Sánchez leaves Spain in the hands of Bildu

The vote on the government's economic decree has brought about another week of parliamentary vaudeville that the citizens of a country suffocated by inflation and threatened by an unaffordable debt do not deserve.

The

was to ally with forces that were enemies of the state in order to attain and retain power.

And the ballast of that original irresponsibility is the one that threatens to turn the last year of his mandate into a succession of absurdities, betrayals, puerile suspense, blackmail

rude jests, sectarian stubbornness and worsening erosion of democratic institutions, starting with Parliament.

: Its function already seems to be limited to the blind validation of the decrees abused by the PSOE to make up for its precarious majority.

In Congress there is no dialogue, debate or negotiation with loyalty, as an adult democracy with serious challenges in the present and many more in the immediate future.

They did not vote for the PP to unconditionally abide by the will of Sanchista, but rather to offer an alternative.

And in exceptional moments, so that it attracts sanchismo to moderation -if this is possible- through

Unfortunately, he prefers Bildu.
