Spaniards are already used to the uncouth exercise of instrumentalization with which the socialist José Félix Tezanos has ruined the credit worked for decades by the Center for Sociological Research (CIS).

It is usual that his voting estimation polls are not objectively weighted, but respond directly to Ferraz's electoral strategy.

What already exceeds the height is that it does so by incurring a failed methodology.

The survey released to

Yer of voting intention in the Community of Madrid is plagued with errors, as various demoscopy specialists demonstrate on our pages.

The poll misassigns seats based on percentage of vote.

Thus, it encourages the expectations of the left with a tie to 68 seats between the blocks, generates doubt in the center-right about the useful vote and consolidates the tendencies of PSOE and Más Madrid, while slowing down the advance of Podemos.

All this is exactly aligned, and it can no longer be said to be a surprise, with LaMoncloa's interests.The manipulation of the latest CIS is so crude that it does not withstand an assault on technicians and sociology professionals.

The method of allocating seats, which does not include hairpins, is applied in a tortuous way, to the point of distorting the final result.

The poll grants each of the parties a definitive number of deputies, and this despite the fact that one of the formations, Ciudadanos, would not enter the Assembly because it was only six tenths behind the 5% of the vote.

The survey is prepared in such a way that, even if the estimate is considered good, the allocation of seats does not add up.

The sum of the three left formations would reach 70 seats, that is, it would exceed the absolute majority, while the right -PP and Vox- would only obtain 66 deputies.

It should be remembered that the threshold of an absolute majority is located at 69 deputies. The bungling of the CIS in Tezanos adds another step in the galloping discredit of the institutions since Sánchez was president.

Joining militant sectarianism and the ideological colonization of state institutions, in this case, is the insolvency in the technical management of arithmetic typical of a once prestigious polling institute.

To this must be added the degradation to which RTVE has been subjected during the long term of Rosa María Mateo, the Post Office scandal - chaired by Juan Manuel Serrano, Sánchez's former chief of staff - after hiring with a company that operates in a tax haven and the unsustainable position of Grande-Marlaska, lacking legitimacy to continue leading the Interior after being proven in court that the dismissal of Colonel Pérez de los Cobos was a political retaliation.

The corollary is to see the former minister Illa de pre-campaign in Madrid launching against Ayuso the invectives that he did not dare to launch against the independence government of the Generalitat.

Sanchismo finds no limit when it comes to eroding institutions.
