That nobody loves Carlos Mazón is a problem

There are few coincidences on either side of the editorial spectrum, but there is a common cry that unites newspapers from all sides: the immediate management of Carlos Mazón during the DANA is not supported by any side and resignation would be the most dignified way out for the president of the Generalitat. For the moment he has escaped the accusation, but the newspapers continue to give him no respite. The Country, for example, opened the front page with a sentence from the court ruling that it described as "harsh" and which said: "It was up to the regional authorities to alert the population." In this way, they kill two birds with one stone: they exonerate Pedro Sánchez and continue to put the noose around Mazón's neck even though he has avoided becoming an investigated person. Of course, he should do it. The Country It is normal and falls within what could be expected. It is even more surprising, however, that he does it The reason"The judge offers President Mazón to testify voluntarily," says one of the subtitles. And The World the group even more: "The judge rejects the four arguments of the Mazón Council's defence". Again, although the one who did the dirty work is the Minister of the Interior, the surname of the President of the Generalitat remains muddied by the headline.

There is no desire to excuse the leader of the Valencian Popular Party, his calamitous performance or the insult that his constantly changing narrative represents. However, this paper brotherhood hides a worrying symptom: in reality it is the expression of the submission of any policy of autonomous scope to the dynamics of the state. If Mazón were a politician from Madrid, his media allies would come out in droves. But as he is seen as a burden in the face of achieving victory for the PP in a general election, then they leave him abandoned at the first gas station. The steamroller of centralism sweeps everything away. Even his own.
