Feijóo got away with it and he dragged Sánchez to the Senate for a face-to-face debate. One more step to become as a plausible alternative. First, for yours. And in addition, with the adversaries. What has Feijóo done to silence Vox without saying the same as Vox? ignore them. Apparently, yesterday was a success for the applicant. But less than he would have needed. The ring was very favorable to Sánchez, or to whoever held the presidency of the Government. Fifteen minutes of the applicant against the unlimited time of the holder. The battery of zascas lasted fifty minutes. No more no less. An arsenal for the Moncloa clappers to make headlines right and left. More based on the strategy than on the topic of debate. But deep down, a lot of nerves.

If Feijóo were as insolvent as the president intends to demonstrate, it would not be necessary to dedicate so much time and effort to him. If Sánchez’s measures were so ill-advised, it would not be necessary to claim responsibility for him. The paradox of the matter is that on Friday, the energy policy of the EU, and therefore of Spain, will change due to a pact between Sánchez’s partners and Feijóo’s partners in Brussels. So that, agreeing in the background, you have to take care to distinguish yourself in the forms. And that’s when one and the other resort to demagoguery. And at this point, Sánchez had more time than Feijóo. And he used it. Skinny favor.
There is so much uncertainty that it is not easy to dismantle so much exaggeration. By denying rationing, they end up talking about rationing. By encouraging restrictions, they end up talking about restrictions. Again Lakoff’s elephant on stage. From the Government the situation is exaggerated to value the response. From the opposition that mental framework is bought to anticipate the disaster and turn it into a prelude to the change of cycle. Both arguments produce perplexity if not hilarity in a population that too often does not know what to think. Wait for some guiding word between so much shouting. This type of dialectic between government and opposition encourages populism. We are going to see it in Italy. We have seen it in some cities. Sánchez and Feijóo came out convinced of winning but their disagreement still caused them both to lose.
