That’s it. The day has come. After a whole Saturday to reflect on politics and see at the Eurovision Song Contest how complex the world has become, today it’s time for us Catalans to vote. The Catalans, who, as Rajoy discovered, do things, have been called to the polls. A casino in Tarragona is to blame for the fact that there were no budgets that would allow for improvements in health, education or social services, which led to the electoral advance. Rajoy did not complete the sentence: Catalans do strange things.
This campaign has been one of the strangest in memory, not only because one of the candidates rallied outside of Spain, but because the electoral cycle began with a threat of political resignation that turned off the country’s lights for five days. But throughout this period other unique issues have arisen, among them BBVA making a takeover bid for a Catalan bank like Sabadell, which made candidate Puigdemont say that the operation was a banking 155. The most worrying thing is that he believes it.
The Catalan campaign has been a mess, listen. (Again, I quote Don Mariano). Everyone is fighting for something: the independentists to be the majority compared to those who are not, some independentists to add more than the others, the left to see who prevails, the right to know who leads it and the independentist extreme right to try to get the upper hand. head. With so many divisions and visions of reality, it is easier to make a salad than a Government. And let alone build a country.
Another piece of evidence from these two weeks is that Puigdemont – who has denied that these elections are about personalism, although the party has included his name on the list, his photo on the ballots, his face on the banners and his character is the message – wanted to turn them into a classic. As if he were playing Barça-Madrid. His last phrase at the end of the campaign was: “Gentlemen of Madrid, get ready, because we are coming back.” The seismographs did not record any earthquake seconds later.
All the polls give Illa an advantage, but the PSC candidate is not confident. Rajoy also warned: “All this is very difficult.”
