On October 24, 1903, Francisco Silvela , spoke a few words in the Congress of Deputies that we will never listen to Pedro Sánchez : "Have charity in judging me for the only act of which I consider myself guilty: that of having taken time to declare my country that I don't serve to govern. " It is clear that, after his failure in the four investiture votes to which he has been submitted so far, Sanchez had to step aside and another socialist submitted his candidacy. But he hasn't done it.

Perhaps the acting president will get in September Iglesias dessert of fennel before him. Maybe not. After the shaking that Pablo gave to Pedro in the parliamentary debate, it will be necessary to recognize that Sanchez was right: it would be a mistake for him the presence of Iglesias in the Council of Ministers because the Podemite leader would eat the socialist raw.

Unless the improbable occurs, Casado and Rivera must prepare to face general elections next November. With the law d'Hondt in hand, if they are disjointed, they lose. If they agree on an alliance, maintaining each party their identity, they will dispute first place to the PSOE. That's how simple the political approach is when you put your feet on reality.

Both leaders have just enough time to clear all the edges of their necessary alliance. The conversations, necessarily masked until obtaining results, must begin now because the last minute precipitations are very bad advisers. The disjointed right center means, except in exceptional circumstances, defeat. The alliance of the PP and Cs, presenting a common front, can aspire to victory, despite the fact that Rajoy's political errors widened the gates for a cycle of the left.

It will not be easy to achieve nationally what was achieved in Navarra for the regional elections. But the road is drawn. Both Casado and Rivera are young politicians. They should try to plug Sanchez's victory, sung by the polls for November. "If we don't go together, they will hang us separately," Franklin told the American revolutionary groups. The leaders of the PP and Citizens should meditate on these words while the environment of Pedro Sánchez is dedicated to organizing the idolatry of his leader.
