While Sánchez unsuccessfully tried to appease his partner Aragonès regarding the unresolved espionage scandal so that the legislature does not knock him down, the opposition leader received a warm welcome from the Catalan economic power.
Núñez Feijóo made his debut as president of the PP at the Círculo de Economía in Barcelona, and the reception contrasted significantly with the one given to Pablo Casado on his last visit to this important business forum.
yes
ia Casado was ambushed to agree to pardons,
the respect paid to Feijóo reveals recognition of his leadership
, founded on the managerial experience at the head of Galicia;
reliability that the economic establishment of Catalonia greatly misses.
However.
What the Catalan businessmen who today lament the decline resulting from the separatist delirium should not forget is their cowardly complicity -if not their active enthusiasm- in this process of degradation.
The Catalan bourgeoisie surrendered first to convergent corruption, then to the identity madness of Puigdemont and Junqueras, and today it languishes between victimhood and paralysis,
without a substantive self-criticism for more companies that fled from Catalonia has yet been heard
.
The interesting thing would be to assume their own mistakes and make a proposal to amend them.
"The
process
it has been a lousy deal,” said Feijóo, whose promise of political stability – without which there can be no economic progress – pleased the audience very much.
Emphasizing his more autonomous profile, the Galician leader spared nods to the singularity of Catalan autonomy, but urged to abandon the impasse of independence to speak "less of disconnecting and more of reconnecting to the dynamism that he should not have abandoned".
It has been in the Circle of Economy where for the first time a leader of the PP makes reference to the notion of nationality, which although it is in the Constitution, in certain contexts such as Catalan it can lend itself to misunderstandings.
The PP better than anyone should already know that the principles should never be subordinated to the electoral strategy
.
It is good that Feijóo offers the Catalans the recovery of a project of mutual loyalty and respectful decentralization, by which Catalonia returns to the head of the Spanish impulse from the recognition of diversity that appears in the Constitution.
Overtaken by Vox in the last Catalan elections, the PP is in certain danger of extinction in the region, and a party that aspires to govern Spain must be able to obtain a good result in the second most populous community in the country.
That is why the PP continues to continue fighting nationalism.
Because the
process
it has not died: it remains latent after judicial setbacks, reorganizing itself.
The separatist strategy continues in the gradual delegitimization of the Spanish institutions
, as we see daily.
And the PSOE is not a party that can be entrusted with the fight against xenophobic and segregating nationalism, because it has merged with it in exchange for power.
That battle can only be won by the PP.
To do this, he must conjure up the lethal temptation of appeasement, without the need to resort to incendiary rhetoric.
