Just 24 hours ago Miriam Nogueras He fired all his rhetorical cannons at the enemy. Pedro Sanchez in parliament. “Cynical and hypocritical,” he said, slamming the endless list of failures to follow.
Nogueras said Jantz had made an “irreversible” break with the government.
party Carles PuigdemontAs announced a week ago, he would introduce amendments to all 25 laws, veto 21 more and block the general state budget.
Just 24 hours later, with the echoes of their insult still bouncing off the ceiling of the chamber like the bullets of a 23-F coup plotter, Jantz saved the government from parliamentary defeat by a single vote. Tactical abstention in vote on nuclear power plant extension Pedro Sanchez was able to avoid a blow that could have sent him over the edge..
Seven pro-independence MPs made the difference. Of course, Mr. Jantz did not vote yes (that would be too obvious). But he withdrew, giving Sanchez what he needed.
The President of the Government got the message loud and clear: “We will stage plays and even insult you, but we will allow you to reach by 2027 without forcing an early general election.”
This contradiction is no coincidence. This is the usual pattern of the Tambourine Party, which long ago discovered that the farce of conflict is much more electorally advantageous than consistency.
It’s also much more important than respecting your constituents.
The important thing is that Janz is in free fall against Alianza Catalana and will grow during their downturn.
Therefore, Junto has to scream and threaten to break up. But that doesn’t actually have to happen. Because Sanchez depends on them as much as they depend on Sanchez..
What has been proven today beyond all reasonable doubt is that Junz is not a Spanish party, but it is the most Spanish party in Congress. For there is nothing more Spanish than hyperventilating bravado that later dissolves into an air of tactical abstention.
As for the jeans, in short: It’s not passive aggressiveness, it’s passive aggressiveness..
The logic is simple. If the current general elections are held, regional elections in Catalonia will be held immediately after. In this split scenario, where Alianza rises rapidly, PSC dominates Generalitat, and ERC competes for independent space, Junz would be devastated.
And in Madrid, a PP government with Vox would be infinitely worse for the independence movement than a Sánchez government controlled from a distance by Jantz and the ERC.
Therefore, even if it stages a dissolution, Juntz will continue to defend Sanchez’s vote by voting, but always in the most hypocritical way: abstention instead of support, silence instead of applause.
What really fuels this two-sided strategy is that Jantz is already missing something important. The pardon was granted, but the judge Jarena It refuses to apply to Petit de Monts on charges of embezzlement.
Devolution on migration was blocked by an impossible coalition of PP, Vox and Podemos.
And PSOE failures are real, documented, and unacceptable.
What remains is breadcrumbs. The formal status of the Catalan language in Europe and the recognition of laws favorable to very special interests. Catalan businessmen are understandably happy to keep their nuclear power plants powering their businesses. Because more than half of the energy needed by the Catalan economy comes from these plants, and green energy is not an option for them.
Will the Junts party, which declares to protect Catalonia, vote against the interests of its main business supporters? Abstaining was the perfect solution for them.
In reality, Junts has become a very special interest party. Pardon of Puigdemont and preservation of parliament This allows you to sell your support to the highest bidder..
And Sanchez’s silent rescue allows them to curry favor with Sanchez without appearing as an accomplice.
Sanchez knows that. And that is why he maintains the rhetoric of an “outstretched hand” and privately confesses to ministers that “virtually nothing has changed.” Jantz will remain the lifeblood of a moribund Congress until 2027. If he believes in something, it’s not because he believes in government policy. But since there are alternatives (early elections and government), Feijo) It’s even worse for them.
This is the true ending of this movie. Minority governments survive because their key allies need them to survive, even if they pretend otherwise. Congress ends not through the pressure of political forces like Junz, but with the arrival of its expiration date, but although with the theater of independence and Sánchez’s silence it seems that something is happening, in reality all that happens is the passage of time.
Chirigota continues. Janz (and Sanchez) continue to tease the Spaniard.
