Errejón moderate – LetrasLibres.com (subscription)

A common argument is the strategic independence. “Well, that’s not strategic,” I replied once a voter of the CUP. The question had to do to declare independence with 47% of the votes after the plebiscitary elections 27S. Artur Mas was a good politician who served as the strategy of independence. The Koiné manifesto calling for a monolingual Catalan Republic and criticizes the “ideology of bilingualism” and “linguistic colonization” of Spaniards, is invalid because it is not strategic. A deputy of Catalunya If That Is Pot called it a “tactical mistake, because it weakens the social base of the right to decide.” It is an acceptance of cynicism rather than a sign of political pragmatism. All parties thus calculated, but few explain as openly as nationalist parties.

The exception is we. The party aspires to a similar symbolic construction of separatism. Although not as explicitly allowed when a policy benefits them strategically, many of its members are analysts themselves: in stands, blogs and own programs analyze their tactics openly. Sometimes internal analyzes appear as if they were not aware that not only read them related. As political scientists, can not miss the opportunity to analyze live.

Pablo Iglesias explained in a long essay in New Left Review strategy Sorpasso the PSOE primary objective of Podemos. For years in his La Tuerka program performs a similar exercise: sometimes does not hide that their goal is to extract from his interviewees something useful for the party’s strategy (a clear case is that of Enric Juliana, the that indirectly question about what we should do to challenge the hegemony independence); Juan Carlos Monedero usually comment on the decisions of the party on his blog Public , often criticizing; Jorge Moruno, Head of party discourse, usually written on his blog at Public and ctxt on the next steps of Podemos; Inigo Errejón last wrote an essay in ctxt on the discursive strategy and party hegemony week. Along with Rafael Mayoral, Secretary for Relations with Civil Society, Moorish and Errejón are patriotic and national-popular sector can.

In a recent article, Moorish explains that the tactic we have been successful because it has been able to be flexible: “we can not a stone, we must be ductile spoon as Matrix, able to adapt to the needs and demands of the situation.” In another article, Errejón better develops this idea: “[...] build an ‘us’ soft, subdued and always open to a very heterogeneous composition and ‘them’ hard around the tiny privileged minority which has situated above the law. ” Later, he faces the classic left, “the radical policy, which aims to create another hegemony and another power bloc, is not one that stands against the consensus of his time, in a melancholy margin full challenge, but that which takes over the culture of their time. “

This attitude is perceived moderation. Errejón is moderate Podemos, which scandalized in Congress when Iglesias mentioned the “past quicklime” the PSOE. his intelligence and good gab is praised. It is speculated even vaguely, that it could change the PSOE. But moderation is tacticism: talk of quicklime does people. The tactic Errejón is cross because it is populist, not because it is moderate: when Pedro Sánchez laments that Errejón has not had a major role in the negotiations of government (because he trusts that he himself would have been possible to reach an agreement) forget his vision of democracy and politics is also away from the constitutionalist parties that Church.

in article ctxt , Errejón states that “nothing in politics it is ‘a lie’ if you build around him balance, beliefs and agreement as to generate stability for decades. ” Moruno, which calca their ideas, goes further: “there is no evil and moral good politics but bad and good ethics, their own ethics.” Or what is strategic and what is not. Errejón vision of politics is identity, patriotic, openly populist. If it is pragmatic because its ultimate goal, completely change a culture and create a new people, it is complex and can not be done in a legislature. Aims to create a “popular movement or party-movement”, a new political mystique becomes secular religion. His moderation is only strategy.
