The president of Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco , spent Monday for breakfast at a busy Madrid forum with more pain than glory. The protagonist was Pablo Casado , who in addition to ratifying the no of the PP to Pedro Sánchez in full swing of Albert Rivera's hip, suggested the need to articulate "a State pact" against depopulation. Atiza, as Campmany would say. There was no need to wait until the outcome of the King's round of consultations to know if there were new general elections. The fact that the rural environment appeared on the national scene was a clear proof that we were already campaigning. Again.

Before the April generals, Sanchez embraced a strategy for the demographic challenge as evanescent as it was precipitous, Casado asked to improve the common agrarian policy - making the usual mistake of limiting the future of the countryside to the primary sector -, Iglesias illustrated us about the virtues of organic farming and Rivera got on a tractor, whose owner is now a national deputy of Citizens, to suggest tax credits for the autonomous. Let's get ready to endure similar scenes in the coming weeks by a plethora of leaders whose urban roots prevent them from conceiving of the villages as they are. That is, without prejudice.

The lack of concrete political rhetoric in tangible measures amplifies melancholy. Especially if the position of the Government swings between the reinforcement of rural barracks to stop bleeding from depopulation and the occurrence of bringing state agencies to the plateau. All this litter of promises, as expected, fell into a broken sack. Neither state agreement nor reactivation of the Rural Development Law of 2007, which is based on a rigorous radiography of the social and economic cartography of the interior. We continue at exactly the same point as before the misgovernment. Or worse, because the emptied Spain, according to the INE, loses five inhabitants per hour. Such erosion has moved dozens of platforms to convene a five-minute strike on October 4 in 23 provinces. The tiredness runs through the backbone of a country struck by inequality. And, more than the blockade, the disdain for rurality can be attributed to the lack of willingness of our heroes to make amends. Although they are portrayed on top of a tractor.
