The blackout is not freed from the political tangana | Spain

It happened with the pandemichappened with The Dana And no one who follows Spanish politics could expect something to happen to the great blackout. There is no event of a certain magnitude that does not serve as fuel to continue twisting the infinite shock loop. The PP has not waited for a day to load against the government and demand that it explain already the causes of the massive fall of the electricity supplyan issue whose clarification some experts point out that it could take weeks. The socialists did not take the usual counterattack to accuse the popular to « take advantage of the crisis. The Parliamentary Allies of the Government already demand explanations in the Cortes, although without criticism for now.

Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo finally spoke on Tuesday, after an episode of pickled phones on Monday, when, apparently, communications problems frustrated the conversation. Although the PP described the « cordial » talk, the background invite you to think that this telephone contact will not prevent the blackout, like all the various disasters that this government has faced, write one more chapter of the incessant political torque.

The criticism of the PP and Feijóo himself They already sprouted on Monday to denounce the « informative blackout » of the government. In the first hour on Tuesday, the popular leader had an appointment in two of the most stridently critical communicative pulpits with the government, that of Federico Jiménez Losantos on the radio and that of Ana Rosa Quintana on television. Feijóo denounced lack of information and spoke of a « overflowing » government and an « ideological » energy policy for cornering nuclear energy.

The popular had no problem In building this speech from Valenciawhere the Congress of the European PP is celebrated and where the Feijóo party heads a colonomic government valed in the courts, in the street and in the political forums for its passivity before the Dana disaster. Right there, a Valencian, the vice -secretary of the Esteban González Pons party, sentenced before the European leaders that « Spain has a state, not a government. »

To the chorus of the reproaches, the Madrid president could not miss, who on Monday had rushed to transfer the ballot to manage the emergency to the central executive. Isabel Díaz Ayuso also completed on Tuesday the pilgrimage to Losantos and Quintana, whom she presented with the proclamation that what happened is the product of « the ideology and sectarianism » on the left. To put him even more mordant, the always eager popular spokesman in Congress, Miguel Tellado, also multiplied in interviews in the media, apart from his hyperactivity in the networks, where he dawned with the following message dedicated to Sánchez: « The feudal man returned us to the Middle Ages. » The Socialists limited themselves to replicating all this with a statement in which, on the one hand, they argued that the attitude of the popular incurs « an indignity rarely seen » and, on the other, they described that attitude as « usual. »

In the extreme part of the right flank, Vox cultivated what is usually in each crisis: feed conspiracy suspicions. His parliamentary spokesman, Pepa Millán, said, without the need to offer any type of evidence, that the Government knows perfectly the cause of what happened and is hiding it. Its leader, Santiago Abascal, had left before demanding the resignation of Sánchez, already turned into a ritual litany in each intervention of his.

The government will have to give wide explanations in Congress and not only because the right is asked. His parliamentary allies were not delayed in demanding it either. In Tuesday, ERC and BNG registered the requests for appearance in the Congress of the President, the Third Vice President and Minister of Ecological Transition and the holders of Transport and Interior. They did it with aseptic texts and without formulating reproaches to government performance. Something more critical was Junts, who later presented another request for appearances, starting with Sánchez’s, in a letter in which he dropped that the government took five hours to give their first information. For that same reason for the delay in appearing, Junts and ERC They have censored the Catalan Executive of the Socialist Salvador Illa.

Against what had been its current currency, Podemos saved this time attacks on the government and just underlined that the episode has highlighted the importance of public services. IU, after his clashes with Sánchez for defense spending, focused on attacking the right that, in the words of his leader, Antonio Maíllo, « given any difficulty, seeks to sow hatred and divide. »

Sanchez already planned to appear in Congress next Wednesday 7 with the complicated mission of defending the rearma against a hostile camera. Now, the script has become a little more.
