Anyone who wants to know the real position of those who are contesting the mayoralty of Barcelona on issues of such importance as the airport or the ‘superilles’, will remain ‘in albis’. They all agree on passing the buck: they agree in essence, both to increase capacity and to reduce traffic, but they disagree on the form and, even more serious, They are incapable of presenting their own proposal or joining one that has been made known. We are blocked, and on tiptoe they go through controversial issues. Having given up trying to convince someone about the goodness of their ideas, they devote the main part of their efforts to withhold own votes and the secondary to get well in case someone else falls.
As in the two previous legislatures, these elections are not about Barcelona, its strategic position and the urgent need to compete in the global network, but about position and political profile, be it on the ideological side or on the identity side. Poor against rich, and vice versa, conformism against surrendered sovereignty, and the integrated against the resistant, if there is any of these that is still willing to vote after Xavier Trias, with the purpose of embodying the aspirations of people of order , will get rid of them with his missile aimed at sinking Laura Borràs. Yeah Ernest Maragall he falls and is so far from repeating victory that many of his people already consider him stinking, it is because Esquerra is demonstrating that He has no project for Catalonia and even less for its supposed capital, Barcelona.

Yeah Colau low is not so much because the tide against it rises, which rises, as because a good part of his people are disenchanted and share the general discouragement. Yeah Trias rises is because there are no more right-wing candidates with the possibility of doing a good job at the polls, and who knows if also, or even more so, because the better result they get, the more powerful the explosion of the XT bomb in the middle of JxCat. The smell forecast says that the ”Trias effect” is exaggerated a little or a lot, but even if it failed and reached the finish line first, be sure that it will not have the support of ERC or of course that of the Comuns .
So all eyes should be on the person Jaume Collboni, that creeps up. Even in the unlikely event of not winning and finishing second behind Trias, they will tell me if he would not prefer to be mayor with the crutches of ERC and Comuns rather than second to a convergent who has already got rid of the ex. Now, in case Collboni wins, the pools on their alliances can begin. Bipartisan with ERC? Split with Commons? Tripartite with both? Or Government alone with the external support guaranteed by ERC, on pain of staggering or falling Aragonés, and specific alliances to make variable majorities? Collboni has the infallible formula, of order, of the left and friend of the central government, so that they do not rule out that, in addition to being mayor, he becomes the sole and exclusive owner of the city.
