The Government has received a reality check this week that dismantles its

propaganda strategy to boast that the Spanish economy is much better than, unfortunately, it really is

.

In an unprecedented downward revision, the INE updated the GDP rebound between April and June, noting that instead of the 2.8% indicated in the advance data, the real figure is 1.1%.

Less than half.

In Economics they hide their heads like the ostrich instead of assuming that the recovery

The one that Sánchez boasts so much about is not as strong as he repeats.

That setback did not surprise, however, the economic agents.

As you underline today on our pages

Antonio Garamendi

, the CEOE leader,

“The recovery is not as the Government tells us;

the situation is much more delicate »

.

Along the same lines, different organizations warn that our country is once again among the lagging countries of the EU in the post-pandemic scenario.

Dedicated to tasks such as satisfying the demands of its independence supporters, the Executive continues without addressing the

structural reforms that allow tackling the serious problems that weigh down the system

.

In that sense, Garamendi warns of an increasingly soaring public deficit that would force any responsible leader to adopt spending control measures, quite the opposite of what Moncloa does.

Inflating the data and displaying triumphalism has become a desperate government attempt to reverse the electoral trends in the polls.

But today no serious organization buys the damaged merchandise that sanchismo sells.

Calviño

insists that by the end of the year we will be at pre-Covid economic levels, no independent expert believes that this will be possible before mid-2022, while

All growth forecasts are lowered, leaving the macro table with which Budgets are drawn up on paper.

.

In this climate that requires extreme prudence and a realistic financial year, the CEOE president also criticizes that

"This government is not social dialogue nor is it anything"

, thus dismantling that other repeated fallacy as a mantra that presents Sánchez's ministers, including the Minister of Labor, as great bearers of agreements and champions of concertation.

What has been said, pure propaganda.
