It is good that Nadia Calviño shares an act with the Ministers of Economy of Germany, France and Italy to demand greater agility from Brussels in the distribution of the expected funds.

The unit of action between the first four economies of the euro is a value, but the truth is that

each of these four countries starts from very different macroeconomic frameworks

;

and when the time comes, they will have to assume different conditions.

Spain, whose economy has been hit like no other by the pandemic, par

You are in the caboose with a debt shot up to 120% of GDP, with 5.5 million workers without active employment and with the deficit out of control.

Italy, led by the respected leadership of Mario Draghi, has presented an authentic country plan - approved in the Chamber of Deputies with 442 votes in favor, 19 against and 51 abstentions - after involving multiple parties in

a transversal commitment that brings the public and private sectors in close collaboration

around specific and limited strategic objectives.

I'm sure we can implement this plan.

I am sure that honesty, intelligence, concern for the future will prevail over corruption, stupidity and interests, "Draghi sentenced.

The problem of the Spanish Government starts from its

schizophrenic composition

.

The departure of Pablo Iglesias on the way to the Madrid Assembly was supplemented by the promotion of Yolanda Díaz, whose best spirit does not hide an ideological extremism incompatible with European orthodoxy.

While Díaz and his party have set their red lines in the repeal of the labor reform, the intervention of rent prices or tax increases, the socialist part of the Executive tries to convince Europe on its own that it will not do anything of that.

Is this division the cause of so much secrecy in the communication of the recovery plan?

Why do all Spaniards have to pay for the inconsistency of a cabinet that obeyed the exclusive interest of Sánchez?

France, Greece, Italy or Portugal lower taxes and put their best talents at the forefront of their recovery programs, seeking broad consensus in pursuit of a country strategy.

Here

Moncloa is immersed in a delusional campaign to demonize the opposition

, as if we were living in the 1930s, when Madrid is precisely the region that offers the best economic data in the entire country.

Instead of looking for examples of management whose effectiveness is proven, the sanchismo is dedicated to digging anachronistic trenches in a desperate attempt to reverse its polls in Madrid.

In this context, Calviño tries to buy time and begs Brussels to allow him to postpone until 2022 the unpopular but necessary reforms for Spain, while claiming the funds as soon as possible.

That is not serious, nor can it seem so to the European partners who have been warning of conditionality

agreed in exchange for an extraordinary solidarity effort.

Spain cannot project this image of a lagging student who asks and does not comply.

The time of demagoguery is over and it is time to face the harsh reality as responsible leaders who treat Spaniards as adults.

Otherwise, the near future will be even worse.
