I must
say that Spanish politics have suddenly become quite interesting, funny even,
dangerous maybe.
It was
the ousted mayor of Valencia Rita Barberá who first proposed the great
coalition (tories + labor, PP + PSOE) in order to keep the "radicals"
of Podemos, the popular lists and other similar coalitions (Compromís in the
case of Valencia) from reaching power and putting upside down the post-fascist
constitutional status-quo, which at the age of 40 is already rather senile and
not just menopausic.
That
would allow her to keep her seat, her mafia network and her infamously
expensive purses.
Now her
party colleague, Esperanza Aguirre, alias Espe, former Minister of Culture
under Aznar, mocked for her ignorance, former President of Madrid region who
had to resign on a espionage scandal, former partner of Rita and others in the
plundering of people's pockets with the Bankia affair, and former and also
frustrated last-minute candidate by her oh-so-reactionary party to the post of
Mayor of Madrid, capital of the Kingdom worldwide famous for its abhorrent
fictional characters like Don Quijote, the naive romantic madman, and El
Lazarillo, the pragmatical con-man, has proposed exactly the same.
Well,
oops, I blinked and she has changed her mind already: what she has now proposed is an even greater coalition including
the popular list Ahora Madrid but without any of their programatic
proposals. In other words: well, kids, we will welcome you to the world of the
political mafia but you must renounce to everything.
