A meeting to whiten Sánchez's damaged image

That meeting alone served to whiten Sánchez's international image, which was very damaged after the massive protests in Spain against the socialist coup and after the criticism of the socialist leader heard recently in the European Parliament. But Feijóo has gone even further: he has given in to Sánchez on two important issues without the Socialist Party (PSOE) and its communist and separatist partners stopping their attack on the rule of law.

Sánchez refuses to stop his attack on the rule of law

It should be noted that this attack was mentioned in the meeting. According to the PP has announced on its website, Feijóo called on Sánchez to stop this blow to the rule of law, "to respect the equality of all Spaniards before the law, return to the rule of law and withdraw the amnesty law." "He told me no," said the president of the PP. Feijóo has also pointed out that Sánchez refused to guarantee neutrality in the institutions and to cancel his decision to give the mayor's office of Pamplona to ETA sympathizers. Sánchez also refused to inform the president of the PP about the meetings with the Junts separatists abroad with the presence of an international mediator.

Feijóo gives in on the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary

Under these conditions, the logical thing would have been to abandon the meeting and reject any new appointment until Sánchez stops his attack on the rule of law. Instead, Feijóo has agreed with Sánchez to renew the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), the last institution that the socialists have not yet managed to assault. This renewal would be done with a reform of the Organic Law of the Judiciary (LOPJ) simultaneously, to guarantee judicial independence.

The PP whitewashes Sánchez's use of an international mediator

According to the PP, the agreement involves "adding the European Commission to the negotiation, so that it can unequivocally supervise and certify that the renewal of the CGPJ is undertaken simultaneously with the reform of the election method." That is, Feijóo has accepted a pact with Sánchez that includes an international mediator, the same procedure that Sánchez is using with his meetings with the separatists in the foreign. This will help the socialist leader to whitewash before public opinion the use of the mediator in his meetings with the fugitive Puigdemont.

Furthermore, the government representative in the negotiation will be Minister Félix Bolaños, who "already tried to deceive the PP" in past negotiations on the governing body of the judges, according to that party. It is not difficult to imagine what the result will be if the same actors are repeated.

They also agreed to open the melon of constitutional reform

As if the above were not enough, Feijóo has also given in to the reform of Article 49 of the Constitution, "with the textuality and conditions agreed upon by PP and PSOE a few months ago, without under no circumstances should it be used to hold a referendum." That is to say, that opens the melon of the constitutional reform and trusts Sánchez so that he does not take advantage of it to introduce other changes , which would serve to shield some of his reforms, as well as his pacts with the separatists.

The PSOE mocks Feijóo after the meeting

If something has become clear in recent years in Spain, it is that Sánchez has lied countless times, but despite this Feijóo still insists on trusting him, an incomprehensible attitude that will serve the socialist leader for two things: repair its deteriorated international image and deactivate the protests in the streets, which began at the beginning of November and still continue today on Ferraz Street in Madrid, next to the national headquarters of the PSOE. In case anyone believed that the socialists would not take advantage of this opportunity, after the meeting the PSOE has published a message on Twitter mocking Feijóo.

The clumsy image that Feijóo has transmitted with this meeting

The transfers to Sánchez have not been the only criticizable aspect of this meeting. Furthermore, Feijóo has given the socialist leader several smiling photos, photos that the Efe agency, controlled by the government, has rushed to disseminate, since they serve to destroy Feijóo's messages. denouncing Sánchez's attacks on the rule of law. How are they going to believe in Brussels that what Feijóo said is happening in Spain, if they see him having a laugh with the author of the coup? Of course, what is happening to the Popular Party is no longer just clumsiness: it seems determined to be the footrest of socialism in Spain..
