Crossroad
Unsuccessful the PSOE-United we bargain, the debate reopened on steps to take, among them, the “Portuguese track”. Seamless sight, the PSOE has resumed its original line to form a government partnership. Monolithic around the reactionary policy toward Catalonia and monotone as the main charges, without ministries in the hands of other parties. Based on programmatic agreements and common goals with the United parliamentarians can, what they call "Portuguese way". Vice President Carmen Calvo expressed it: "The formula to support the government with concrete goals is a good formula, with a lot of history in Europe ". Although they say they do not want new elections, look at the surveys sideways, while continuing uncertainty.
We can in no United polemics. Pablo Iglesias insists a coalition government. The mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau (Common in Catalonia) I think that: "A stable and progressive government is necessary, If you can not today be in September, elected officials can not fail, They have to lay the days necessary to have government ". Lander Martinez (We can Euskadi) He said: "Toca reflect, heal wounds and find the best way to agree on a government program and the distribution of ministries ".
Enrique Santiago (PCE-Left United): "It is not necessary to enter the government, even from then we also prefer to IU. The first is to set goals and then and instruments to carry them out ". From Anticapitalists have expressed: “... Our position has been and is negotiating an agreement investiture program we propose is based on the demands raised up in exchange for allowing the Sanchez and move from the left to the opposition, condition with votes for legislative and governmental action, organize and mobilize society and raise patiently alternative to liberal social hegemony”.
Be part of the social democratic bourgeois government it would involve crossing a border class…Or facilitate the investiture “Portuguese track” would set a policy claudication.
Thus, United can be debates between the government of the PSOE; I do not integrate, but facilitate the accession to power and support from Parliament; and ensuring the presidency and then go into opposition. We do not share any of these statements expressing an adaptation of the regime.
Be part of the social democratic bourgeois government it would involve crossing a border class, It would betray no return. Facilitate the investiture of the PSOE without integrating the government, both the "Portuguese way" as a subsequent pass opposition, would set a policy claudication. This is because it is known beforehand that Pedro Sanchez will follow the orders of the imperialist bloc EU, defend the parliamentary monarchy and democratic freedoms cut, will deny the right to self-determination and Catalan have no qualms about negotiating right when you need it.
the need to adopt some of the above steps to avoid argued that strengthening "The Trio of Columbus" or the commitment to sign "Programmatic agreements". Nor do we agree. To the right is to defeat it in the streets and in institutions, but it will not be achieved with political fraud, even assuming that social democracy of bipartisanship and the scheme is "Lesser evil". Yes fair complaint to the ultra right and not find a consistent correlation in the mobilization and politics, end up defrauding large sections of the population and in this way, opening his way to the fight saying. It is a vicious cycle that is repeated throughout the world. Reformism continues to provoke debates on the left, as it happened in Greece or Brazil. Currently it expressed in Britain and the United States, among other countries, as we find in the recent participation International Socialist League in the conference Socialism 2019, held in Chicago.
The PSOE agree on a program, even partial and limited, It does not guarantee anything. Already she did with the motion of censure and not fulfilled. You can not place any trust in Pedro Sanchez and his party. On the other hand, What allude those who speak of "Portuguese way"? They refer to the government of the Socialist Party, Antonio Luis Santos da Costa as prime minister, which it has the parliamentary support of Left Bloc (expressions coalition of leftist and progressive).
We must promote the mass movement to break into the scene, to re-kick the board as 15M.
The "Portuguese way" in politics it is accompanied by a promoted economic model in which you need to stop. Portugal has had a moderate growth based on tourism, the real estate business and foreign investment with large concessions to entrepreneurs. It is true that employment has recovered part and reversed some of the toughest measures taken during the peak of the crisis. So it is that the model was forged on the basis of: several years of suspension of payment of bonuses, low wages, loss of workers' gains, labor reforms, existence of precarious contracts, VAT increase, tariffs, implementation of privatization and debt repayment to the IMF. Governments prior to the management of Costa made the "dirty work" from which the efforts of the workers and the people allowed to poke his head from the well of austerity. It has nothing to do with an economy and a socialist model break with capitalism.
Between 2018 Y 2019 There were struggles. During the strike of transporters fuel, President Costa He appealed to the Army and security forces to break it.
Returning to the Spanish State, through serious problems are drag Franco. They were not resolved by the transition and will not be directed only by changing a president. And the situation will become more tense itself parties and the regime still getting sick the population adjustment, corruption, lies and maneuvers. Revolutionary socialists refuse to integrate a bourgeois government, take the "Portuguese way" or any other involving support the PSOE Pedro Sánchez advocate or any other variant of the regime and the capitalist system.
We must promote the mass movement to break into the scene, to re-kick the board as 15M. To convene a general strike by social and immediate political demands of the workers and the people. And fight for the convocation of a Constituent Assembly Free and Sovereign, to discuss and decide the country's fate, overcoming the obsolete regime of '78. To turn around, it is necessary to build a new anti-capitalist political alternative, consequent, left, strategy that has as a government of the workers and the people.
