What has happened with Irene Montero has reminded me of Churchill’s phrase: “Some men change parties for the sake of their principles; others change their principles for the good of their parties”. Although attempts have been made to avoid statements about the exclusion of the Minister of Equality from the lists, Urtasun has finally proclaimed that Montero’s “sacrifice” has given rise to a great agreement so that Sumar can participate in the race for the 23 – J with the most favorable conditions.
Politics is a cruel and rough game; no one can relax and no one is guaranteed a chair. Political sacrifices and deaths are firewalls to prevent further misfortunes or even the split of a party. When the ship is at risk of sinking, it is necessary to let go of ballast, and the shadow of Montero with the headwinds of the controversies of this legislature is not good for the Sumar brand.
Díaz and his coalition partners have been decisive, but Unides-Podem, in agony, continues to vociferate the inclusion of Montero in his habit of evading responsibilities.
The purple party was born with the intention of eradicating personalism in politics and eliminating an armored elite that remained in power, causing necrosis in our democracy. The times point to the north but some lost the north with speeches invalidated by their own actions.
In the municipal parades, Ciutadans, dying, ended up dying in the arena. The game of politics does not understand leniency. The orange party went from almost touching the sky to sailing through the deepest hells. Inés Arrimadas knew how to say goodbye, leave politics and even openly reject “going on the lists of the Popular Party”.
Sumar needs the best strategy in order not to suffer a loss of votes in the next general elections. Few sacrifices are allied with justice, but the decision to amputate is intentional to save oneself. Irene Montero has led a necessary ministry in our country, which is a benchmark abroad, although its management has not been the most successful or intelligent.
The exclusion of Montero rubs the crossbar, but eliminating the Ministry of Equality would endanger the unstable foundations of our society.
