There is no space for the politician with Bina | Opinion
Some surely remember China syndrome, The famous James Bridges moviestarring Jack Lemmon, Jane Fonda and Michael Douglas. The argument goes from a nuclear accident in which the core of the reactor melts and supposedly would cross the earth until reaching the antipodes: to China, in the case of the United States. It is a hypothesis without scientific consistency, but if I bring it here, it is for what it has as a metaphor of the chain reaction they have generated Trumpist tariffs, how wrong and high -risk decisions end up causing global consequences. Also, from a symbolic perspective, for the connection that the film establishes between these two countries, which is a way of highlighting the tremendous prominence and interdependence of both when forming the current economic system. If, on the one hand, the fusion of the system is caused, there is no choice but to look at the reaction of who is going to be affected the most. Because it may be in the antipodes, but right now you have So much or similar capacity to condition the international economy.
This comes to the story of The visit of our government president to the Asian country. In some places It has been seen as precipitated and even irresponsible, more interested in promoting their figure before Spanish or European public opinion than in achieving specific results. I do not believe it, and it even seems secondary to me. If one of the greats closes the doors, why not approach the other? Moreover, taking into account our immense trade deficit with the Asian giant and The need to react, Nationally and European, given the situation of precariousness and uncertainty in which Trump has left us. Besides, The results of the meeting They have made it clear that the Spanish mission seeks to establish a mediation between the EU and China and our commitment to the defense of the multilateral order that is preached from Europe has been made explicit. Criticizing it for potential American reprisals, another of the arguments used, means lowering a country with limited sovereignty, becoming a mere pawn from Washington’s interests, which has already discounted any reasonable cooperation with its once allies.
The interesting issue, however, at least from our internal national perspective, is the curious lack of international and European profile that our opposition suffers, obeyed in the usual issues. The more « local » these are, the higher the fuss, but we are ascending on scale It is answered with silence or with more or less diffuse words. From this column I have always defended The need to achieve state agreements Between the two great games. For this, the other is needed, the PP in this case, also moves, to explain what its priorities are and where it is before each new situation. The opposition by system is sometimes less profitable than the ability to know when it is necessary to join something because the general interest, not the most specific of its party, demands it.
And one last observation. In the times, the leadership that imports are no longer reduced to the classic policy management skills. They have to learn to move with cunning and determination in the extensive and multifaceted scenarios of European and global politics. There is no space for the politician with Bina. We want it or not, we are facing a new paradigm that will force those affected to have to adjust a more cosmopolitan hat. And, notice to navigators, their survival, in the Darwinist way, will also depend here on its ability to adapt to the new environment.
