Sunday’s election result in Germany has shaken the political board in that country, and by extension throughout Europe. And Spain is no stranger to it. For now, Pedro Sánchez will lose another co -religionist at the European Council table … In Brussels, because what happens the social democrat Olaf Scholz will not repeat as chancellor. Last year Sánchez stopped having him with him in the community club to the Portuguese socialist António Costa, although he has now stressed as the new president of the European Council.
What was stated at the polls by the Germans, which in addition to the victory of the CDU of Friedrich Merz It leaves as a holder the climbing towards the second place of the extreme right of AFD, they focus on a reissue of the great coalition among the Christian conservatives victors of the elections with the social democrats of the SPD, the same formula with which he ruled his last years Angela Merkel. Something unpublished in Spain and that seems unthinkable taking a look at the last decade of political history of the country, that in which Sanchez, first as opposition leader and then as a tenant of the Moncloa, has had a predominant role.
The chief of the Executive now claims Alberto Núñez Feijóo – as Sunday did in Granada, during the closure of the Andalusian PSOE Congress – that in Merz’s image and likeness avoids agreeing with Vox. An approach that deliberately forgets the second part of that operation, and that is none other Europe, the PP and the PSOE in our country.
Sánchez’s newspaper library as leader of the PSOE makes its opposition very clear to an agreement of this type, which would leave Vox governance out of the equations of governance, as the socialists intend. In 2016 he made his’ not ‘no’ fortune, chanted so much by the same general secretary of the PSOE and by the main spokesmen of the party every time they had occasion. And the truth is that he consequently led him to the end, because that was the reason for his departure from the leadership of the party in the famous Federal Committee of October of that year. Sanchez opposed Numantinely, against the criteria of many territorial leaders of his party and the so -called ‘old guard’, to easily facilitate the investiture of Mariano Rajoywho had reached legislature agreements with Citizens (CS) and the PNV.
No to Rajoy’s investiture in 2016
Finally, with Sánchez already resigned even from his seat, and with a divided socialist group in which there were deputies who broke the vote discipline, Rajoy was invested in the second vote. The opposite would have focused on an unpublished scenario of third consecutive general elections. The Non to the PP prevailed for him above all, and the following year he won the primaries that supposed his return to Ferraz, machaconally raising a dilemma, which was none other than to “cure or chronify the abstention of Rajoy.” Non to the PP was its main offer to socialist militants.
It is true that at that time Vox was still an extraparliamentary force, but when those of Santiago Abascal They broke with great force on the stage, in the Andalusian elections of 2018, there was no change in the attitude of the PSOE, while the PP then accepted the passive Vox support in communities and municipalities, while they formed coalitions with CS (which under the mandate Albert Rivera also openly despised the possibility of sitting with Vox) until later, between 2022 and 2023, the first coalitions occurred in regional governments between the PP and Vox. All of them broken last year for the rejection of the latter to the distribution of immigrant minors.
In addition to the SPD, the collaboration of other European social democrats with conservative parties or governments before the emergence of more radical right forces is almost current currency. It is enough to see the journey of the Costa’s substitute in front of the Socialists Lusos, Pedro Nuno Santos, to which in just one year Jalona and a deep career of collaboration with the prime minister of the neighboring country, the conservative Luís Montenegro. In a Parliament, the Portuguese, where Chega, the Vox counterpart, is third force, have been several and very important hands of the socialist Nuno Santos. The last last October, when the Socialists refrained from Montenegro’s budgets to avoid electoral repetition, which would have meant the third parties in three years. Neither the German social democrats, nor the Lusos seem, in short, for the work of the ‘is not’.
