We know how and when the parliamentary course has started, but we don't know how and when it will end. We ignore the Spaniards and those who sit in the seats are also unaware. Despite the uncertainty - vital for them and them, because if there are elections it is possible that some will not sit back in the Hemicycle -, the parliamentarians were released with courage and vigor. With desire for revelry, debate and dialectical confrontation. With much applause to the brand new spokespersons. Maybe looking forward to an election campaign? Perhaps. Because the impetuous plenary session on the government's action in the Open Arms crisis was about the Open Arms and immigration only at times. A few moments.

The minds of the parliamentarians had broken from the body. The body was in the Hemicycle attending the appearance of the Vice President of the Government. The mind was in the general elections, in the hypothesis of a last-minute agreement PSOE-Unidos Podemos. A dense cloud has been installed on the Hemicycle that reveals in the distance the increasingly visible possibility of an electoral repetition. That is why the speeches were placed directly in the field of the electoral campaign. Pure and hard. Without dissimulation. Continuous and permanent campaign for how long? Everyone who puts here the date that best suits him.

According to the agenda, the main protagonist of the session was Carmen Calvo . A misleading fact because the vice president went through the gallery discreetly and without making much noise. Plenary attention was focused on other things. Two spokesmen -of PP and Cs- that were released, a socialist spokesman who fought with his partners at arm's length - perhaps we should dispense with the word "preferential" -, a spokeswoman for United We who complained about the socialist contempt, a leader of Vox that relieved all the topics of the networks against immigrants ... The reappearance of Albert Rivera , much awaited by the public, did not respond to the expectations awakened by a month of quiet absence. He returned to work, but in silence. He did not want to reduce the role of Inés Arrimadas in his parliamentary premiere.

The question everyone was asking today was not related to the immigration crisis, but to what will happen to us. We are the elected parliamentarians on April 28. Will there be government? The answer could be in the wind, since there are still more than three weeks left on September 23. But if the interventions, declarations, duplexes, canutazos and conversations of patio or cafeteria of the socialist leaders are heard, there is no doubt. The PSOE is sincere, without much concealment. He doesn't want to know anything about Pablo Iglesias or United We Can. In such circumstances, as said in La Moncloa, an agreement of Pedro Sánchez with Pablo Iglesias would be like a marriage without courtship. Rafael Simancas and Carmen Calvo went today to the seats of United We can with the face of not wanting to marry them.

On the other side of the Hemicycle the dream of Spain Suma was also not very animated for a hypothetical link. Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo premiered as a spokesperson for the Popular Group with momentum, fierceness and high level. He took advantage of the Open Arms episode to leave the air of the cultural war against the left on the rostrum, goodism , the collectivization of immigrants or women, hypocritical sensibility and the lack of respect of the Government for immigrants as free individuals . He did not miss the opportunity to give the media several impact holders on what PP and Citizens have called "sanchismo."

Surprising was the criticism that Santiago Abascal made to the speech of the spokeswoman of the PP: «Dictatorship progre in cayetanista version». It could be said that both Álvarez de Toledo and Abascal fight the so-called identity politics of the left. But while the spokeswoman does it with the books of intellectuals like Peterson or Pinker , the Vox leader exhausts all the arguments of Forocoches . With a good tone, yes.

Inés Arrimadas was released as a spokesperson for Citizens. He did it with correction, without the glowing rays against the immigration of some of his party mates. To point out, Marcos de Quinto , whose ears rang in the seat. She also posted the messages against the Catalan nationalists and independentists in a plenary session on the EU immigration crisis.
