Together to glory… or to the abyss, by Xavier Bru de Sala

Fork, they call it, and the image is not misguided. Junts abandons the possibilistic lane and embarks on the path of radicalism. Assuming that he does not derail, that is, that the pragmatic part of the drivers refrains from jumping off the train, en masse or one by one, the end of the road is uncertain. The supporters of the new route already imagine themselves in glory through an independence push that, this time, will consecrate them as The party, sorry, the movement, which will take the credit for having led Catalonia to effective independence. For the direct and speed as growing as unstoppable. The other sector anticipates that the alleged rise to glory will actually be a retreat to the bottom of the abyss.

We will begin to see who is right in the next municipal elections, especially in the second metropolitan area and in Barcelona itself, where we can already see how Ada Colau loses the only triumph she had left, oppose the right led by Xavier Trias, while Ernest Maragall recovers from the shock of being overshadowed by the convergent former mayor. At the moment, the success corresponds to Esquerra, which has executed as relentlessly as impeccably –that is, being cleared of guilt– the maneuvers that allow them to govern alone, having forced Junts to assume the burden of slamming the door, divided. Despite agreeing on the abandonment of the pro-independence marital home, ignoring for the most part the systematic abuse, the readings of the bifurcation by the media are as diverse as they are often erroneous. The one who is most clueless, from Madrid, of course, bets on the opening of a period of instability in Catalonia. On the contrary, gentlemen, on the contrary, with the rupture a period of instability ends and we enter into the tranquility of the PSOE-ERC mutual support, without notable shocks, which will last as long as the PSOE remains in government.

To get started, budgets by budgets and distribution of merit between the first two formations of the Parliament. Perhaps, as a tip, the presidency of the body to a non-independence deputy. The lane of well-oiled and neat order, with the image of the monocolor government for ERC. What is left for Together? The street and the harsh, cryptic and uninteresting negotiations to de facto absorb the ANC, which has always been, since it was chaired by Jordi Sànchez, a subsidiary of the convergent, neo or post, but which will now defend itself like a scalded cat belly up. Little fuel, little, for progress through an endless six or seven quarters. If it were in his hands to knock down the convoy of stability commanded by his rivals, now irreconcilable, from ERC, but not even that. Just trust that in the next regional elections, which should be scheduled for mid-2024 if the legislature is not closer to four years, the train of confrontation suddenly picks up, so suddenly and unexpectedly, such a speed that it runs over the train of order and blow ERC into a thousand splinters. Everything that is not the honey of that glory will be the gall of its abyss.
