An ordeal awaits the amnesty that must be born, if it is finally born. On the street for a while. And in institutions indefinitely. An earthquake replaces one landscape with another, only in a traumatic way. And a law of criminal oblivion, based on the arithmetical necessity of an investiture, is. So few surprises. And even less the fact that the ultra idiocy, which shares with the rest of the idiocies 99.9% of its genome, rules the night in Madrid thanks to the skill with which it controls verbal and factual violence. When one rubs the lamp of speeches, the worst fanaticism always appears next to genius, regardless of the cause.
Feijóo and his people take note of the need to draw an insurmountable line between ultra imbecility and legitimate protest against what the Spanish democratic right considers, and part of the silent left too, to be an assault. And that line, of course, is not drawn with vague and ambiguous condemnations. Nor, of course, accusing Pedro Sánchez of being to blame for everything, as Elías Bendodo, the general coordinator of the PP, said yesterday. Esperanza Aguirre cutting through the traffic in the center of Madrid is the grandmother preparing sandwiches for the clean with her face covered. Ayuso, lighter in one hand, fire extinguisher in the other, has been better at indicating the need to arrest and judge the infidels. This section is not a self-help manual, but we don't resist good advice: at Sunday's call against amnesty in all the capitals of Spain, the PP would do well to have an army of volunteers ready to fuck any clown peppered with ultra symbology out of sight. Although it is true that, since the protest is at noon, the risk that the poor-clothes short of understanding and many tattoos will take over the call is lower. At that time, the light of noon makes the coward even more cowardly. And the throats, lungs and noses of the scumbags of silliness have not yet consumed enough product to fully animalize. But let the right guard its right flank to stay on the playing field of what is normal, legitimate, and from its point of view, necessary: to be radically against something and demonstrate it democratically.
However, the main problem of the amnesty will not be the street. The future law, if it takes shape, will be seen with threats of greater consistency than, having reached this point, we already know are inevitable. The first is equivalent to what, in relation to a product, would be a factory defect. The logic of his negotiation – amnesty in exchange for investiture – is indigestible for a not inconsiderable part of Spanish society and makes the creature a swindler. If to this is added the prolongation of the negotiation of the last few days, with causes and proper names that now yes, now no, enter the tombola of their beneficiaries, the feeling of haggling and blackmail, which was already the starting point , keeps growing. The amnesty, like the pardons, should have been born from the impetus of the legislature with the new mandate already underway, even if it had previously been agreed to set it as an objective. This is the primordial stain that will prevent, unlike what happened with the pardons, a minimum of disguised indifference and laissez faire among their opponents. And without this minimal concession, what remains is half of Spain amnestying half of Catalonia. Back to halves.
The other threat responds, as in football so often, to trying to win in the offices what has not been conquered on the field. In the last decade, we have seen enough examples of how justice - a part of it, we should clarify - does not want to avoid the temptation to go beyond its limits to break what has been agreed in the political sphere. Of course, the legislature, when the ball is rolling, must also submit to legality. But there are too many occasions when judges, either out of affinity or debt of gratitude, or out of an inability to abstract themselves from the ideological servitude of their own self, have confused formal independence with a tipex and a pen. The first to erase and the second to rewrite history to their liking. Unfortunately this time will be no different.
Poorly preserved indigestible food and intolerant stomachs: the amnesty.
