In the end, Zapatero will be to blame for the saturation

A year before the end of the legislature, the Government continues to be installed in the rhetoric of the past and the promise of future management

The legislature of 'containment' approaches its final stretch with a record number of tourists, of illegal activities, resident discontent, and housing prices in an escalation whose end does not seem near. However, if there is one thing the Government is clear about, it is that it is not its fault, and it is true. To say that the Executive is not to blame for having reached this point is almost an obviousness, but the problem is that politics does not end with the diagnosis. The Government is not to blame, but it is responsible for thinking, designing, developing, and applying measures to rectify the situation. If the measures do not work, new ones must be tried. The collapse is not solved only with discussions in Parliament.

The PP followed the usual logic of political strategy and took advantage of any opportunity to play the card of the imputation of the former socialist president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. The award for best performance went to the President of the Government, President of the Government, Marga Prohens, who, not without drama, assured that “time will tell, they will all fall, one by one, and they will pay for the harm they do to Spain and to the Spanish people”. The ministers also mentioned Zapatero's judicial situation, regardless of whether they were talking about a health center or some issue about education. If Def Con Dos sang "the fault of everything is Yoko Ono's", the former socialist president can also serve as a scapegoat. Of course.

But the first place in the ranking of culprits of the PP, whatever the area, is the previous government. The main argument of the popular party to sustain this is that in three years the damage of eight is not repaired. The question is not to delve into what has been done in three years, whether there has been any effective measure in terms of housing, whether the commitment to raise the ITS did not exist and we actually dreamed it, and whether setting limits was not setting them in reality. Examples can be found in the plenary session of Parliament.

To the question of Ferran Rosa (MÉS per Mallorca) about the failure of the Safe Rent program, the Minister of Housing, José Luis Mateo, responded at first: "At least solutions are provided. You, zero for eight years." "With four million euros in masks, there would have been enough for a good guaranteed social income," said the Minister of Health, Manuela García, to the socialist deputy Patrícia Gómez, who was asking him about sanitary transport. In fact, García mentions the Koldo case and the mask case in the Balearic Islands at every plenary session, as well as the doctors' strike, especially when it comes to talking about her management.

"We neither grant amnesty to fugitives for seven votes, nor do we grant singular financing, nor do we release terrorists to sustain a government that does not govern, nor do we have a former president indicted for money laundering," said the Minister of Education, Antoni Vera, to Amanda Fernández (PSIB). What was the question that provoked such a varied response and, as Vera usually does, at an excessive volume? One about the Catalan language requirement for teachers.

The Minister of Tourism, a man of faith

The word 'rhetoric' does not have a univocal meaning and the dictionary gives five meanings. Thus, if rhetoric is "the art of eloquence", it can be assured that the Minister of Tourism, Jaume Bauzà, has no knack for rhetoric. But, if it is a "pompous and empty way of speaking", his skill cannot be denied. When Llorenç PouBauzà also had a dialectical (and rhetorical, depending on our preferred definition) exchange with Bauzà also had a dialectical (and rhetorical, depending on the definition we prefer) exchange with Marc Pons (PSIB), and used worn-out phrases after three years of repeating the same thing. "It is essential to guarantee a development model based on economic, social, and territorial sustainability," he said, as if it were the first day of the legislature. Perhaps he hasn't realized that this model has no guarantee because nothing has been done about this issue. But he believes it, or at least pretends to believe it.

, the accusations of homophobia made against him by the socialist deputy did not go down well at all Finally, it seems that the President of the Parliament, Gabriel Le Senne, did not take kindly to the accusations of homophobia made against him by the socialist deputy Ares Fernández. Le Senne did not stop gesturing while Fernández referred to "hypocritical morality", from which "LGTBIfobic aggressions" are born. He also showed astonishment when Marta Carrió demanded that his attitudes be condemned. It is clear that he does not understand.
