It is one of the characteristics of human behavior to deny what we do not want to accept. But reality is stubborn and time makes us see the harsh reality.
The rescue of the Spanish banking system makes Mariano Rajoy land and he has no choice but to accept what he has denied ad nauseam: the country's economy has been intervened and its financial system bailed out.
The Financial Times says so, with no little irony: "Rajoy announces the bank bailout to Spain as a victory." And all the headlines in the foreign press are expressed along these lines, regardless of their editorial lines. "You say tomato, I say rescate," another one ironized.
Faced with international information, which has detected and ridiculed the euphemism immediately, the bravado of the President of the Government. In his press conference, Rajoy told us that he had not received pressure, that, in any case, he was the one who pressured. And he has been so smug.
Winning an election at the cost of lying and selling the solution to a problem as if it were in our hands, when it is global and must be approached as such, is a scam on citizens.
Seven months after the Popular Party came to power, Spanish society wants answers, government actions and public management. And no daily reproaches to the previous socialist government.
Man is master of his silences and prisoner of his words. And so we remind the popular leader: "We know what needs to be done and we will do it," he said during the campaign.
In view of the current situation, it is evident that Rajoy neither knew what had to be done nor even tried to do it. He has limited himself to following the instructions of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is now beside herself with the euphemistic Rajoy, who has thrown a Greece on her that demands for its rescue "the same magnificent conditions as Spain."
The PP has imposed the suppression of social and labor rights in our country, and then put it in the hands of the International Monetary Fund.
Whatever our president calls it.
