Although there is no more blind than he who does not want to see, and the acting government or not observes or is unable to interpret the economic reality , the symptoms of deceleration are worrying. In an uncertain international context, with a trade war between the US and China that is already affecting the stock markets around the world, and with data as disturbing as the one of the biggest drop in industrial production in Germany in a decade , our country also He has started to catch a cold. And, in this scenario, political instability , misgovernment and indefinite uncertainty pose a burden that we will end up paying dearly. In Spain, industrial production has also suffered a decrease of 1.8% compared to the same month last year , unfortunately recovering the downward trend of this 2019. Or it is assumed at once that State pacts between different forces are essential to develop the reforms that our economy needs, or things are going to end up getting seriously complicated.

If contacts with social agents of Sanchez were not largely a hobby to make the partridge dizzy while still gaining time, it is not well known for what purpose, this radiography of the situation should have been yesterday the axis of the meeting with the leaders of the main unions and employers. Because meeting with Unai Sordo , of CCOO, and José Álvarez , of UGT, with the hope that they help the acting president to put pressure on Podemos for a Portuguese Executive, it is of little use to the general interests when, as The Ugetist leader himself admitted at a press conference, "a strong government" capable of undertaking reforms is needed. And many of those that our system needs are not precisely those advocated by the two centrals mentioned, nor could a weak Executive held by a heterogeneous amalgam of independentistas and heirs of ETA, among others. With the results of the polls, only a pact between constitutionalist forces would have sufficient support to face a reformist agenda articulated around some basic state agreements.

For starters, and before the string of slowdown symptoms - there are also the disappointing data of last week's unemployment , the sharp fall in a sector as strategic as the automobile or the collapse of the sale of flats -, to favor the activity Economic urges without going further shock measures to reduce the high energy bill . Spanish companies are very competitive because they pay the most expensive electricity in Europe - in Germany it is 50% cheaper and in France, 40%, for two examples. It is this kind of real urgencies in Spain that the next Government must face, although some believe that this is only about acronyms and armchairs.
