Jorge Fernández Díaz or the unending political cynicism
Fernández Díaz is one of those worshippers of the unity of Spain, who mixes it with his religious beliefs, and who believes that to preserve it anything goes, even committing crimes. Yesterday, like all PP politicians who have declared before judges, he said that he knew nothing about it. What they know nothing about is honesty
This morning there is again a meeting between the Department of Education and the teaching unions at the headquarters of the ministry. The unions will not have to walk far to get there, because they have spent the night locked in the ministry.
This morning, Minister Niubó said that nothing has been broken in the negotiations. Both sides say that now the responsibility lies with the other, and they are right: the department has been improving its offer and the unions have mobilized teachers as never before, with a conviction born of a feeling of grievance, and de-escalating the protest and ending the claim is like braking a car going at full speed. The Government was wrong when it wanted to divide the unions and made that fiction of an agreement only with UGT and CCOO. Wanting to deactivate the education unions, it activated them even more. And so we are, about to enter June with the labor and professional conflict in schools. Another one who has activated is Pedro Sánchez. Aware that the PSOE's response to the Guardia Civil's entry into Ferraz was non-existent, he has now asked to appear in Congress, with the intention of calming his investiture partners. There is already a minister, the loose-tongued Óscar Puente, who says there is a conspiracy against the socialists here (welcome to the club). And President Salvador Illa, a trusted man of Sánchez, said he knows how to distinguish what are judicial coincidences from what are not. Welcome to the club, too. And in the PP there are already voices weighing up whether they should present a motion of no confidence, even if they don't have the votes. At least it would serve to force Junts, the PNB, Esquerra and company to vote with Sánchez or not. Finally, yesterday, this man, Jorge Fernández Díaz, declared before the judge in the Kitchen case, that of the espionage against Bárcenas through his driver, the PP treasurer who had those accounting records in which M. Rajoy appeared. And what did Fernández Díaz say? That he found out through the newspapers.
“I became aware when the information began to appear in the media. I think it was at the end of '15 and the beginning of '16, but until then I had not heard anything about it, neither from above, nor from below, nor from the right, nor from the left. Nobody spoke to me about it, nobody spoke to me about Operation Kitchen”
Fernández Díaz's political cynicism is unlimited. Perhaps he did not know exactly how much money they were paying Bárcenas' driver or how they were delivering the envelope to him, but Fernández Díaz knew everything. Due to the meticulous style he had in running the ministry and because such a serious operation, orchestrated to protect Rajoy and the party, is not carried out without the minister's knowledge. The man of “The Prosecutor's Office will fine-tune this for you”. Fernández Díaz is one of those worshippers of the unity of Spain, who mixes it with his religious beliefs, and who believes that to preserve it, anything goes, even committing crimes. Yesterday, like all PP politicians who have declared before the judges, he said that he knew nothing about it. What they know nothing about is honesty.
Good morning.
