The congressional birth of the socialists in Seville has already ended and it is the forty-first. This Congress, from the outside and with the temperate spirit provided by distance, I believe is the confirmation of Pedro Sánchez’s policies. There is no longer any doubt, not even for the nostalgic who live to return to a past that no longer exists, of the support for the coalitions with the independentists, for the agreements with Puigdemont in Waterloo, for the amnesty and the future transfers of emigration powers. , while we cry out for European policies in this matter. No one will be able to say that they defend the party by being against the agreements with Bildu or Puigdemont or that they oppose the amnesty. They will be a minority, but they do not defend the majority position. In Seville, from the speeches that have reached us, they replace the concord of ’78 with the civil war policy of the 20th century, respect for the laws and sentences with the intimidation of judges; Freedom of expression is considered suspect and journalistic information a priori guilty… they have unfortunately returned to considering the adversary as the enemy. Yes! There is nothing more than fervent parishioners or enemies, and as you know, anything goes against enemies, and I mean anything.

In short, they have once again brandished their bloody shirt, ready to fight anyone who opposes their practices, their policies. In Seville, the new time, the new cycle, has been made official. A colleague, very estimable personally and intellectually, once told me that the PSOE has always been the same during these almost 150 years. I don’t share that idea. There is a PSOE that was born with Pablo Iglesias out of social need, another that opposes joining the Communist International and another, 15 years later, that surrenders unconditionally to the PCE before and during the Civil War. It is Iglesias, that of Fernando de los Rios and Prieto, but it is also that of those who gave in to the Soviet mirage. I always loved, above all others, the PSOE of Julián Besteiro, a man who, with his political errors, became the strongest moral reference in Spain devastated by the civil war. It was also the PSOE of Felipe González, Alfonso Guerra, Nicolás Redondo and Enrique Mugica… it was my party, to which I joined. This weekend they have buried that political party in the Soviet manner and the party of Pedro Sánchez and José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has officially appeared openly. This is your PSOE, not mine. We saw how in the US the noble and ancient Republican Party became Trump’s party, and today we can say, with more reasons than a year ago, that Sánchez’s PSOE is not the one that co-starred in the Transition, nor the one that collaborated for the approval, with the greatest social support in our constitutional history, of the Constitution of ’78. For something new to be born, everything before has to disappear, the question arises if the new will be better than the previous, if in this case it will be an instrument in favor of concord or confrontation, for reform or to leap into the void, to be in Europe and in the world or to consume ourselves in our village passions. After the applause, the shouts, the outpourings, the Numantine castling of the Socialist Congress, there is no doubt that they have built a bridge from the less dignified past to the present of Zapatero and Sánchez. There is no doubt, the radical and fratricidal inclination has always struggled to emerge and in Seville the crater has opened through which the bad humors that we thought disappeared will emerge; because with more than 40 years of delay, those who defended the rupture over the reformist path have won. The success is so evident that Sánchez’s beatification process has been joined by the exaltation of Zapatero, a person lately known for his passionate and unapologetic defense of the dictator Maduro, who has turned Venezuela into a prison to continue as president of his country. Sometimes, when the scandal was not excessive, he did it clearly without blushing; In recent times, ashamed and with the feeling of having been discovered, defending an ethereal, diffuse, abstract, universal dialogue, between those who lost the elections and those who are in jail, hidden or exiled, and all that caricature of saintly beatitude exclusively to buy the time that the Venezuelan Joker needs to settle in power despite the electoral defeat. But it is not them, Zapatero and Sánchez, who have problems, they have already won. Spain has problems that will be subject to a strategy between Trumpists and Kirchnerists of social division, confrontation of the institutions with a “people”, people that they define and legitimize. The path of collapse that awaits us will be long and painful for all of us, without us knowing if in the end there will be a light of hope or we will simply repeat the history that kept us hostage for almost two centuries (perhaps we discouraged pessimists are wrong, but It is certain that optimists and those who downplay the situation lie, they simply lie). Finally, the time has also come for those who clung with sentimental nostalgia to a place, a feeling, a house that this weekend ceased to exist. The dilemma they face is humanly tragic and politically inevitable: having kept their voice and dignity clear even in the worst moments, since that final orphanhood, will we do something more and something different than what we have done until now?
