SALAMANCA. In his regular column in “El País”, José Ignacio Torreblanca uses a text Prussian military Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831) to compare the current political moment that is living in Spain for the second round of general elections with the art of war. Clausewitz stated that “three out of four decisive factors shown in battle are subject to uncertainty principle”; hence the concept of “fog of war”.
It is absolutely impossible to anticipate what might happen after next Sunday 26 with four games clawing at the top: Popular Party (PP), Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) We can and Citizens (C’s). We not even need to resort to the eight volumes of the work of Clausewitz’s “On War”. But while this uncertainty in which every citizen has his own theory and its own forecast live, there are other political adventures that do not need philosophical theories or ideological studies to predict its course. Even more: this was already planned for months
The Catalan president, Carles Puigdemont, just to scare the Catalan separatists when he said in the Catalan Parliament to have known that the alliance with the CUP. (Candidacy of Popular Unity) would take this path, he would never have accepted the position. After the elections last December, unable to form a government in Catalonia without having to resort to an alliance with other groups, the Junts party pel Yes decided to ask its support for the CUP, anti system a party, anti capitalist, anti-European, anti-NATO, anti-Spanish, anti … whatever you want. Their representatives in Parliament, considered the roadmap towards independence does not lead the direction and speed they want, and decided not to give their vote of approval to the regional budgets. Result: Catalonia has and has no government because no budget is just like a ship that has lost its rudder
“Junts pel Yes” is the name of the party headed by Artur Mas, Democratic Convergence Catalan that. forced to change its name to the disrepute into which it had fallen as his number one I stepped aside to let the site Puigdemont offered less resistance than he. But he is no fool. He stepped aside, but nothing more than one while still the power behind the throne.
What interest can offer this story outside Catalonia and those two forces that are struggling every day, sometimes even with violence nationalists and separatists not? What is happening here illustrates many things. The first, and always knew, is that the oil and vinegar will never join. Ie: A far-left party as the CUP and the Democratic Convergence Party (CDC) rights. The second: that while it is common, often more than desired, that politicians lie, can not bring to fruition any project based on falsehoods. The lie that the independence of Catalonia, that the greatness of the Catalan nation, were above all ideologies and differences that may face political groups, has highlighted this week and which has declared its first and main victim its own president, Artur Mas puppet. The longer this process further will being the threat of being investigated for serious acts of corruption during his government, heir to the government of Jordi Pujol, whose entire family, including wife and seven children, are in danger of going to stop jail.
the images of Puigdemont brings press the Catalan parliament session in which expressed disappointment are moving. He is a sad man, head down, frowning, faraway look. Just discovered that has been used by those who are moved more by their particular interests, their ambitions of power in the interest of its people. So, you ask, after the elections next Sunday 26, a vote of confidence of parliamentarians. Not get it, will have to go thereby causing a catastrophe over the independence process from the start, he plunged Catalonia in chaos, intolerance and uncertainty.
