The thousand and one faces of Sánchezstein

In The Art of Political Lie , the Scottish physician and satirist John Arbuthnot makes a scathing criticism of the two hegemonic parties - the Whigs and the Tories - of 18th-century England. Starting from the fact that there is a physiological disposition of the human being to deceit, this polymath defines politics as "the art of making people believe healthy falsehoods with a good end". Made this assertion of easy public subscription, it establishes different sophistry. Thus, together with the "slanderous lie" or the "lie for increase," he refers to the "lie for translation," that is, the one that transfers the demerit of a bad action to others.

In Spain, it is exemplified by the acting president, Pedro Sánchez. Once he has not left other than to put the covered cards upside down since the night of 28-A and to force an electoral reissue on 10-N with which he hopes to fatten the 123 seats harvested five months ago, he loads on his backs a fiasco that he has deliberately pursued. As he himself, by the way, was affecting Rajoy when he was in a similar trance after the 2015 elections. With one caveat, not nimia.

Unlike the former tenant of La Moncloa, who needed the abstention of the PSOE to unlock his investiture, Sanchez has been able to do it left and right. Well with his declared "preferred partner" Unidos Podemos, or with Citizens, removing the 2016 Hug Pact with Rivera. To deny such evidence, Sanchez reacts with the development that Jonathan Swift, a contemporary of Arbuthnot, taught in his Instructions to the servants: "When you have committed a fault, always show yourself insolent and brazen, behave as if you were the aggrieved person."

In this "great national timba", of which an Unamuno spoke cinematographically replaced by Amenábar with his recent premiere on the wise Basque, Sanchez was bluffing camouflaging his decision to go to an electoral reissue that, as a second round, allows him rule free of hands and feet. But without the Spaniards being clear about what they intend to do with that hypothetical blank check. With a ruler devoid of principles and unscrupulous, any recklessness can have shelter.

He never wanted to agree with those he chose as preferred partners after hearing from Ferraz's balcony how his corifeos, which echo of his wishes, chanted "with Rivera no." As he turned to his wife with a complicit smile, he replied with pleasure: "I think it has been quite clear, right?"

The acting president pursues, "total free", that the taxpayers will pay for the tenth lottery that would be necessary until he obtains the jackpot of the 10-N draw

In his overacting with United We can, Sanchez could get caught in his game by offering what was not in the writings trying to undress Pablo Iglesias . In an inappropriate gesture of contention by the latter, the Podemite leader assumed to remain outside the coalition government. But, like a ludopath who thinks he is on a run of good luck and does not want to waste it, his eye grew. After starting a vice-presidency and three ministries, he was filled with greed by claiming him in the negotiating cabin "... and two hard boiled eggs", in the manner of Chico Marx in A Night at the Opera.

If the politician attached to a queue had been planted, instead of blowing up the bench, Sanchez would have had to temporarily compromise with that cohabitation in anticipation of, with any excuse, undertake new elections, not in the fall, as now, but such Once yes in spring. This is what happened in France of the socialist Mitterrand in 1981 after four communist ministers entered a coalition cabinet. His disastrous economic measures - especially the nationalization of the bank - served as an antidote to Gonzalez when the wreck of the UCD crossed the threshold of La Moncloa. This did not prevent the temptation of the simulation through the expropriation of the Rumasa Empire by coercing a Constitutional Court that has since dragged that original sin.

When he appeared in La Sexta Sánchez the other night to argue that, if the coalition government that he himself offered to Iglesias had substantiated, "he would be a president of the Government who would not sleep at night," it is worth asking who led the bedroom to his intimate enemy depending on the season of the year. Too bad that his interviewer Ferreras did not rescue from the video library the statement that, in November 2017, he made to Évole. By way of mea guilt that would redeem him for history, a defenestrated general secretary of the PSOE transmitted to him, in a conspicuous tone to give him plausibility, that "I was wrong to cross out Populist's" and that "the PSOE has to work side by side with Podemos ". He had not known "to understand the movement behind Iglesias, the number of young people who want to renew politics" and he regretted not having extended his pact with Cs to Podemos.

After two short years, Sánchezstein, the politician to whom the motion of censure Frankenstein rescued from the night of the times, the man of a thousand and one faces, in a movement of transvestism, seems to fall from the cherry with Podemos . He does so after attending the April elections with a common grassroots program with the formation of Churches, to designate him as a preferred partner when the polls were opened, to rig governments between municipalities and autonomies in May, and to provide a coalition cabinet in June. To take away your sleep, come on. After collecting these gains, as the captain of the French gendarmerie in the Casablanca movie, he is shocked that, in Rick's coffee of Spanish politics, he plays.

