forty days have passed since the elections in Spain (true desert crossing the acting president, Mariano Rajoy , which aims to repeat as head of government) and, rather than clarified, the picture becomes more complicated every day. The economic crisis has become a crisis of politics, after four years of Rajoy and the PP (People’s Party) in power, with economic, employment and social policies that have precarious the labor market and have dragged millions of Spaniards to poverty, the political arena has become quicksand for some and has become solid ground for others. The two political parties were born in recent years in response to the crisis and the stench of corruption schemes CP, read You can and Citizens , are at opposite ends of political spectrum. The first, led by Pablo Iglesias , a young university professor, is called to take over the worn PSOE from the left, and the second to relieve the PP, the party emblematic of the right, touched by the poor performance of its management, by the phenomenon of generational change and that remains mired in a string of corruption that seems endless.
In fact, media coverage corrupted frames have relocated to these as primary concern of the Spaniards, and no respite for the ombudsmen of the PP, which are appearing daily in newspapers and television as defendants in any new case opened for justice. There are already 57 cases in the whole country, that is, large networks that run for public office PP municipal, regional and government of the autonomous community level have been revealed as the essence of political patronage that this party has practiced years. In these 57 cases there are hundreds of positions of the PP charged with a long list of caciquistas practices reveal how this party has never renounced its financial concept of the state.
Of the 186 deputies that the PP had in the last legislature, it has fallen to 123, ie, has lost a third of its voters. Where have they gone? There is no doubt that the main beneficiary of the internal decomposition of the PP has been Citizens, the group led by Albert Rivera , a leader of newly minted (revolutionized the electoral advertising posing naked in one of his first campaigns ). Citizens took his first steps in Catalonia over ten years ago, and in 2015 became national party. His forty Members rank it as the fourth political force.
The third force, we can, it is a political formation that germinated from 2011 to heat the movement of Indignados 15M a confluence of platforms and leftist groups, civic movements, democratic and student asamblearios who rose to protest against cuts in social spending approved first by the socialist Zapatero , and then massively Rajoy. In 2014, we can be introduced, and as a party, to their first European elections and won 10% of the seats. Since then, his rise has been unstoppable, partly supported by the disastrous policies of cuts in health and education Rajoy government, and an economic policy that has continued to destroy the social and business fabric of Spanish society and has increased the number of indignant. On the other hand, we must its ascent to ever-present principle of metal fatigue, which in this case translates to the end of the PSOE cycle, the exhausted party hegemony of the Spanish left, after forty years sharing the power with the PP has become confused with this chameleon and suspiciously. Suffering from very similar evils to his eternal political rival, the Socialist Party is now a party also split by the generational effect, with dosages of corruption and an old guard led by Felipe González , former President Socialist spokesman today the most reactionary party positions. Indeed, 30 years separate the current Secretary General Gonzalez, Pedro Sanchez , the candidate of the PSOE, which these days has rejected the proposal of the old chief Felipe form a coalition government with the PP. Sanchez faces a major dilemma. Ignoring the Council of Elders and his party agree with the PP would alienate the support of the left currents and the generation of young people who advocate the parts and that it supposedly represents. And we agree with the colorful bow out of the elections left signifcaría lose support in the party apparatus, still managed in part by its elderly. In either cases, cleavage announce a practical disappearance of the PSOE, as we know it today. Much of that party would join the ranks of citizens or be confused with them in terms of policies and solutions that defend. Furthermore likely migrate towards more leftist and related positions can and a Izquierda Unida .
It would not be very different if the PP. Corruption in its ranks drag an entire generation of figures that once shone with their own light and that also belong to the past. The profile of corrupt PP is invariably the same, a good-natured character, outspoken in its fascist purposes, sickly narcissistic to rudeness, macho, unprepared intellectually, the more often come from the business world and attracted by the money that handles policy. As the old caciques, they claim to speak the language of the people, distributed favors and gaining followers with populist, simplistic and demagogic speeches. Encyst in finance and divert public resources and who diverts water from irrigation. Charge fees for public works, they rigged contracts with companies that choose to go finger and leaving a trail of money pyramid among his people, which guarantees the “popular” support. However, for many analysts, it remains an enigma that often even tested the crimes they are accused of, these characters again be elected by their own victims, who appear to be immune to the effects of such prevarication, bribery and looting of public money. Numerous defendants, by now probably over a thousand but, under increasing pressure from the media and public opinion in general, its survival becomes more difficult in these times that require both Caesar and his wife seem virtuous.
In this scenario of troubled waters, aroused not a few fears and expectations in the rest of Europe, as happened at the time with the political and institutional crisis in Greece, the doors are closing. Unless some miraculous intervention Indeed, Sanchez no pact PSOE nor the PP can not, because they fear the immediate breakthrough effects of such decision. Predictably, neither Citizens pact with the PP because it would contradict one of its fundamental principles: the PP is synonymous a corrupt party of the old, while Citizens is pristine and appears as the young future strength. You have to keep their distance from the plague of the class. In some unforeseen way, the more corruption of the PP see the light before a possible second election, citizens will benefit most disenchanted by the PP will go to swell their ranks. The electric polarization is noted, is everywhere, and perhaps one spark, a wrong decision, it could be the catalyst for the movement of tectonic plates that would be the rearrangement of forces in conflict. Any agreed deal that seems “unnatural” to a sector of any of the signatory parties, could trigger the partition of the waters that everyone fears and no one wants to be the first to mention.
Forty days after 20D elections, civil society, held hostage by the indecision of their leaders and tired of the endless dance of the policy makers starring chairs, should prepare to vote again
