A victimizing country It is a country that does not want to think about its future. It’s like trying to integrate semiconductors into an old bakelite phone. Inertia or anti-politics are variations of the traffic jam. The pro-independence bloc already fell apart when JuntsxCat and ERC confronted each other, before the hostile reproaches on the unsuccessful day of September 11. When the world is in a change of times, transferring so many sterile dilemmas to the citizens of Catalonia is not proposing futures.
JuntsxCat opts for anti-politics while ERC tries to attract, at the lowest cost, the nationalist fringe that Jordi Pujol protected for decades, but weighs down his own story, from Prats de Motlló in October 1934, go to see ETA in an official car or precipitate the threat of secession, in October 2017. It is a tactic with elements of inertia and without the credibility of consensus beyond the independence bloc. It looks like a B movie trying to break into the premiere circuits. Wants repeat the ‘peix al cove’ with Pedro Sánchez postponing the repetition of the referendum, not renouncing republican independence but without activating it. The program is unclear. A PSC can intervene that has installed its tent in a land that belongs and belongs to no one, like a sanchismo bridge over troubled waters. The two strands of independence they just want to save their furniture, without proposing a plausible future. It can be a triumph of inertia.

After the ‘procés’, the instruments of classical Catalanism are already useless. The citizens of Catalonia were able to verify that when public institutions do not respect the law, the volume of risk has no limit: disorder in the street, deterioration of the autonomous parliament, public disrepute, legal uncertainty, transfer of companies, investment retraction, weakening of public pluralism, perplexity and bewilderment. Hundreds of thousands of voters do not know what to vote or if they will join the abstentionist party. still need to know what acronyms can attract non-nationalist votes, the flow of votes that Cs had, the order and conservative vote, the non-Catalanist Catalan vote, the ‘anti-procés’ vote, the vote of bilingualism versus monolingual archaism, the vote of those who felt excluded by secession and TV- 3. For this reason, it is not a mere electoral question that the post-independence ‘aggiornamento’ be endowed with credibility, if it can. The moderating power -according to the classics- is the art so difficult to master. reconcile opposing forces without identifying with either. Is there a will for consensual politics in Catalonia today? From the outset, the anti-consensus policy prevails.
inertia means do not compete, simulate, look the other way, do nothing to avoid wearing yourself out, not to speak clearly so as not to define oneself. It induces regression, because inertia ends up fossilizing those who advocate it. In the end, it damages the great dynamo that sustains stability, pluralism, prosperity, any movement that proves to be competing. It is the complete opposite of institutional life and good governance, which are required by increasingly heterogeneous and complex societies. Even in kick boxing – kick boxing – there is a referee.