Sánchez had no interest in agreeing his government with Iglesias. Nor with Rivera. He moved boldly, offering him a way out of despair, once the breaking of hostilities between the PSOE and UP became official. He did so with the sole purpose of unmasking the socialist candidate and evidencing that he is not willing to reverse his Navarre pact with Bildu, or compromise his future action in Catalonia.

As well as to undo the fiscal sable he prepares after a campaign in which he will once again pull the budget to win the votes he needs and in which he will have all the power apparatus at his service, as he did five months ago. When Spain establishes a milestone with its fourth legislative elections in four years, the candidate pursues - "total free" - that the taxpayers will pay him the tenth lottery that will be necessary until finally obtaining the 10-N jackpot prize .

In an exercise of transvestism seems to fall from the cherry with We can

To think that, if the voters make the fat broth on 10-N, what has not happened this week in Israel with Netanyahu after casting the dice after five months of winning the elections, he will do what he has not been willing to do: either a coalition government with PP, or with Cs, is not knowing the nature of Sánchez. As Rajoy did not want to repair his scorpion stinger, despite its visibility.

Because what he is looking for is an entente in Catalonia with separatism (ERC) that politically redirects the sentence that, before the end of October, the Supreme Court will issue on the attempted coup d'etat of October 1, 2017. Not forgetting its city ​​hall with a PNV that, putting a candle to God and another to the Devil, wants to add to its economic independence from Spain through the economic concert its practice political independence thanks to that euphemism called political concert that promotes pachas with Bildu , while its partners PSE government whistle distractedly.

With the snake grown in the heat of its coming victims, the phylloetarians do not, moreover, refuse to propose in the Basque Parliament that the constitutionalists of PP, Cs and Vox cannot campaign in the Basque Country. They try to give a letter of legality to what they are already fighting for by force and with criminal intimidation. On the other hand, as the PSOE has already been forgiven by the political arm of the terrorist band ETA from the Zapatero negotiations onwards until its embrace in the Navarre Parliament so that the Chivite socialist presides over the regional community, they already consider him as one of theirs. This removes the remains of those heroic socialists riddled cowardly by those gunmen exalted by leaving their seclusion from their graves.

Therefore, Sanchez could not accept the basic condition that Rivera gave him in relation to Catalonia and Navarra. In response to his campaign flips, anything is possible, surprisingly, in the socialist aspirant. In their political future, they have moved to assert that "in Catalonia there is no problem of definition", as he did in his first stage as secretary general, to convey to Évole that "Spain is a nation of nations and Catalonia is a nation within another nation that is Spain, as is the Basque Country, and this is something we have to talk about and recognize "; to return the other night, already in electoral mode, to the starting place.

The truth is that, after betting on "perfecting the recognition of the plurinational character of the State pointed out in article 2 of the Constitution" or initiating the Claudication of Pedralbes with Torra, when before he had it for "the Catalan Pen", hides the term station As he also lands on the unquestioned fact that if he undertakes these second elections again as acting president, it is because the independentists empowered him, along with the podemites. By the motion of censure of May 2018 against a stunned Rajoy through the dagger of the treason of a tortious judgment of the judgment on a piece of the Gürtel case. He went as a witness and was sentenced in practice without the need to explain a sentence as is law. It was enough a mere value judgment of the rapporteur in the sense that he had not found his statement convincing to, without having to deduce testimony, periclite his political career.

The good shape of the average Spanish can make it predisposed not only to accept octopus as a companion animal, but to vote for the cephalopod by withdrawal. Warned should be, however, on who, after destabilizing Spanish policy, is offered as a factor of stability from a supposed centrality. Once such imposture has been achieved, the famous epigram of the canary Juan de Iriarte should be applied: "Mr. Don Juan de Robres, / with unparalleled charity, / made this holy hospital / but first made the poor." Attitudes like these led the quintessential Catholic writer Chesterton to exclaim: "God free us from philanthropists!"

Sánchezstein disregards the advice of John Arbuthnot in The Art of Political Lie . Whoever was the head doctor of Queen Anne of Great Britain recommended to politicians not to believe their particular lies . An excess of zeal in the exercise of the art of lies could cause some to take their own hoaxes for certain and try to resolve state affairs based on the deception they engineered to satisfy their power ambitions.

He did so knowing that, in practice, it was materially impossible to find politicians capable of making such a containment effort. Much less when the elder liars have gullible machamartillo in teleadictas societies with memory of fish, whose retention of homo videns lasts from one news to another.
