municipal alchemists
Investitures place defined by location, with dissimilar alliances for mayoralties. 28A performed the presidential election you advanced. Of negotiations are ongoing would have to emerge the new government. And we reported on the results of 26M, date on which deputies elected European Parliament Y municipal authorities After weaving alliances, Saturday 15 mayors were chosen. Municipalities expressed their own peculiarities and dynamics.
With the method that determines who will be mayor, not necessarily governs the voted. The balance can be tilted to opposite sides according to coalition spectrum defined by the elected council. As part of this reality, some questions arise for analyzing.
The model “trifacho”, PP, citizens, VOX, which debuted in Andalusia, again he gave off the right spectrum. The most favored was the PP, that following the sinking of 28A found a lifeline by winning the City Council and the Community of Madrid. A Citizens offered him the chance to keep the pulse of popular intending to achieve the desired Sorpasso. At VOX fachos granted them the power to define majorities in some municipalities.
The model “trifacho”, PP, citizens, VOX, which debuted in Andalusia, again he gave off the right spectrum.
Equally, the framework is weak because they can only offer the people reactionary measures and training is fiercely contesting each other. For example, three days to agree in Madrid, VOX demanded executive positions were denied, generating the first crisis with cross threats. Citizens approach to VOX has led to its European partner, French President Emmanuel Macron, ask for explanations, because they are fascists as the party of Le Pen. Whatever, we must fight daily to "Trio de Colón" so that no progress from below, institutional or from your location.
Another important issue is the course taken by calls "Forces of change". We believe that what happened in the city of Barcelona should be cause for a new reflection of honest followers can.
The vote was Ernest Maragall (ERC), who he had been able to form a government, In a city which, in general, which he drew more votes ruled. It was followed by Ada Colau of We share. As a result of negotiations, Colau was reelected mayor. He won an absolute majority with the votes themselves added to the PSC and Citizens. The latter led by Manuel Valls, Former French Prime Minister, of Catalan origin, a social democrat whose right It was reactionary and repressive management.
Comú Podem weaved in convergence with advocates 155 and the IBEX 35
Colau justified the right approach to declaring: "Keep the City Council is key to the ongoing changes", "I never hid my discomfort" Y "The one who has to answer for their votes is Valls and not". He is having achieved the dream of Pablo Iglesias to govern with the PSOE, He was congratulated by Irene Montero, Podemos leader. But not all are joys.
When he left the investiture was rejected by hundreds of people, a completely different scenario from the previous investiture when he was applauded by coming to power being an activist anti-eviction. He also received some sexist insults repudiate.
further, a break is generated. The leader of Citizens Albert Rivera announced the break with Valls (whom he had handpicked a candidate) for their support We shared-PSC. The decision was accompanied Celestino Corbacho, one of the three aldermen who voted for the reelection, whereby a three-day inauguration absolute majority that had enabled vanished.
Four-year term in these conditions does not portend a future of peace Colau.
I specifically in relation to the new mandate, is that We wove together convergence with advocates 155 and the IBEX 35. Although everyone says that coincided with the "stuffy nose" they are actually compatible, unites the defense of the unity of Spain. The maneuver had as decisive intended to prevent an independence former mayor of Barcelona. Even, Ernest Maragall, carried out by the autonomist policy, negotiating and moderate CKD. There is not "Equidistance" but I embrace the unionismo.
…the independence movement did not present a common regional strategy and became entangled in place by place defined tactics.
Changes are made only limited concessions facade, behind which they remain intact the privileges of the rich and the capitalists negotiated. The mayor gets the nod on the left, but turn right. Follows the same pattern as other reformist forces adopted worldwide after coming to power, causing disappointment in his followers and opening the way to the right.
Another important element is that the independence movement did not present a common regional strategy and became entangled in place by place defined tactics. Catalans major parties remain divided, causing confusion and doubts in broad sectors of the population.
After the elections, re-imposing the reality of the majority of working people. Precarious working conditions, wages are not enough, skyrocketing rents, the settings, socially unequal cities, health deficiencies, cutting education and democratic freedoms.
None of the bourgeois governments and elected right resolve outstanding problems. You need to build a new political alternative, truly left, anticapitalist, to support and encourage the struggles of the workers and the people. That dispute politically right expressions with those who call themselves leftist and progressive, but really they are not.
