Those that ‘El Mundo’ described as “legal, political and media means & rdquor; From the capital, who asked that the renewal of the Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) not be agreed – and that Feijóo heard for the reform of the crime of sedition – they believe not only that they are all of Madrid, but they embody Spain. But not renewing the CGPJ did not help the centrist image of the PP leader. There is a shocked right because Sánchez, despite his mistakes, continues to have a parliamentary majority. The Government with Podemos is sometimes a catastrophe –it has been seen in the law of ‘only yes is yes’– and his allies are very heteroclite. But this Thursday he will approve his third budgets.
Feijóo did not win the Senate on Tuesday because it is impossible to win in a seven-minute question to a president who is an agile parliamentarian. But this absurd is what the irritated right demanded that he wanted it to be “relentless & rdquor; and even “bestial & rdquor ;. He seems crazy, despite the fact that the director of ‘ABC’, in a sharper article (Sunday 20), warned him that he will only win the elections in Spain if he tunes in with what he calls “the perimeter of the M-30”, that he expected a forceful response to the reduction of sedition and embezzlement. For Sánchez to set fire to the Penal Code.
Feijóo attacked by the bank tax, sedition, embezzlement, the law of ‘only yes’, Melilla and Marlaska… Too many shots in seven minutes. Perhaps less pressured and focusing only on the serious consequences of the improvised law of ‘only yes’, and on the strong divisions that had become visible in the Government between the PSOE, Yolanda Díaz and Podemos, he would have been more successful.
Feijóo disqualified the Government because that is the work of the opposition and made some case to the right that asked for blood, but contrary to what Sánchez said, he is not obeying “the right-handed& rdquor; nor burying the first message from him after being elected leader of the PP: “I have not come to insult Sánchez, but to beat him & rdquor ;. Y he ignores Ayuso, who wanted to get “the masses out & rdquor; on the street to protest sedition. He will only call events in the autonomies in which he believes that he can harm the socialist barons.
Nor did he sign up for the motion of censure as they requested –for it to fail– C’s and Vox. She knows that if he loses her (inevitable because there is no alternative majority) she would end up like Hernández Mancha. He does not have the verb of Felipe when the motion against Suárez of 1980 nor is Cuca Gamarra the Alfonso Guerra of that time.
Feijóo – yes – assured that the motion of censure will be the municipal and regional ones of 2023. I don’t know whether to make these elections a referendum against Sánchez It is convenient, but take note that the president will draw up the 2023 budget this Thursday and that – barring a major unforeseen event – it will continue in May at La Moncloa. An opposition that wants to win it is not built from anger, or desires, but scrutinizing reality well.
The regional ones will be key (not only those of Madrid) and It will not be a matter of sewing and singing. Recent surveys by ‘El Mundo’ on Valencia and Aragon indicate that Ximo Puig and Javier Lambán are resisting and could repeat. And Spain – all of Europe – is tired due to the imprint of the 2008 crisis, the great shock of the covid to daily life, and now the war in Ukraine, restricted heating and the fear of a recession of unknown intensity and duration.

In this framework, raise the tension It will not serve to gain the trust of the majority, although perhaps of ill-tempered minorities. Neither the PSOE nor the PP should go down that path that only gives votes to Vox. And maybe to Podemos. Feijóo said that the Government is on fire and the truth is that citizens do not want a country on fire. The economy and the CPI will count for more than sedition, but that does not call for catastrophizing (nor is Calviño’s triumphalism) because at this moment, as José Ramón Iturriaga has written in ‘ABC’, “economic forecasts are a line in the water& rdquor; .
Feijóo’s assignment will be to convince that a calm right that generates confidence can win in Spain without first being riddled by the heart of the M-30. Feijóo is only halfway up the hill. And also –unlike when Aznar or Rajoy–, Vox also exists.
