The President of the Government and the Basque Lehendakari met on Monday with covered cowbells, said to be without the intention of pointing. While Artur Mas and his partner staged their disagreement, Rajoy and Urkullu demonstrated that people understand each other by talking, that great political lesson that Ernest Benach learned from a banal conversation with the King at the time.
Already released from his "yes or yes consultation", Mas has changed his dilemma: consultation or plebiscitary elections. The problem is that his partner in the opposition, Oriol Junqueras, is not willing to coalesce with CiU without prior consultation. The General Policy Debate has been enough to stage the brawl and for the first secretary of the PSC to have been released as valet de chambre, in the best style that the two Spanish parties fulfill for the nationalisms in Euskadi and Catalonia: morroi del caserío for the PNV or palanganer for the meublé de Convergència. Remember the paper that Alicia Sánchez Camacho made with that legislature agreement that only had rope for a couple of years.
The General Policy Debate was the time for Moses to teach his people the tables of the law and take them around Sinai for four decades. This is what tradition asks of the chosen peoples. Juan Josué Ibarretxe announced his plan in a General Policy debate on September 27, 2002.
But in the early stages, even before the Consultation Law, war has broken out. Civil, naturally. The nationalists consider that our last civil wars, the Carlist wars and that of 1936, were wars between Spain against Basques and Catalans, instead of civil wars between Spaniards against Spaniards, including Basques among themselves and Catalans among themselves.
It is enough to separate the Spaniards to see it. The real enemies are Mas and Junqueras, who dispute the position. In Euskadi the same thing happens, with the difference that Urkullu does know that the batasunos are after them. Hence the scant admiration of the Lehendakari towards the Catalan process. Galeusca has become Cagaleus. Hence, the fruits of Monday's lunch in Moncloa were reduced to good vibes and little else.
It's not that Urkullu doesn't feel temptations, that he does. It is that he is not going to alter his calendar based on the accredited political clumsiness of his Catalan counterpart. First he will want to see what happens in Scotland. Then, what happens in Catalonia on 9-N and, finally, facing the great duel that awaits him in May 2015 against Sortu in the municipal and provincial elections.
If one were 'well thought out', I would say that Rajoy and Urkullu have given a small lesson in political pedagogy at their lunch while CiU and ERC had it tough in the Catalan Parliament. The dissonance is that this is precisely the moment chosen by Margallo to announce that if necessary, Catalan autonomy will be suspended. Once again the Foreign Minister dealing with such an internal matter. It is seen that he was already very old when they explained in Sesame Street the rudimentary concepts: Inside / Outside.
