The incompatibility between the PP and the PSOE, the two great parties between which a minimum understanding would be necessary, is not a thing of today. But in recent times this fracture has been widening and deepening. The PP has fallen prisoner of Vox in many autonomous communities and the PSOE only trusts the possibility of governing Spain to a complicated pact with five nationalist parties, among them – even more difficult – that of Puigdemont. The PP accuses Sánchez’s PSOE (the existing one) of having ceased to be constitutional and the socialists reply that the PP is not a state party.
Who is guilty? Both are to blame, but the PSOE, against Sánchez and the PSC, allowed Rajoy’s investiture in 2016 and the PSOE, with Sánchez returned to the general secretary and the PSC, supported Rajoy in 2017 when the approval of 155 by the unilateral declaration of independence of Catalonia.
But Every day the fractures in Spain become more. On Tuesday, in the violent demonstrations in front of the PSOE headquarters – organized by Vox but which follow Aznar’s call for general mobilization against the amnesty – posters appeared as worrying as “The Constitution destroys the nation” and “Philip, mason, defend your nation”. They are minority cries, but Puigdemont He answered this Wednesday, in the midst of negotiations with the PSOE for the investiture: “After what has happened in Madrid, how long will the King take with his message ordering ‘get them’, or is he with them?” An absurd reaction but due to the events of 2017 that should be overcome.
The fractures progress. AND part of the judicial power seems to encourage her. The conservative majority of the CGPJ has said that the amnesty law would mean the beginning of the end of democracy. A statement that, a sign of sanity, has been rejected by the president of the CGPJ himself, the conservative Vicente Guilarte, because you cannot judge a law that is neither known nor still exists. More indicative is that the judge of the National Court García-Castellón has decided to prosecute for terrorism, four years after the actions of Democratic Tsunamito Puigdemont and Marta Rovira. Right now? And it is the same judge against whose decision not to prosecute the PP as a beneficiary of the Kitchen operation, Jorge Fernández Díaz himself, Rajoy’s Minister of the Interior, has appealed. For García-Castellón, who accuses Puigdemont of terrorism, the Kitchen’s responsibility ends with Fernández Díaz and does not affect either the PP or his general secretary. Dolores de Cospedal. Here it does not pull by elevation.
And the PP is in a difficult situation. On the one hand, he has condemned – more Ayuso than Feijóo – the violence of the demonstrations against the PSOE, but Esperanza Aguirre was in the front row last week and Aznar in his call for mobilization said: “Whoever can make it happen, the “that can contribute that contribute.” AND Despite this very rarefied climate, Sunday demonstrations are maintained in all Spanish capitals. Feijóo does not err on the side of caution.
The pact for Sánchez’s investiture is delayed while Judge García-Castellón accuses Puigdemont and Rovira for the actions of Tsunami Democràtic four years ago
Neither does Sánchez, immersed in a very complicated investiture negotiation. Last week he sent his organizational secretary, Santos Cerdan, to a “friendly” meeting with Puigdemont that implied that the agreement was a fact and that there would be an investiture this week. But now it turns out that there are “technical details” and that the investiture is delayed, for now, another week. How could Sánchez believe that Puigdemont would sign the same day as Junqueras? Didn’t you consult the PSC, which knows about the enmity between the two independence leaders? Why the photo of the peace pipe before the agreements? He has not been as reckless as Yolanda Díaz, who already did it at the beginning of September, but what happened with Cerdán has served to remind us that he could die trying.

Of course you should negotiate with Puigdemont – even Feijóo tried it – but not sell the bear’s skin before hunting it. Then the attacks from half of political Spain (172 deputies) are triggered, who have the right to neither approve the amnesty nor to repeat him as president.
Incompatibility and fractures advance day by day when global geopolitics (and the economy) would make minimal consensus very necessary. But unfortunately it is what it is.
