Just concluded election day in Spain when the candidate of the PSOE, Pedro Sanchez, appeared before the media to assess the outcome of the polls. For the Socialist leader, the numbers of his party had made history. And it may be thought that Sanchez was right: the collapse of the PSOE was of historic importance. Since that now distant December 20 until today, the Socialist seems to have persevered in the calling to give an object of study historiography. Not surprisingly, it is the first candidate presented to a presidential inauguration without winning the elections, and is also the first candidate who fails in this investiture. These are not things that in the double parliamentary round this week, has ceased to remind, with hurtful word, the acting president, Mariano Rajoy.
The own sessions in the Congress of Deputies themselves are worth spending at least a little history of the Spanish Cortes. There were speeches of great packaging and powerful invective to the delight of observers of politics. Beyond that, however, oratorical brilliance, the score has barely budged. The PSOE and unexpected partner centrist Citizens have fallen short of the absolute majority: only 130 have achieved the required 176 support. His covenant, therefore, has been so grandly in the symbolic as ineffective in the practical. And the failure of both forces closes one door and opens another in the troubled Spanish institutions in recent weeks. From now on, within two months in which, again, Felipe VI call political forces and political forces negotiate opens again. The outlook is bleak: it is unlikely that anyone add enough support to form government. And therefore, it is also unlikely that anyone responsible monarch training. So, who can wonder that parties anden already preparing the campaign for new elections?
Nothing has moved, we said, in Spanish politics. And yet, there are significant tactical positions. In discussions of the investiture of Sanchez, we -simpatizantes the chavismo- dynamited their rhetoric violence any possibility of agreement with the PSOE, and it should be recalled that only the sum of PSOE and we achieved a government guarantee for the Socialists. Citizens, meanwhile, seems to have exorcised indefinitely with the PSOE, much to the amazement of a large electorate disenchanted right. As for President Rajoy not stopped feeling compensation and relief to disqualify Sanchez and citizens, but should now start negotiating with them and negotiations are worse than uncertain: Sanchez does not want to sit with the People’s Party; Citizens calls for the replacement of Rajoy to forge understanding. Meanwhile, we can only smiles. At the end of the day, they have until early May to discuss the polls, adding further strength from its ideological spectrum and, if necessary, to force new elections. That would mean the loss of hegemony of the PSOE in the Spanish left. And that itself would make history.
Beyond the tactical positions, there are also powerful undercurrents which must be balanced to take over the current time in Spain. Not a few have been surprised by a fact: how is it possible that, after the elections, no one has asked awaited, much-desired grand coalition between left and right, between the PSOE and the PP? It is not a conspiracy theory claim that the financial elites is so afraid of Podemos as distrustful of Rajoy. We can think of that would ruin; Rajoy accused of contempt independence-for him, for them haughtily that he has shown towards their interests. And both believe that the solution to slow We like to end Rajoy passes propel Sanchez and Citizens. The democratic mandate remains in -a slight thoughtlessness times remember that the PP won the elections Rajoy is something that does not seem to worry too much.
Interestingly, Rajoy belongs to that profile politician, always despised, he has always ended up winning out. There are many enemies who took the lead in -finally- be despeñados while the current president went on his way. Maybe this time it is more serious, perhaps for the first time give in to pressure. Or maybe not endure the hard rain of corruption in his party. Or, more likely, perhaps Sanchez and Citizens demand their march to give their support to the PP. In any case, no one should give you at amortized yet. When, back in the French Grand Siecle, playwright Corneille writes about the dead who are in good health, he seemed to be thinking in this tough and rugged Galician surnamed Rajoy Brey. There remain many hours of dancing in Spain yet.
