Before the sentence was made public, Felipe González had already taken it upon himself to call it "garbage," "political corruption," and "barrabassada." And with all solemnity, he announced that he would not vote for the PSOE if Pedro Sánchez is the candidate, nor as long as it is led by someone who participated in the amnesty. This is the latest episode in a long-standing estrangement, which began, in fact, in the Zapatero era. His tragedy is that he cannot even approach the PP, the party to which he is undoubtedly closest today, without losing the little credit he retains and betraying his biography.
