If the founders of the EU had had the same vision of solidarity that rich communities slide over the poor, Spain would continue to be today that country in which the Middle Ages fight against the spirit of the Renaissance, in the words of Azorín , and Not the fourth economy of the euro. The battery of tax rebates sponsored by Díaz Ayuso can serve the spearhead PP against Sanchez . However, ultimately, it will operate as a devertebration factor.

Regional inequality reveals the obsolescence of a system of political organization whose reform should not be limited only to the financing model. The State of Autonomies has allowed broadening educational, health and social welfare coverage during the last four decades. But it has proved useless in stopping the abandonment of 53% of the national territory . Fiscal policy, together with the design of infrastructure, is one of the vault keys that explains the open hole in social cohesion. Rajoy paid the PNV until the arrangement of the Concha railing, Catalonia encourages a rebellion against Sánchez and Madrid is allowed the luxury of announcing a tax cut valued at 300 million euros . Meanwhile, in Extremadura the trains derail, in the Valencian Community there are still schools-barracks and the two Castillas do not have the resources to fix their roads. According to the INE, most of the autonomies that in 2000 had a GDP per capita below the average are today even lower in the ranking. This affects mainly to the south, but the lack of convergence extends throughout the country. The more tax bonuses in Meco and Parla, the less companies in Azuqueca and Illescas. The more Basque tax concert , the less employment in Burgos and Torrelavega. The more Navarre forality , the less industry in La Rioja. To more connections from the north with Tarragona, fewer trains to Teruel. A more Mediterranean Corridor on the coast, less Autovía del Duero. And all justified under the same parameters of costs, population and profitability that have sunk Spain emptied . Our country frays and not all the fault is that of peripheral separatisms.
