Own goals (1), article by Joan Tapia


The mistake of the PP deputy Alberto Casero -who is not just any deputy- has saved the labor reform agreed between the Government, the CEOE, UGT and CCOO. The reform, which took long months of negotiation, deserved something more worthy. Now own goals are news and perhaps on Sunday we will see another one by Pablo Casado if, as several polls predict, the PP is far from the absolute majority and needs to replace Cs with Vox to govern.

But not only the PP suffers own goals. the vice president Yolanda Díaz has recriminated ERC that because of him the vote was about to be lost and that one does not play with things to eat. paul churcheswe do not know if as a commentator or Arzalluz de Podemos, he regrets that the PSOE does not yet know that agreeing with the right is accepting ‘Trojan horses’ and that on Thursday left-wing forces were able to fight each other.

For its part, Pedro Sánchez blames the PP: “We saw the true face of a right that whitens the transfuguismo & rdquor ;. Next to him, in León, Zapatero added: “They are crying on the corners, that they have a little modesty that they wanted to win with two turncoats and from behind”.

But what has happened also shows that the PSOE-Podemos government works poorly. He won the vote due to the error of a PP deputy, but he had previously resigned from a deputy of his own. As if a team went out to a decisive game with one less player due to fights in the locker room. The coalition should have 155 deputies and not 154 How has it been since October? And of his own free will.

Then the Canarian deputy of Podemos, Alberto Rodriguez, was sentenced by the Supreme Court to 45 days in prison and disqualification from passive suffrage (ineligible for public office) for kicking a police officer in 2014. But the prison was commuted for a fine of 540 euros. As there was no prison, the lawyers of Congress -and President Meritxell Batet herself- decided that he should not be deprived of the act of deputy. But a warning from the president of the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court, Manuel Marchena, saying that the sentence should be carried out, made Batet change his mind and disqualify him. Podemos put her hands to her head and accused her of prevaricating. Crisis and confusion in the coalition.

Was Batet wrong? Could he have stood up at the risk of opening a war between the presidency of Congress and the president of the most powerful chamber of the Supreme Court? Maybe, but what doesn’t make sense is that four months later Podemos has not relieved him and that the coalition has one vote less. Meanwhile, Rodríguez has resorted to the Constitutional Court. Did he think it was a police court that would quickly prove him right against the Supreme Court?

The complicated world of Podemos has not dared to demand the act from Rodríguez and the PSOE has not dared to further cloud relations between the two. Legitimate, but it has a cost and the star measure of the legislature has only come out due to the error of a PP deputy. A great ridicule, which Tarradellas said was the only thing that could never be done in politics. Yolanda Díaz blames the ERC, Iglesias complains that the PSOE looks to the center and Sánchez and Zapatero attack the two Navarrese deputies who not only ignored the UPN guideline, but also, God knows why, hid the meaning throughout the day of your vote.

ok, but If Podemos and the PSOE had had their house in order, everything would have been different. Will they put it in now or will they continue tempting any other own goal in the next Congressional votes that will not be easy?
