THE GOVERNMENT OF SÁNCHEZ, WAS IT GOOD OR BAD FOR SPAIN?
SANCHEZ GOVERNS BECAUSE RAJOY WAS DISLIKED BY SO MANY PEOPLE
AND ONCE IT WAS CLEAR HE WOULD LOSE, HE PREFERED NOT TO RESIGN AND CALL FOR NEW ELECTIONS.
• SANCHEZ DID NOT WIN AN ELECTION, BUT HIS GOVERNMENT IS LEGITIMATE, DEMOCRATIC AND CONSTITUTIONAL (IN SPITE OF MAKING THE RIGHT PARTY ANGRY)
• PRECISELY FOR BEING WEAK, YOU CAN ONLY DO THINGS WITH CONSENSUS THAT IS, THINGS THAT NOBODY IS OPPOSING.
• IN DOING THAT HE IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN RAJOY, AND IN VERY LITTLE TIME ALMOST EVERY DAY HE PULLS A TRICK OUT OF HIS HAT WITH SOME NEW INITIATIVE IN THINGS THAT THE PP HAD FORGOTTEN OR POSTPONED FOR NOT BEING PRIORITY, A MISTAKE OF THE RIGHT
• DOING THINGS THAT ARE NOT CONTROVERSIAL, TO WHICH TPP CAN NOT OPPOSE, ONLY REFRAIN. AND THAT’S HOW IT GIVES A SENSATION OF ACTION
• CLEARLY, THE KEY ISSUES ARE NOT EVEN TOUCHED THEM. IT IS EASY TO GIVE CONCESSIONS AND TO PAY IN THE FUTURE
• IF IT LASTS TOO MUCH TIME, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC FOR SPAIN, BUT NOW ELECTIONS ARE CALLED FOR THE 28TH OF APRIL 2019
• IT SEEMS THAT THEY WILL BE VOTES LOST BY “PODEMOS” AND IN THAT SENSE, IT IS GOOD, BECAUSE A STRONGER PSOE AT THE COST OF POPULISTS OF THE EXTREME LEFT, IS WHAT SPAIN NEEDS.
• ADDITIONALLY, THE WEAKNESS AND LACK OF SELF CRITICISM OF THE PP HELPS “CIUDADANOS” TO GROW, WHICH IS ALSO GOOD FOR SPAIN.
• IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO SEE HOW THE PERSISTENT PROBLEM OF CATALONIA GOES
