Politics is an engine of transformation and development; a strong wind that puts societies in their place and, in a purposeful way, orders and builds. Now, the buzzword is ‘anti-politics’. It is confrontation, a dividing wall, a way of making virtue an opportunity. Antipolitics is disorder, sectarianism and demagoguery. He flees from consensus and prefers sides, irreconcilable sides of a shore that he keeps conveniently far away. I will not be the one to give names and surnames to one and the other. Judge and place each other in the political box and in its opposite. What I will do is warn of the serious results that the decline of one and the growth of the other is having for everyone, regardless of which side you look at it from. Anti-politics has slipped through the cracks of democracy and has the most relevant sectors of the economy unhinged, in a sea of mud and regulatory mud where they can barely do anything but drag their feet. Do the math: banking, energy, insurance, real estate, self-employed, private healthcare, regulated companies…, no one knows what to expect in a perverse game of transfers to coalition partners who act as vote lenders and charge interest with usury. After all, they already know that the worst plagues are moral ones. The Government’s fiscal reform, filled with new taxes on some sectors and exemptions for others from the chance of interested support, has had to be withdrawn at the last minute, when from the blue chairs in Congress perceived that the tax Frankenstein was breaking down. The nationalists pulled to one side while the extreme left exerted a similar force in the opposite direction. That’s what it’s like to try to belong to everyone, that you never belong to yourself and that, in the end, what you lift in the air ends up spectacularly falling to the ground. The problem is twofold: on the one hand, the economy is suffering unspeakably, in an ocean of legal uncertainty and improvisations; On the other hand, there are discussions about the messages we send to investors as a country that should be a center of attraction for resources and talent. This week there have been two more companies that have put on the table the possibility of leaving Spain in the face of an impossible fiscal horizon: Merlin Properties and Colonial. In the background, the pact between the president, Pedro Sánchez, and his increasingly less vice president, Yolanda Díaz, to beat them with fiscal sticks. Furthermore, no one is surprised now that such a drastic decision can be made, which is eloquent of the way in which attacks on companies are precipitating in a short space of time. Do you remember when everyone was shaking their heads over Ferrovial’s departure? Nobody has said anything now. It is the logic of anti-politics, which turns resistance into the end that justifies all means, whatever they may be. Something important has gone wrong in our country during this conspiracy of fools. Nature sometimes makes a fool, but a braggart can only be the work of men. All of Europe is now looking at us with apprehension about what happened around the floods. Not only because of the lack of foresight, management and leadership, but because of how we have been able to escalate the anger and transfer it to the community institutions, knowing that nothing is ever fixed there, that they are just a Turkish bath where one comes out dripping believing having lost several kilos and in the end all that remains is a warm head, cold feet and all the weight where it was. The economy is on the canvas and another of the increasingly less vice presidents, Teresa Ribera, is on the wire. But do not believe that it is because of the leader of the opposition, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, or to cover the president of the Valencian Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, with sophisticated party strategies. Nothing of the sort. What happens is that Manfred Weber, leader of the European People’s Party in the European Parliament, does not forget the rudeness that Sánchez did to him some time ago, when he did not even wait for him to pronounce his reply and walked away, leaving him with the word in his mouth. Now he takes his revenge, cold and where it hurts, turning Ribera into a pimpampum of European revenge that you laugh at the trips of the current UEFA president, Aleksander Ceferin, to the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez. It’s a pity that in Brussels there is only anti-politics and there is no Real Madrid or a superior being to resolve the mess a la ‘Champions’. The balm for so much evil seems to be leaving X. Nothing to do with Íñigo Errejón, no fear. Everything is settled by blaming the billionaire and owner of the network, Elon Musk, and repeating that he is the culprit of polarization, that he is capable of anything to get richer and until he is going to merge with the social network. of the new president of the United States, Donald Trump, to subvert the world order. For now, we’ll see if the bank tax comes out tomorrow, if they crack down even more on the middle class by reclassifying it as upper class, and if Ribera renounces his bright green ‘woke’ creed to storm the skies of Brussels. This is not a social network. It is a guard court.
