Of the fault that is the political compass in Spain attests that today the headlines do not report a reactionary withdrawal of the PP. That they do not notice their rightist castling , in short, so evident after Pablo Casado assumed as his own the traditionalist drift of the party in the Basque Country.

Fueros are old laws and in their old age their validity is based. The PNV inscribed them with God in their motto, but preferred to do it as lege zarra and the nuance - the original motto was Jaungoikoak eta foruak - is a laudable exercise of transparency. To me this indisputable prevalence of the old seems to me a very precise definition of reactionary politics but whoever opposes it is called conservative Spain . In this deranged framework also lives the PP, who fleeing the stigma has gone to meet in the center of the center with the very centrist Iñaki Anasagasti.

Nationalists often defend their dogmas by referring to the lack of discernment of the profane, hence the vicinity of the privileges with God. My suspicion about foralism is increased by knowing that the popular Alfonso Alonso believes it is necessary for Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo to go to the Basque Country if he wants to understand it. One knows that it is before one of those ancestral mysteries on which nationalism founded its cult when to understand something it is necessary to bend the knees, turn the head, put the ear on the ground and listen to the beats of the homeland.

That the foral regime today is the perpetuation of a nineteenth-century privilege is something as indisputable as the promise of ending a privilege usually causes rejection in the community that enjoys it. Hence, one understands that the Basque PP, so stressed by necessity, submits the reason illustrated to the electoral reason. What is rude is that I review the calculation of heroism.

The leaders of the Basque PP could have argued that in the very condition of the spokeswoman is not having a voice of their own. Ask Álvarez de Toledo to shut up his opinions, in short, that the regional campaign is coming, but they preferred to usurp history, issue foreigners and adorn themselves with the superficial rhetoric - literally superficial - of the fluffy carpets.

Even more important than what one thinks is how one thinks it and that is why this episode of the Basque Popular Convention is crucial. Coinciding in a matter with the nationalists does not necessarily make you a nationalist, what really relates you is to defend it as they do.
