The electoral debate between the spokespersons of the seven parliamentary groups on TVE was another demonstration of how far the parties are still installed in the blockade and in a strategy of crossed vetoes that threatens to turn on Groundhog Day the Monday after next Sunday's elections. It is a great irresponsibility that in this atypical campaign for some elections that should not have been repeated, the political leaders get stuck in the stand and do not amend it instead of opening to formulas to guarantee the governance that encourage citizens to go to the urns hoping that this time your vote will do something.

Naturally, not everyone has the same share of responsibility. Because if we are where we are, it is because of partisan short-termism and Pedro Sánchez's inability to agree on the only viable investiture with the results left by 28-A . He never wanted to open up to a frank and consistent dialogue with the constitutionalist forces, although the sum with the radical left also did not give him an absolute majority. And dissatisfied by a victory that he knew little by little, Sanchez preferred to let the months run and return the letters to the suffered voters. A stubborn nobody wins. And on Friday, the first day of the campaign, he dedicated it to making it clear that he persists in his veto to the PP . As if the results that the polls can leave on 10-N, according to the polls, would allow the PSOE the luxury of establishing sanitary cords , unless its leader is willing to win the elections to chronify the blockade and condemn the Spaniards to a scenario of paralysis that would lead the country to ruin .

Sanchez is an irresponsible attitude that partly explains the fall that the polls forecast to the Socialists. And this, coupled with the unstoppable rise that has been starring in the Popular Party in recent months, puts us in a very different scenario from April. Today the left and center right blocks are in a technical tie and, as Pablo Casado emphasizes today in our pages, today the leader of the popular has practically the same possibilities as Sánchez to form a Government. There is no doubt that the party is very open and that the Socialists have gone from looking very happy to being seriously worried. Thus, no candidate can avoid saying clearly who is willing to agree after the elections so that the Spaniards know what to expect. The firmness with which Casado says that "the PP meets everyone, except independence and batasunos" is a clear and necessary commitment to constitutionalism at a time when the independence challenge is the greatest threat to our framework of coexistence. We still need to know what Sánchez and his advisor Iván Redondo intends. Won't they be thinking about third elections?
