definitively close the mental framework of the 1-O. Entire sovereignty, using the scale that some have used in recent years of Junts' inquisitors to refer to the republicans, he can already be cataloged as a whole as a traitor to the cause he says he defends. It must be assumed that these united voices so pure, that for years they have pointed out as cowardly and petty any pragmatic vigilance, will end up voting against the agreement with the PSOE in the attempt to consult the referendum on militancy for the fast track that the joiners will organize to validate the pact.
Or maybe not. Because organicism and prebends change characters and ideas. If Gabriel Rufián only had to stay in Congress for 18 months, the ones required to achieve independence when ERC still claimed to believe in goblins and fairies, there is no problem with Laura Borràs continuing to preside over Junts or Aurora Madaula to continue as vice-president of the Parliament for the same party, now that her training also accepts to dedicate herself to matters of autonomy and to facilitate the governability of Spain. Even if both, just to give two examples, have to eat one after the other and without seasoning the whole string of haranguing with which they have been pointing out for so long that they are both proper and strange for tous.
They are no exception. And it's not overly embarrassing either. The mutation of opinions fits perfectly into the definition of politics – also of analytical journalism – that we propose below: the activity in which the passage of days, months and years ends up leaving all the asses in the air.
There are no exceptions. It must be added, in order not to miss the truth, that there is no misery in adjusting convictions to the principle of reality, since without this ability to avoid blushing when one faces the newspaper library 'democratic activity would be impossible. There is no better working tool in democracy than having a good liver. See if not this brief tour through the history of the government's presidency: entering NATO having promised the opposite (Felipe González), making an agreement with the nationalists after accusing them of all the evils (José María Aznar), reuniting through emergency Congress to announce the biggest cut in history denying until the day before the existence of an economic crisis (José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero), raising taxes on the first day of government after passing the campaign promising to demote them (Mariano Rajoy) or pardon first and then amnesty the leaders of the pro-independence process after actively and passively denying this possibility (Pedro Sánchez). Who lied and who simply bent more or less enthusiastically to the circumstances? Politics! And among its rules the one that determines that between saying and doing there is always the rental chair.
We live in days of big words and optimistic projections. The Crown has presented its heir with public and critical success, Pedro Sánchez believes that Catalonia is ready for total reunion, Yolanda Díaz has promised us to work less while earning the same, Puigdemont smiles sitting on the sofa under the photo of the 1 - Oh, and besides, the good weather is with us. We will not be the ones to put water in the wine. But half of the acronyms with political representation in Congress planted the future queen, pacts with sovereignty are being built on the mud of the conjuncture, we will only be able to work less for the same pay when productivity improves and the cold is near . This is not to mention the weakness of the future government that can already be seen on the horizon. To change Spain, if this was really the aim of the legislature, a little more than a frontist parliamentary majority is needed. So, watch out for expectations. In Catalonia we already have experience. We declared independence with seventy votes in favor out of a total of 135.
