THE ELECTION DATE OF 20-N IN SPAIN

Political battle

After a long and tedious initial election campaign, initiated in fact from the very moment that President Zapatero announced, on July 29, the call for early general elections, we fully in the real campaign that will take us until the day of reflection, saturday November 19, and finally, on November 20, we will exercise our legitimate right to vote. Unfortunately, and given that democracy has not fully reached the legislation governing the electoral process in Spain to elect the future deputies, the spanish we have only to resign with the vote an acronym only, or, which is the same, to a closed list where the names are imposed by their own political organizations, with stealing to the citizen of his ability to express their preferences. In short, we can not vote for names, only for the political parties. It is not desirable, but for now, is the only thing you can do.

   It has been the end of a new stage, perhaps the most sad and disastrous, based on results and consequences, of all of our new democracy, in which the spanish have lost almost everything without earning almost nothing, with the patronage and sectarianism as the main signs of identity. Jobs, economy, education, health, justice, and to our reputation abroad, have suffered major setbacks during this period, not only by the drift of the turbulent political and economic situation that is affecting other neighboring countries, also, to a large extent, thanks to the erratic policies of our leaders manifestly unable for to lead a country of the possibilities as Spain, in the international situation difficult moments we had and we are passing, along the paths of progress, development and modernization authentic, while, on the other hand, were buying favors, at any price, and wasting much money on trivialities or multiple projects as amazing as that of "creating a map of innervation and sexual arousal the clitoris labia, "among other frivolities that we could cite.

 

Zapatero "Never again"

On 20 November, those who have survived the endless barrage of promises, more or less miraculous recipes, disqualifications for the political opponent and all sorts of claims designed to capture the vote, or have had the patience or curiosity to read the statements of intent contained in the election programs of parties competing, particularly extensive in the case of PP, we have the opportunity to choose one of the models that we offer the two big parties with a real chance to govern. Without disparagement of other political formations regional or state level, which, in any case, only will be purely testimonial, the truth is that we have to decide if we stay with the devil they know or the good without knowing.

   Faced with a candidate like Rubalcaba, who does everything he can to distance himself from the policies of the once-praised and now blamed Zapatero, who lent his decisive and unconditional cooperation during all his years as a member of his government team, in different and important responsibilities, we find a Rajoy exultant and confident that, with which it has fallen, the emergency situation in which the Country is, and favorable winds that are blowing him, the way to the Moncloa Palace it is completely clear. While the socialist candidate will have to draw upon, without reservations, of all its resources: arguments, subtlety, tricks and powers of persuasion, the popular candidate is firmly convinced that only have to keep using the old Arab proverb that has been used of so skillful: continue sitting at the door of his house for to see pass the body of his enemy. In this situation, and to an impartial observer, it seems that all fish is already sold, but, nevertheless, must never neglect the element surprise. The ability of maneuverability for to alter things of Rubalcaba is virtually infinite, and, surely, has not yet pulled the last rabbit from his hat. The race has just begun and, as with any competition, the final triumph is not always fall on the side of the favorites. For that reason, it is not advisable to advance the champagne to cool.

Gesture very suspect

   As the  opinion polls produced by various means, of one and another trend, expressed full agreement with a large majority to the Partido Popular, yes, the moment of truth, the results confirm these impressions, the only thing that we want, both a team like the other, is that the new government formed by the PP be able to find a way to get us out of the labyrinth in which we have fallen. The road ahead will not be easy, will require sacrifices, and surely will cause collateral damage; the more important, what is really desirable is that it does not fall, solely and exclusively, on the weakest and disadvantaged.

   Since the situation in Spain does not support more experiments, if we want to come to fruition is necessary to correct the direction of the ship. It will require the cooperation of all, own and strange, we need to place each rower in its proper position  and row together in the same direction. Since Rajoy is very willing to do things as God intended, and hope that in this is not going to make mistakes, in God trust we  and that He protect us.
