Division in the Government, in feminism, to the left of the PSOE, in the independence movement, within Junts… On the road to 28-M there are more thorns than roses, no matter how much the spirit of Sant Jordi is presented as a political balm for weekend in Barcelona bringing together six ministers and Alberto Núñez Feijóo in a few meters. Today, “electoralist” is the most widely used adjective from left to right and is used for the housing law pact, the promises of the Prime Minister on rent, the PSOE-PP clamp to correct the law of only yes is yes, the exhumation of Primo de Rivera and even to qualify the clarity agreement of Pere Aragonès.

The temperature rises but the electoral call cools everything. Irene Montero lived her “saddest” day since she became a minister on Thursday with the only consolation of Ione Belarra, the equidistance of Yolanda Díaz and the face of circumstances of Pilar Llop and María Jesús Montero before the victorious applause of the ranks of the PP . In the Government they repeat, like Pasqual Maragall raised to the Dragon Khan of the tripartite, that the pedagogy of the coalition governments is lacking. With “we don’t think alike, not even those of us who live in the same house”, Félix Bolaños dispatches the fracture of the Government in El Café d’Idees by Gemma Nierga. In the minister’s legislative Excel there are 209 agreed laws and a single discrepancy, although the noise around the coalition, Sumar and Podemos is inversely proportional to that income statement.

The relationship between Moncloa and the Palau de la Generalitat has also cooled until further notice: an investiture in December? The legislature in Congress is running out with no pending duties on the government calendar, so the strategies are distanced. Aragonès did not inform Moncloa that he would make his proposal for a clarity agreement public and he did not receive any informal complaints. The Socialists limited themselves to putting all the loudspeakers in motion to dispatch the initiative without nuances. No referendum, no party tables. In a campaign with autonomous communities at stake, the PSOE has no room for territorial debate on account of the Catalan conflict, only to highlight the “courage” of Pedro Sánchez in his task as appeaser and ignore the role of necessary cooperator of ERC.

Bolaños is the man of “discreet dialogue and public agreements” with the Republicans but in the electoral contest there are no friends but opponents and ERC is in Barcelona, ​​the metropolitan area, Lleida, Tarragona… For the minister of the Catalan folder , returning to the referendum screen is “electoralist” and “unilateral”, typical of those who walk with the “clock stopped in 2017″… Even so, in Madrid they value the efforts of ERC, which leaves Carles Puigdemont as a subject pending without program Mentioning the former president ends up in a public dispute and raises the declarative decibels. If Bolaños points out that he does not know “what that man thinks” and that he must return to Spain and be accountable to the courts, Puigdemont replies with the GAL and the “quicklime”.

The future of Puigdemont continues to condition the movements of Junts The last CIS leaves the post-convergents in Congress with less than half the intention to vote than in 2019 and, in Parliament, the battle to be fought in the short term is named after Laura Borràs . The president of Junts will be the protagonist of a “self-tribute” lunch in Manresa where the interesting thing is not the number of attendees but those who are absent. Neither Jordi Turull, nor Albert Batet, nor Josep Rius… Nor Xavier Trias, nor the ex-ministers… The leadership of Junts -including Puigdemont- agreed weeks ago with Borràs on the path to follow, aware that the seat of the condemned president of Parliament has the days numbered

The Central Electoral Board marks the calendar of the post-convergents with Borràs fighting not to lose focus. Aurora Madaula’s proposal for her restitution and airing the ex-president’s alleged support for the initiative are not innocent. The pragmatists of Junts would like to resolve the future of the seat and the presidency of the Catalan Chamber before starting the 28-M campaign, contain their presence to the essential in the rallies during those weeks and, later, address their organic situation in Junts. Borràs will spread smiles today and receive roses, but the road is full of thorns.
