You will be giving the turn with a phrase of this literal tenor: "Go with the new policy!". Or from this: "I miss bipartisanship!" It is likely, if we get dramatic, that you have pronounced it yourself. You would be the useful fool of a cunning operation whereby those who have always commanded, have stolen almost always or have blocked the farmhouse so as not to share it, they appear as the victims of the situation. The trick works because of the confusion between temporality and causality that the scholastic logicians called post hoc ergo propter hoc : stability problems began with the end of bipartisanship, then the fault lies with the new parties. But if we approach the magnifying glass to the beautiful tapestry of propaganda we will discover the seams.

Podemos and Citizens did not forcefully break into Congress because of Maduro's help or the love of the Ibex: they did it because they connected with the interests of a new generation of Spaniards whose needs - precariousness, transparency, modernity, transversality - were systematically bordered by the bipartisanship Total if those do not vote, their strategists thought. Until they voted. With those votes we can agree with the PSOE, stabbed socialist autonomies and ruled important cities; that his inefficient management was punished or that the pride of his leader thwarted the coalition should not obscure the crude fact that Sanchez owes all his power to Iglesias, who negotiated the motion with the independentistas and gave him the free yes. Rivera, on the other hand, supported Sánchez's investiture in 2016; and when Sanchez blocked the exit, he turned the hinge towards himself to Rajoy in exchange for a regeneration that Rajoy despised. He paid that dissent with censorship, but even then Cs voted against it. And then he has compensated with his territorial support the resounding fall of the PP. Despite this, Sanchez's campaign is about killing Iglesias and Casado's is about killing Rivera.

Nostalgia is a sterile mother who only stops abortions. Amnesia, her sister, does not want to assume that the emergence of other parties - as Errejón knows - is safer than the return of yesterday's binary. I will confess an experience that will be shared by other colleagues who may have come too young to the column: the vivid animosity with which veterans receive you. Not all of course. But that clumsy look is never directed by your fifth-classmates even if they think very differently: with them the camaraderie flows. That is why I have never believed in the class struggle as much as in the struggle of generations . Biology will always send more than ideology: you can't beat the clock. But we invented politics precisely so as not to abandon ourselves to nature.
