No matter how many covers the potential photo of Begonia Gomez sitting on the bench might monopolize, it is not her, but Podemos, that is Pedro Sanchez’s biggest problem. With the Socialist Workers Party becoming more like a sect than a democratic party and taking advantage of it … Some of Judge Peinado’s unusual decisions – such as the summons on Sunday afternoon – If the president’s wife stands trial, the party will join forces with him under the narrative that his family is a victim of judicial persecution. We have already seen this in the five days of meditation. Do not expect your parliamentary partners to deviate too far from this line.
Podemos, on the other hand, made clear this week that it does not mind endangering the legislature if in doing so it can consolidate itself in the strategy it hopes to be reborn from the ashes: convincing its former voters that it is pure left, and that it is useful because it is the only one that forces the SWP to make progressive decisions.
With this rhetoric, which they have now decided to take to its extreme consequences, they obtained 3% of the vote in the last European elections, when only a few months ago they were considered dead. Since then, opinion polls have given them four seats in a potential general election in which only Madrid and Barcelona could represent them. They are no longer growing. We will see in the upcoming polls whether these four seats do not suffer from the latest contradiction between the rebellious, “anti-rich” political rhetoric that Iglesias and Montero maintain in public and the “rich” decisions they make in their personal lives: taking their two older children out of public education to move them to private education.
The first goal set by Pablo Iglesias for the revival of Podemos was to destroy Somar and, politically, Yolanda Díaz, so that the Purple Colors would be the only thing left on the left of the PSOE. The demographic projections are therefore woefully inadequate to this end, but this only serves to increase the danger of the Ioni Pillara party. If, in the face of debate about transferring immigration authority to Catalonia, they demand that large numbers of immigrants be organized to vote for them, what will be the next impossible price?
The closest chance of rising again as a pure leftist may be with future sustainability law. The purple ones demand nothing more and nothing less than abandoning the expansion of Barcelona’s airport and the port of Valencia.
However, your biggest opportunity will come with budgets, if there are any in the end. María Jesús Monteiro has not yet contacted Belara to negotiate with them because she first wants to reach an agreement with Carles Puigdemont. He thinks that this way Purple will have to agree to it. “They will not dare to drop budgets if the only votes missing are their own,” they bet on the government. But after what happened with the transfer of immigration jurisdiction, I can’t say that with such certainty.
