The distinction between politics and politics
Politics should be a noble vocation, dedicated to public service and the construction of a more just society. Instead, politics has become a power game where manipulation and disloyalty prevail. This dichotomy is fundamental to understanding the current political climate in Spain.
A tense political landscape
Following the election of Pedro Sánchez as president, Spanish politics has entered an extremely confrontational dynamic. The coalition with Sumar, with the support of several parties, has triggered a fierce reaction from the PP, fueled by Vox, which exacerbates hostility and polarization in Madrid.
Scandals and public image
The controversies surrounding Sánchez’s family have been exploited by the PP to erode its credibility. Corruption cases associated with PSOE figures have widened the shadow of distrust over the government, endangering its stability.
Internal and external challenges
Sánchez finds himself in a precarious situation, with attacks coming from both the opposition and from within his own pact. Tensions with Podemos, JxCat and ERC are making it difficult to pass key measures, such as budgets, and adding a layer of complexity to his governability.
A scenario of multiple fronts
In addition to internal struggles, Sánchez must deal with international pressure, including the implications of Donald Trump’s return to power. His alliances with far-right forces in Europe threaten the democratic values that Spain seeks to defend.
The impact of budgets on society
Failure to approve the budget could have devastating consequences for the economy and social well-being. Businesses, workers and pensioners will be affected, creating instability that harms the whole of society.
A message of responsibility
The parties that support Sánchez must understand that the approval of budgets is not only a political issue, but an act of responsibility towards all citizens. Leaving the country without a clear budget framework is a risky move that can work in favor of the adversaries.
The dilemma of governance
The current situation raises a crucial question: is it viable to maintain the majority to avoid early elections? Unity among the progressive parties is essential to ensure the continuity of the government and prevent a retreat to the extreme right.
Reflections on the future
History teaches us that division and instability can lead to disastrous results. Politics must be a space for dialogue and consensus, and the parties must bear in mind that the stability of Pedro Sánchez’s government is crucial at a time when democratic values are at risk.
