That unemployment is falling for the eighth consecutive month, something never seen in our country, is great news, except for those who, with their magic crystal ball, had dedicated themselves to predicting the ruin and end of Spain. Good thing they're not futurists because they would have lost their credibility, although I don't know if they have any left.
These are times to be united and work without paying attention to political colors. Citizens need projects and investments, and this requires political formations to demonstrate a sense of state. And it is curious that precisely the lovers of the homeland, those who call themselves good Spaniards, are the ones who have demonstrated it the least.
Last week, the PSOE announced its offer to the Popular Party to negotiate the budgets in those autonomous communities where we are in the opposition. The reason is simple: now that Spain is heading towards economic recovery, institutions need stability, consensus, and dialogue among all forces.
How different is the image that is perceived daily in the Congress of Deputies, where the leader of the opposition behaves like a spoiled child with whom no one wants to play at recess. That's why he dedicates himself to shouting to get attention until someone pays attention to him. But, to his misfortune, despite having tried to seek the destruction of Spain, no one in Europe pays attention to him and they even reproach his attitude.
We cannot demand a sense of state from them when they believe that Spain belongs solely and exclusively to them, even if it is only to plunder it. Now they may have bigger problems to solve internally, as even the fights no longer stay within the family. Dark times are looming over Génova 13. Citizens will continue to wait for them, although really, at this point, many of us don't expect anything.
