CATALONIA
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?
