I was fortunate to be in Barcelona at the rally closing campaign Unidos Podemos, the center-left coalition ahead of the presidential elections on June 26.
On a stage in front of Triumphal arch just across the street Lluis Companys, the mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, presided over the ceremony which prevailed republican flags. Starting with her, all bordering or are under forty years, and as the Colau is the ultimate expression in politics, outraged, who were born in the social economic, political and a Spain Busted by the irresponsible management and corruption that put the brink of collapse, in a situation comparable to that of the Greek bailout. Ada Colau, a lawyer for 42 years, became a leading social side of those affected by real estate mortgages, which prevented resistant thousands of Catalans, drowned by debt, losing their homes.
The Colau as everyone in the stands, breaks stereotypes and clichés of female politicians; solid as a tank that makes no concessions and to the point without rhetoric or demagoguery. Like the young leader Monica Oltra, who managed to carry out Valencians twenty years of control of the Popular Party that led to the disaster. They were there, of course, as main course leaders of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias and Inigo Errejón, two economists with no previous experience in politics, they have managed to bring this force, in just three years, to compete with the big and be an essential Variable to form a government.
the cry against corruption and abuses of the financial sector resound in Spain as well as the debate on social reform and the necessary attention to the hardest hit, young and old impoverished in the crisis he enriched a handful. Independent of the content of these policy proposals impacting Nobel Laureates what is the mood, the tone, the vehemence and above all the conviction. A conviction that energizes and connects with people. A conviction that revitalizes politics.
It was inevitable set to ride the time machine and remember those days of Felipe vigorous and hopeful, full of strength González, premiering democracy in the early 80s buried with his Sevillian grace the ancient Franco regime kicked in agony. It was a time of hope. Many of those who believed in him and the Socialist Workers Party can accompany the cause of bringing the Psoe will become the third political force in Spain. And they deserve it.
Its historic leader, Felipe González, now part of the old political establishment debased. His decadent physical and lust not betray: he sacrificed the ideals for silver, for the millions of Carlos Slim, whom adviser without pudor- and became like Tony Blair and Bill Clinton in deadly pincer champion of political and business, sophisticated white-collar corruption armored magnifier justice, that has staved the world.
a fresh traces the Spanish policy and not just Unidos Podemos coalition. An air of change contrasts with the desangelado scenario that Colombians are facing, stained obtuse personalismos at a propitious moment for hope.
