The hilarious rescue of a bewildered Feijóo
As Trump makes his imperialist ambitions increasingly evident, establishing himself on social media as the undisputed ruler of the Western Hemisphere, the enthusiasm of those who cheered him after the kidnapping of dictator Maduro is cooling. One of those left with a frozen expression of astonishment is the leader of the People's Party (PP), Alberto Núñez Feijóo. In the initial hours, he seemed overjoyed and rushed to declare that he celebrated the capture of the Venezuelan president "without reservation." Now that Colombia and even Greenland are in the Cowboy Cap's sights, the euphoria is much more subdued. This is reflected in the press, with its broad arc of coverage, starting from the headline...The Country"The exclusion of María Corina Machado throws the PP off balance after supporting Trump" – even the title of the editorial The reason, always a faithful squire, appeared just the next day and is titled "Impeccable position of the PP against Trump." The Planeta newspaper is now trying to sell as outright opposition what just a few hours before was pure flattery and adulation.
The text of The reason It was hilarious, because he made spectacular detours to avoid having to remind everyone that this same steadfast Feijóo, who stands up to the world's ruler just a day before, was applauding this flagrant violation of international law. The Popular Party leader was still supporting a coup d'état—however reprehensible the deposed president may be—and now he's backtracking not because he's had a sudden epiphany about the consequences of legitimizing these outrages, but because he realizes, somewhat later than everyone else, that Trump didn't intend to restore, oh surprise, the "surprise" to whomever he wanted. But it doesn't matter: there will always be an editorial from The reason with the successful completion almost complete. And reminding him that "Hey, you're doing great." And the important thing is to participate.
