When good news can't be good news

Any political group governs in order to improve the lives of citizens, or at least, that's what I think. However, and unlike what happens in other countries, in Spain good news cannot be good news. Sponsored by the three right-wing parties, national politics has become accustomed to developing under a context of permanent tension, disqualifications and an absurd struggle to see which of the three carries the biggest flag on their chest. With the complicity of some media, they try to overlap everything that tries to erase the created image of the "traitor Sánchez."

The Council of Ministers approved last week the distribution of 1,631 million euros for the rehabilitation of homes, being one of the most important areas of the Recovery Plan. The State, through the communities, will provide aid to owners to carry out rehabilitation work on homes, covering between 40% and 100% of the work. Excellent news that will allow us to rehabilitate residential areas and preserve buildings with great heritage value, making them more efficient.

A great breath of fresh air for all those people who, victims of the political neglect of the Rajoy era, have seen their homes deteriorate to the point of endangering their own safety. When we talk about improving the quality of life of citizens, all, absolutely all of us should work in that direction as happens in countries like Germany or Portugal.

The reality is that, unlike other years, Spain has the worst opposition, without a sense of state and seeking the destruction of coexistence to then try to save it themselves. Although we already know how they spend it in times of crisis. Patriots they call themselves. Because looting the public in the name of the homeland, with the complicity of the media, makes it rumble less. A homeland that "fits in a shoebox."

The biggest concern of the far right and the Spanish right is to affirm that the Franco regime was not a dictatorship and to boycott the institutions where they have a presence. But when you hear barking for so long, people get tired or simply don't pay attention to you.

Lend a hand, because we are not going to stop working for the people, that is being a true patriot. You are still on time. With or without you, we will not stop.
