Laziness is worse than a lack of talent, and in the case of the president of Madrid, it's unclear which of the two is her greatest virtue. The fact is that for one reason, another, or both, coupled with her shamelessness, the president of the Community of Madrid has begun to lose ground within the PP.
Her time in Barcelona has made it clear that she will never be Feijóo's replacement when it comes. It won't be because of the lack of political intelligence in her arguments within the PP. Ayuso has never been one for restraint, but her arguments against Catalan, Basque, and Galician are so lazy that they are unexportable beyond Callejón del Gato. According to the Madrid president, using a language other than Spanish is to make people believe that "we are a plurinational state that we are not." "They want to make us feel like foreigners in our country," she said as she left. Apart from the mental limitation and bad faith that she demonstrates, Ayuso forgets that the territorial power of the PP is not in Genoa and that her colleagues do daily balancing acts in Galicia or Valencia and the Balearic Islands, where they speak Catalan and demand it – while agreeing with Vox on measures to leave them unprotected – in exchange for surviving.
Ayuso blew up the strategy of the PSOE, but also that of the PP, which wanted the headlines to be the request for elections by the men and not the evidence of the unitary, homogenizing, and provincial model of the Spanish right. The supposed defenders of the Constitution are its main enemies.
The Pedralbes Conference of Presidents was a grand stage set for all attendees, each with their own interests and all with a very short-term vision. The PP and PSOE only aspire to clash with each other with baton blows until the next elections become yellow. Elections that will actually be decided by the results obtained by the fragmentation of parties to the left of the PSOE and the far right of the PP with Vox. They will be the ones who decide who can form a government. In the meantime, be patient with the brawl animated by theinfoshow Madrid native.
The Barcelona meeting was a drama for everyone. The PSOE wanted the regional governments to form up militarily, utilizing the presence of the king, before the PP demonstration against the socialist "mafia." To the cries against Sánchez, they can always contrast the photograph of the men popular in Barcelona with the boss of the boss. Objective achieved.
The PP made it clear it would boycott the meeting when it added a long list of issues to be discussed in an impossible timeframe and without any prior work. In fact, it matters little, because if the PSOE had wanted agreements, they would have worked seriously bilaterally, which is the only way to overcome Feijóo's boycott and think about the citizens.
A favor to Salvador Illa
President Salvador Illa wanted to send the message that the Process is history and that "normality" has returned to a Catalonia that is much calmer than Madrid. Salvador Illa's popularity for Sánchez's succession is rising with a peripheral candidate who still believes Spain can be federalized. She is more eccentric, and it would be advisable for her to lower the temperature that has risen through insults and stirring up the most primitive passions, but she cannot be counted on. She needs style to lose her temper. She demands irony and intelligence to disarm her adversaries, as well as serenity.
