Today,
at 20:00 we will now what the future of a new generation in Spanish
politics will be like, the only party to the left of socialdemocracy
that has proven itself to be capable of attracting five milllion voters
after two years of its creation in a party where the bipartisan system
was taken for granted and politics was not an issue anymore, the thrive
of a democratic socialist as well as populist formula was not to be
expected in Spain as it was not a specially left or right wing country,
but everybody knew what was happening, deep inside of each Spanish
citizen there was a thought, an idea telling them corruption was law and
inequality was order, and PODEMOS was able to transform that thought
into a voice thanks to a purely angry and populist rethoric, this was
the best option in a Spain that had one right wing party that was
performing at its baddest and in an anti democratic way at the moment,
but today the message is not effective anymore. Spaniards are thankful
for having a new government coalition in which there is a certain
message of centrality, moderation and democracy, and that means the
liberal party, the social democrats and the conservatives are now seen
by citizens as the same political privileged and inconvenient class that
needs to be changed, and the only way PODEMOS can achieve being
recognized as the real left wing alternative is not the same formula
applied in the former political situation, the municipality organization
in citizenship meetings is very democratic but has failed miserably,
and democratic socialist policies are regarded as purely socialist by
most citizens that would label themselves as leftist but are scared of
such an agressive speech, the strategy must be from my point of view not
to follow the same path as current leader Pablo Iglesias proposes but
to follow the plan of Iñigo Errejón, taking the political fight to the
democratic institutions by actively proposing laws in favor of democracy
and equality and in a way abandoning the idea of democratic socialism
for a reinvention of socialdemocracy, not the socialdemocracy that has
governed Spain serving the interest of the wealthy and let down citizens
expecting a change in our democratic model, but a socialdemocracy that
cares not only about making sure nobody dies in winter because of a
lack of resources and get decent public services, but also of actively
fighting in institutions at a European and international level,
promoting sanctions against all countries violating human rights no
matter commercial interests, welcoming 30000 refugees and making the use
of green energies a priority, have a good day.
