SPAIN : OPERATION DEEP STATE
From Rajoy to Sánchez: the operation of the State of the Spanish establishment
Ana Patricia Botín, the president of Banco Santander and a benchmark for the Ibex35 , has celebrated the appointment of Nadia Calviño as Minister of Economy. He says it is "a guarantee". Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba , who two years ago prevented Pedro Sánchez from forming a government with the same support that he has achieved now, has also praised the new Executive. Rubalcaba is first of all a "servant of the State".
Belongs to a theoretically republican party, but was the architect of
the relay at the head of the State at the right time to save the
monarchy. Rubalcaba is part of the editorial board of the newspaper El País, which has become the organ of expression of the Spanish deep state . On June 1, the editorial of this newspaper was titled "A Government unviable" and now, six days later, with another director , in this case, director, its publisher is entitled "A good cabinet."
A week ago, Spain was a country in democratic decadence and now,
suddenly, it seems that everything has become colorful, although as we
have seen, the vice president Oriol Junqueras continues in Estremera passing the mocho . What exactly has happened?
The image of Spain in Europe had been deeply degraded. The international media presented Mariano Rajoy as the president of a corrupt, incompetent and authoritarian government that was incapable of resolving the state crisis with Catalonia .
And it was creating problems in Europe by forcing the exile of
Democratic politicians that the European courts were not willing to
extradite. The change was sung. Pedro Sánchez has been placed in the right place at the right time ... when the State needed it.
Mariano Rajoy
has decided to abandon politics but did not resign as president of the
government because the issue was not to ensure the continuity of the PP government, but to save the state. The resignation of Rajoy
would have prolonged the political instability indefinitely and would
not have offered in Europe the change of image that Pedro Sánchez has achieved.
Spain has gone from having the most unfriendly government on the planet
to being governed by a council "of ministers and ministers" with a
majority of women, with an admired astronaut and a frivolous journalist
Spain has gone from having the most unfriendly government on the planet to being governed by a council " of ministers and ministers " with a majority of women, with an admired astronaut and a frivolous journalist . It seems out of The Worlds of Yupi , but Sanchez has done a casting full of intentions.
Josep Borrell
in the Foreign Ministry, as a Catalan, is the man in charge of denying
to the world the existence of a Catalan democratic cause. Even more significant is the incorporation of Fernando Grande-Marlaska
in the Interior, which ensures the continuity of the repressive
criteria of the previous government and increases the peace of the
defendants of the PP due to corruption issues. Grande-Marlaska has been a judge always promoted from the right who has not had any inconvenience in archiving the scandalous case of the Yak-42 or determining that in the Foreigners ' Detention Centers "fundamental rights are not violated ". And so significant is its appointment as the "non-appointment" of Margarita Robles
, who is a lawyer experienced in conflict management and who has been
relegated to Defensa, a fictitious ministry where everything is
technical decisions determined by NATO and by the military. It has been wanted to decorate the appointment with the control of the CNI , when everybody knows that the espionage service to whom reports finally is to the president.
There is another interesting fact of the new Spanish cabinet as is the Andalusian component . With Carmen Calvo in the vice presidency, María Jesús Montero in Hacienda and Luis Planas in Agriculture is guaranteed that, if a new financing system could be negotiated that could serve to appease the Catalan sovereignty claims, in no case will it be to the detriment of the so-called flow of solidarity from the north to the south. The own Andalusian president, Susana Diaz , already has said that "Montero and Planas are a guarantee for Andalusia ", that is a way of saying that "we send ourselves". The incorporation of the Catalan Meritxell Batet to Territorial Policy will be sold as the bet of Pedro Sánchez for the dialogue with Catalonia but it is a way of circumscribing the negotiation to a matter of statutory competences that does not interest anyone.
Certainly, now those who govern Spain are no longer nostalgic for Francoism. The European perception of Spain and the Spanish Government will not be the same, but Judge Llarena
will continue to do what he does, peaceful political leaders and
Democrats will continue in prison or in exile accused of crimes they did
not commit. Everything remembers the Lampedusian maxim, "if we want everything to continue the same, everything needs to change". And it will cost a lot more to explain everywhere that Catalonia is the victim of a repressive state. Who says that we are not facing a cosmetic and successful state operation?
