Citizens: now what

Politics specializes in cognitive dissonances. There is the moment when Carmen Calvo explained that Sanchez had never said what Sanchez had said about the "very clear crime of rebellion" in Catalonia because Sanchez was not Sanchez then, but Sanchez. T hecticist hyperactivity forces daily operations of oral escapism ; we should, finally, be used to it. And, despite this, it continues to produce a certain psychological shock to listen to Albert Rivera in these first days after the change of strategy of Citizens and his new disposition to reach agreements with the PSOE. What does nothing was granite opposition to sanchismo, with which one could not go even around the corner, now it is nationalism and reconciliation. It crashes even more when, under the most pyrotechnic aspects of that speech, it was pointed out that the party had chosen a successful strategy. And there was an unappealable fact: Cs had achieved its best results after the PSO E veto . This would justify resisting pressure to get rid of its electoral promise. If it turns out that this strategy did not lead to success, what was the use of Numantinism?

However, the cognitive dissonance surrounding Cs is not only due to Rivera . In recent months a true argumentative mass has been formed that criticizes the oranges for the veto to Sanchez and for renouncing his presumed hinge party function. It is a fallacious argument: the role of Cs is presented as a divine commandment, as if Jehovah had ordered the serpents to slide across the ground, the birds to cross the skies and the oranges to act as a hinge. Politics, fortunately, is more contingent and mutable. Those analyzes seemed rather to harbor a desire: the return of bipartisanship. Something similar happens when the changes of Rivera bandazos and Sánchez's movement are called to occupy the center or strategy to capture voters on their left . But the fact is that this current of opinion should be in luck: Rivera has yielded to his wishes . The reactions, however, do not seem consistent with the intensity with which the change was requested. Sanchez himself received the rectification so long requested with a joke "panic works miracles." Focused on pointing out the contradiction of Cs, he does not seem to see his own. As if the Romans, before an offer of surrender of Numancia, had said "yes, man. Now".
