Last Saturday, November 4, the PSOE presented the agreement with Sumar to members for consideration and included a pact with other political forces in its question. This consultation was prepared as the culmination of a beautifully designed calendar, in which, literally the day before the vote, agreements with the independents were to be unveiled, which would include, in addition to the amnesty, agreements on the devolution of powers and the financing of the Generalitat. Once this is done, the militant socialists will vote, knowing the facts on the amnesty proposal, and everything will be closed so that a plenary session on the amnesty question can be called immediately.

The ERC did its job: they freed their people from economic punishment, “a fight is a fight”

This is how the scenario played out on Friday, November 3, when Puigdemont and Younts unexpectedly refused to sign the agreement and pulled out what we call in the south “poyaki” (fringe that always appears in the works”, “well since then We use and…”), casuistry of amnesties, including even corruption crimes. “And two hard-boiled eggs,” said the Marx brothers. Then for a long time and longer, so that at this moment there was no agreement, no investiture, and the poker game continued.

What is the situation with the players? On the one hand, we have CKD. On Friday they signed an agreement that includes, firstly, an amnesty, and secondly, the transfer of the Rodalies (the RENFE commuter train in Catalonia), as well as monetary compensation and a 20% reduction in the Generalitat’s debt to the state. Let’s remember that Catalonia was the most indebted community in 2022: 10,876.5 euros per inhabitant, and that debt cancellation is a fundamental issue. By agreement, The ERC did its job, they freed their people from economic punishment, “a problem is a problem” and they gained competence and economic improvements.as required by his duties while presiding over the Generalitat. game over.

Only with the departure of the ERC game ISOE And Together. The latter and unrepentant Puigdemont signaled negotiations through photographs and meetings, making it clear to everyone that they were going to reach an agreement. However, that same day, the 3rd Chico Marx and his “two hard-boiled eggs” showed up and what should have been white turned black, so the investment went back into the pile of unresolved issues.

What if Puigdemont was always bluffing and never thought about reaching any kind of agreement with the PSOE?

For some time I have been bothered by Puigdemont’s constant sly smile, and as I wrote on some other forum, I tried to carefully study the reason for this smile, but without much success in finding an explanation. Today I’ll try the nth one: What if Puigdemont was always bluffing and never thought about reaching any kind of agreement with the PSOE? What would happen if this were the case?

Currently, Junts members are the main beneficiaries of the potential amnesty law of the PSOE-ERC pact, and they are so without having signed anything with the PSOE. If the law were approved, Puigdemont could return to Spain and stand for election without agreeing anything with any Spanish party and without renouncing unilateral actions, express or implied. The pure and indomitable Puigdemont will return and utter the famous phrase of Tarradellas:Ha social is here” In this case, if Puigdemont had identified this strategy from the very beginning, his smile would have been caused by the fact that he was bluffing and everyone would believe it. AND If so, Puigdemont’s smile probably turned into laughter as he watched. CDR neo-fascists perform every night in Madrid.

PSOE with and without a boyfriend is waiting for Puigdemont to remove the theoretical daisy.

For its part, PSOE is currently single and without a boyfriend, waiting for Puigdemont to put away the theoretical daisy. Having shown absolute integrity in the negotiations and guaranteed belligerence, the PSOE laid all its cards on the table and took a political gamble by signing an agreement with the ERC. However, in the case of the Juntas, there was no reciprocation in good faith, which, when the agreement was agreed and ready to be signed, was canceled, creating a temporary situation that the right is taking advantage of to persecute the PSOE on all fronts. . Now I have the feeling that the PSOE was deceived by Younts.

Meanwhile, the right began to drift Trumpbolsonarian. He is unleashed and uses every weapon at his disposal: his judges in the General Council of the Judiciary have entered a state of collective madness and report laws that do not exist; Their contacts in the security forces expedite any legal process at the cost of errors in their reports, which subsequently render them useless; His justice star García Castellón makes up accusations against the accused; and Feijoo goes on a pilgrimage in the scent of a crowd blaming Sánchez for any disgrace that comes his way. Nevertheless, The worst thing is the irresponsibility and damage to democracy and the image of Spain that promoting these tactics entails. Borroca cabbage promoted by Vox and its accomplices, with the indirect support of the PP and, above all, Abascal’s calls for an uprising of state security forces and organs. Of course, at least something was worth it: seeing Esperanza Aguirre as a perflute, promoting the slogan “let’s surround Ferraz” and blocking traffic. “True things, friend Sancho, that the stones can tell.”

It is obvious that the situation cannot continue like this: the right confronts the police in the streets and calls for an uprising; the townspeople, bewildered by the general spectacle; and a country with a stable and viable government project, but at the expense of a political group that enjoys Spain’s instability. And the PSOE, PSC and socialist militancy cannot continue in the same spirit after being defeated.

We socialists must come out of our confusion, admit that we have been deceived and take control of the situation again.

We socialists must come out of our confusion, admit that we have been deceived and take control of the situation again. And for this, There is only one way: to immediately convene the Investiture Plenary, without waiting for an agreement with Younts.. We cannot continue this agony, we must now expose Puigdemont and his people so that they are forced to decide whether they want to vote for Pedro Sánchez and try to benefit from a possible amnesty, or vote against and risk some kind of second election in which , if the right gets the necessary deputies and Vox and Abascal enter the government, they will be persecuted to the ends of the earth to be put on trial and in prison.

It’s time to close the game and say no more. The PSOE should request a plenary meeting on investment and involve the juntas in voting. If there is a government, we will be there, and if not, we will go to the polls to ask for a sufficient majority to prevent antagonistic nationalism from continuing to hamper the Spanish government.
