(00:00):
The four days since Sanchez opened aparenthesis of uncertainty about its continuity have corroborated
my first impression. We have experiencedan irresponsible overreaction that has set the state
in motion for the sole purpose ofhaving the President still camouflaged a personal problem
(00:25):
under a political cover. It mayseem tough, but it' s the
only explanation that makes sense. Thesefour days. No one has doubted that
the facts published about Begoña Gómez's relations with some companies were true.
(00:45):
No one has filed a complaint forinsult or slander. The interpretations have,
of course, been questioned, andI am the first to say that some
media have loaded the tins and thatI do not see the slightest hint of
crime. But I also say thatthe fact that a judge opens informative proceedings
(01:10):
is our daily bread in a democracy. If no new elements arise, it
will either close them or the hearingwill close them. There' d only
need to be someone uninvestigated. BegoñaGómez is an intelligent, consistent woman who
(01:32):
specializes in the promotion of OSODS.Before Pedro Sánchez was not used to the
exaggerations, the bulls and the nonsenseslip him, why did her husband have
to write her a love letter witha copy to all the Spaniards on Wednesday.
(01:55):
Only they know it and perhaps noone else will find out in one
he has decided to face his personalcrisis behind the closed doors of family intimacy.
He may be reproached for the delayannounced, but not otherwise. Without
any politician, nor the number twoof the party and the government, nor
(02:19):
its ever serene and faithful ballaños,nor the impetuous scavenging, nor Zapatero,
nor she that is so much atstake these days, nor anyone, without
any politician, has participated in thesearch for a solution. The problem has
not been political, right- wing, far- right, or bagpipes.
(02:40):
The human condition and point Sánchez hasperhaps had a family problem that, in
fact, shows that he is aperson like the others and that public life
imposes sacrifices and renounces very difficult toassume for too long. You have to
(03:05):
have the sense of the duty ofkings and the courage of queens to endure,
whatever comes. Any further speculation wouldbe intrusive. The foreseeable thing is
that when he communicates the result ofhis reflection, Sanchez will not give any
(03:27):
details either, because, as bitGenstein said, it is the most lucid
sentence of his tractatus. What youcan' t talk about, it'
s better to shut up. Butin such a situation, the most convenient
thing for everyone would be for Sanchezto leave office, because if he continues,
(03:49):
a vulnerable flank will always remain open, He will always purge a wound
on which someone will throw salt againThe precedent of his hesitation will accompany him
until the last day and hear.Sanchez is not a mass leader, he
is not the savior of progressism.Less than a tenth of those who protested
(04:13):
against his Amnesty, less than aquarter of those who participated in the Madrid
Marathon this Sunday came from all overSpain on Saturday to ask him to continue,
among other things, because even hisown do not understand what is going
on. Sánchez is only the seventhhead of government of constitutional democracy and has
(04:42):
been lucky that circumstances allow him toleave the Moncloa better than his six predecessors.
It' s up to him andhis family to do it.
