The governability of Spain – it’s a saying – may depend on Carles Puigdemont, king of cider and demands, to whom the Spanish – I feel sorry for him – have given him another opportunity to go down in history or shoot himself in the foot, a hobby of his. In the case of facilitating the investiture of Pedro Sánchez, we would be facing the favorite candidate for the title of “Spaniard of the Year”.
At first glance, independence is far, very far, from being able to arrogate to itself the feeling of Catalonia, something that the PSC of the triple can say. It’s talking for the sake of talking, clearly, because even if they don’t get 30% of the vote, the pro-independence forces always have the fact that 80% of Catalans are in favor of a referendum on independence (and 99% of the three-month paid vacation).
The years pass, the polls speak, but the myth of 80% of Catalans in favor of a referendum still persists, arising from I don’t know which survey, this discredited method of listening to public opinion (and making it say what you want: the wording of the questions is enough).
One imagines that JxCat will be faithful to his soul and to the work of his leader; so before we will have other elections than a president of the government willing to give him satisfaction. According to another mantra, the two major Spanish parties must offer the moon to independence to solve… solve what? By the same rule of three, PP and PSOE could complain that there is no interlocutor for independence and that it does not know what it wants – beyond the systematic complaint – even if it does not want it by DHL or ordinary postal mail.
Today all of Spain is watching Carles Puigdemont, who will surely demand more than his strength allows him to aspire to. And so the time passes, the years pass and the nostalgia for the historical days that will not return is cured. Meanwhile, Catalonia votes PSC for something: the majority of citizens are fed up with the sacramental and want to live peacefully in this land of taxes.
A singular dilemma what the Spaniards have been through with Puigdemont, proof of their esteem: either Waterloo or Spaniard of the year. Meanwhile, Catalans vote, more and more, to live in peace.
