The European project is happily reinforced after the important , truly historic agreement , reached after four marathon days by the leaders of the Twenty-Seven with the aim of facing the devastating crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic . The agreement is, broadly speaking, positive for citizens of the Union as a whole, regardless of their nationality, although, paradoxically, the expectations of some specific governments, such as the Spanish one, are not met. And it is that Pedro Sánchez and his partners in Podemos had had the populist ability to confuse their interests with those of the Spanish, abounding for months in a false dichotomy between solidarity and solidarity countriesand spreading the message that the EU owed us a kind of Marshall Plan without conditions of any kind because we are worth it .

Well, on the contrary, the agreement is fraught with conditionalities - beginning with that emergency brake that allows countries to be very vigilant about the use of funds - which we should not see in the negative sense with which Moncloa has hammered us. , but as a necessary control so that the money is not wasted nor is it a blank check in the hands of irresponsible and riotous leaders. What it would have been like to start shaking, in reality, is the combination of easy money with bad policies such as those we have been suffering for so long. It is time for the Government to understand that Spain will continue to be a sick person in Europe as long as it does not end its structural economic problems and control an exorbitant public deficit and debt. So it is to be welcomed that Brussels will have greater capacity to mark the path by which our economic policy must proceed, tying up short the delusions of Sánchez and Iglesias , well known for the wastefulness practiced and for gestures as alarming as the attempt to dynamite the labor reform, cheered by deputies on crutches as little recommended as the heirs of ETA.

Faced with demagoguery and propaganda, the reality is that Sánchez continues to govern with the Montoro Budgets - although successive extensions have distorted them - and Brussels has made it clear to him that he will have to pursue an economic policy similar to Rajoy's . Impossible to ignore today how the popular had to face the very serious crisis in 2011 without the European oxygen balloon with which luckily his successor can now count. Here, of course, is the great news: a step has been taken towards a more integrated and supportive Europe , after too long of paralysis and hesitation that questioned the very idea of ​​the community dream.
