Island and the excessive praise for Sánchez
That Sánchez has found in Trump and Israel a cause to defend democracy and international law does not eliminate the fact that the three people who accompanied him through Spain to obtain the vote of socialist militants are or have been in prison. Or that there were times he said he would bring Puigdemont arrested to Spain. "Moral reference" is an expression with a lot of weight, President Illa, too much to apply it to Pedro Sánchez
Today, June 1, marks eight years since Sánchez has been president of the Spanish government thanks to the motion of no confidence he won against Rajoy. It was the first time a candidate reached the presidency through such a vote.Eight years later we have had the pardons, the amnesty still not completed because the Supreme Court is granting extensions, the demobilized independence movement, Commuter Rail by bus, Illa as President of the Generalitat, an unevenly distributed economic growth, the difficulty, not to say impossibility, of finding a flat, and very strained public services.Without going any further, Catalan doctors are called upon not to do any more overtime, under the eloquent slogan Not one more minute, because they don't finish the work they have and the on-call shifts have already turned days into three eight-hour shifts. Doctors want a response from the administration, like the one teachers have already received, who reached an agreement with the Department of Education this past weekend. This agreement will be submitted for a vote by teachers until Thursday. At the risk of being wrong, I believe that teachers have achieved a good part of what they were asking for, the strike has pushed teachers' pockets to the limit and families' patience, and therefore, the most logical thing would be for teachers to vote yes to an agreement reached by unions that did not settle for the first agreement signed by UGT and CCOO. The minister Niubó said this morning that a "no" would lead to the chaos of the education system. With this reality in the streets, political power continues in its own world.Sánchez, who will still take three weeks to explain himself in Congress, is betting everything on the Pope's visit, which will arrive this Saturday in Madrid, the "unity" effect of the Football World Cup, the August holidays and reaching autumn and having 2027 within reach. He himself says it: “The tricksters with their maneuvers, and we to govern until 2027 and beyond, whatever the Spanish want” “Until 2027 and beyond” sounds like it’s from the astronaut of lawfare, will not be new to them. In this analysis, we already told them weeks ago that the Spanish government not only wants to hold on until 2027, but they are also considering re-investing Sánchez.And the one who has already tied his destiny to that of Sánchez is Illa. At an event yesterday in Tarragona, he said, in Spanish so that the Spanish TV channels could broadcast it without subtitles and Sánchez would not be alone, that Sánchez was a “moral benchmark”.
“And we are a moral benchmark, yes, a moral benchmark and of dignity. President Pedro Sánchez is in the whole of Europe and the world. Moral benchmark and benchmark of dignity in the whole of the world.”
That Sánchez has found in Trump and Israel a cause to defend democracy and international law does not eliminate the fact that the three people who accompanied him through Spain to obtain the vote of the socialist militants are or have been in prison. Or that there were times when he said he would bring Puigdemont arrested to Spain. “Moral benchmark” is an expression with a lot of weight, President Illa, too much to apply to Pedro Sánchez.
Good morning.
