On the one hand, and in order to finally close the Civil War, it could be conceived to declare Pedro Sánchez the winner of it . Even cinematic arguments would benefit from such psychological liberation. All together, finally, we could recognize each other as Europeans of the 21st century, which is not a bad condition. We could even begin to hate each other for new, less anachronistic reasons. We would think of it, there is no doubt.

If necessary, Peter the Great, traitor of liberties, protector against fascism, maker of fetish democracies - budget without compromise -, could be organized a triumphant entry with civic crown and Franco's mummy exposed as they say that those of Cleopatra and Marco Antonio were in the Triumph of Octavio - according to other sources, they were allegorical dolls. I imagine the head of plumbers of Moncloa up to the quadriga: "Pedro, remember that you are not mortal. And that you are terrific."

The bad thing is that this would not be enough because, after the war was won, the social defranchization that a certain left still believes pending will begin, as well as the challenge of the Transition that began with Zapatero and that Sánchez and Podemos now quarrel to make the real one. It would still take, therefore, a few more years, dedicated to the ucronía, to accompany us with our world and our time.

On the other hand, and beyond the propaganda benefit that Sánchez is going to get, it is significant that a parliamentary mandate, legitimized by the same court that when judging independence is a democratic guarantor, puts a certain right to the right, casts that falls into the trap of being as Sánchez loves her and tells her. If the same happens with that right as with the Peronists according to Borges -which are not bad or good but incorrigible-, unless the representation of an alleged Machadian half of Spain who today would feel personally aggrieved as a whole is not arrogated. That would be as much as admitting that there is no dynamically dissociated right in Spain from Franco and his nostalgia . That is, it would be as much as confirming that the Manichaean and Africanist reduction put into circulation on the left against which they have been protesting many people who live in the 21st century without necessarily belonging to the right side of history is true, but without carrying a Scapular of the Sacred Heart in the flap.
