I would like it if all the institutions and political parties in Spain, as well as the stalwarts of the process in Catalonia, would have amended their mistakes –in word and, above all, in deed– as the Royal House has done under the reign of Felipe VI , with the disproportionate tip of the de facto banishment of his predecessor and father.
If that had been the case, I assume that the PP and PSOE would now be negotiating that great State pact that would avoid the instability that is coming our way.
If so, the electoral losers would display a certain modesty and make sincere self-criticism, not that kind of looking good that consists of saying “we have made self-criticism” and then repeating that they are not going to move an inch.
And if so, someone in command in Catalonia would have already come out to apologize for the confrontation that led more than half of the Catalans to delude –deceive– the rest.
In Twitter times, if one wants to destroy a country – quite resistant, by the way – the normal thing is to point to its symbols and this has been done here, with a broad brush, with the head of state – which has a constitutional monarch, as in the United Kingdom, Belgium or Japan– and the judiciary. These demagogies always work.
The independentism-Podemos clamp (today Add, tomorrow who knows) has been primed in the monarchy due to the last errors of Juan Carlos I, symbol of the successful democratic transition. Huge errors, typical of times that we believe are outdated in terms of commissions (we will see over time). We Catalans know a lot about this…
The budget of the Royal House is modest, transparency is total and the dedication to the position of Felipe VI, absolute. Sneaks, zero. Obligations, all The punishment of Juan Carlos I is an example, which the former faithful voters of Pujol will surely appreciate. And speaking of Catalonia, you may like Felipe VI well or badly, but this about the “king of going for them”… They do not remember that in their call to respect the Constitution and the law of October 3, 2017, they mentioned the forces of security. And even less congratulate them…
