10N and then: Spain in sauce
PSOE-UP, a pact to close the political crisis, save the regime and calm the EU. You have to turn around. the second presidential election in seven months and quarters were made in four years. The glut of the population was expressed in a fall in the share of the 75,76 al 69,88%. The overall results he again gave the victory to the PSOE, but with the loss of 800.000 votes, three seats and an absolute majority in the Senate. His aspiration to achieve "the Spaniards speak clearer," alluding to get more votes to govern alone was unsuccessful. United we continued to back.
He "Trifachito" PP-Cs-VOX did not become majority and altered balance of pesos. The PP had a partial improvement, since it went from 66 a 88 MPs, but far from the 137 I had during the government of Mariano Rajoy. Citizens sank, literally: He lost more than two and half million votes and 47 seats. Its leader Albert Rivera resigned from the positions occupied and retired from politics, supposed to be "better parent, friend and partner ". This Mansa image has nothing to do with what they are doing, so you are paying orientation of camouflaging proposals as if they were right center, to deploy a liar speech, to bring about systematic political zigzags, his histrionics and bureaucratic verticality imposed his party. Which until a few months ago it was the most dynamic party of the right recycled, who he fought for overtaking PP, the presidency of Spain and Catalunya; It is in deep crisis, refounding. The far right VOX jumped from 2,6 a 3,6 million votes, which implies moving from 24 a 52 seats, becoming the third force Congress, a meteoric rise since its outbreak in Andalusia eleven months ago.
Regarding the Catalan independence movement, adding the votes of the parties that are claimed as such, They had a growth of four points. This is not a minor fact, It is a reflection of the vitality of the claim for self-determination and freedom of political prisoners and exiles. Election after election, support for the independence movement continues to grow. It has been a very positive fact that the Popular Unity Candidature (CUP) It was submitted first to the Spanish elections and a joy that has obtained two deputies: Mireia Vehí companion and fellow Albert Botrán. From Socialism and Liberty we have been part of the anti-capitalist campaign this training to be "Ungovernable" also in "The heart of the beast" with flags self-determination, amnesty, democratic and social rights.
…the far right has patrocinantes, although not printed on their shirts.
In other election day, there was a fact that deserves a treaty of political alchemy. Sanchez and churches gathered and 24 hours of irreconcilable political mutated to trusted partners, cuddled around a deal with general points and fees. We can IU and its partners are functional to the needs of the regime and now go for new political actors to present a strong executive as possible. We will see that make Anti-capitalist formations like, ERC, PNV and others who are still ambiguous and / or changing in terms of investiture. In Spain political changes are occurring at such high speed, until we finish the investiture process and government formation, do not rush to draw definitive conclusions. Like that and everything, voting and immediate subsequent events raise a number of questions.
Why VOX grew? First you have to locate the context. The global reality is increasingly polarized, crossed by huge rebellions of the workers and peoples, with mass demonstrations, strikes and all kinds of actions, with fierce clashes with the repressive forces. In this context, expressions also appear right, extreme right-wing and / or fascist with varying degrees of acceptance. This reality is manifested in Europe while, It has been installed it is also Spain. Second, There is a purely electoral issue, was the recipient of the votes lost Citizens, that "went out of fashion". Right supporters who voted to Cs preferred vote for the extreme right original and not photocopied right diffusely. There is a social sector communicant with the Franco regime and the monarchy, repression, xenophobia and homophobia and, Consequently, find affinity with the message VOX. Third, the far right has patrocinantes, although not printed on their shirts. The PP and Citizens catapulted to the fachos to govern in coalition with them in Madrid and Andalusia. Y, fourth, They are the normalizing of the regime. With the Constitution in hand, the Supreme Court allowed two of its leaders develop the role of the popular accusation in the farcical trial of the independence leaders. Social democracy and the center left electorally use them to polarize and run as "Dike", when they should focus on defeating them on the streets and surround them in all areas. The media coverage and change normalized antifascist dignity for a little audience.
Why they changed seven months of differences in 24 hours according? Between the choice of the 28 A and the choice of the 10N spent seven months in those who never expressed the possibility of a consensus investiture. And the other day to vote, They agreed to announce a government "progressive", "Exciting project" from the "loyalty". The change is that Spain runs a winding road, unsustainable for the bourgeois and the European Union that require urgent end to political uncertainty. They gave us a quick message, fundamentally, because the weak caretaker government is sailing on a vigorous storm, Catalan rebellion that can not control: who decides when and how close national borders and roads, occupy public spaces and airports. The regime needs to form government "Yes or yes" as Sanchez raised and put to work to achieve, even at the expense of the lukewarm positions of Pablo Iglesias generate them some contradictions and mistrust. An executive based on the duo PSOE-UP would be a government of double standards, "Progressive" in words and even taking some measures; but conservative economic policies and old and outdated structures, guarantor of the unity of Spain and obedient to the dictates of the EU.
…At this time, The first is to support the claim of self-determination and freedom Catalan.
Towards where we go? A bourgeois coalition government would surpass all boundaries of class and diplomaría Pablo Iglesias as a parliamentary monarchical-server "critical" of the regime. Some doubt before the mentioned "Equidistance" between Spain and Catalunya, it would dissipate as it was always: a favorable position to maintain the status quo, who approached the leadership podemita the oppressors and the oppressed away. Reformism continues to demonstrate its limitations to respond to disasters of capitalism, demoralizes and sows distrust in litters of honest fighters.
What to do with the regime? It is ongoing and sustained a deep crisis in time, which will not be resolved with the choice of this or that president, since its origin and genesis are in the institutional framework. Monarchic-parliamentary regime of the 78 You can not provide progressive options to political problems, social and economic of the majority, so you have to defeat him. It is necessary to discuss democratically in a free and sovereign Constituent Assembly, without determining factors when deciding on a new economic order, political and social favor large majorities Let the people define what has to be their own destiny! Faced with the great challenges that lie ahead, from SOL is an urgent need to build a new political alternative, anticapitalist, left, firmly with the struggle of workers, women claiming their rights, pensioners and people; it must be done throughout the Spanish State.
What are the priority tasks? At this time, The first is to support the claim of self-determination and freedom Catalan, which continues to play an ongoing struggle, with calls for the ANC - Omnium, CDR and Democratic Tsunami. The collapse of the Airport, the day of "reflection" of the collective and street 9N and roadblocks border with France, in Catalonia and the Basque Country, of the days 11, 12 and 13N, make an unequivocal way of deepening the struggle. Social solidarity also require claims, and that there are all kinds, and against the reactionary measures such as privatization law promoting Aragonese. And we can not forget that the 23 November is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and will not be a day of celebration but of mobilization and struggle, of commitment to women's rights, of which our anti-capitalist feminism Boards and to the left is part.
