There are certain circumstances in which those who talk and shout the most are those who should be the most silent, for their own good.<\/p>\n
The left tries to blame Maz\u00f3n for everything<\/big><\/p>\n Regarding the cold drop catastrophe in Spain, this past weekend the left and the separatists of Comprom\u00eds launched themselves into trying to take political advantage<\/strong> of the tragedy with the violent demonstration on Saturday in Valencia<\/a>, which focused its criticism on Carlos Maz\u00f3n, from the Popular Party and president of the Valencian Community, in an attempt to protect Pedro S\u00e1nchez and his government.<\/p>\n In addition to this, last week, the PSOE launched a campaign on social networks against Maz\u00f3n<\/a>, with the aim of \"winning the narrative\" on the political management of this disaster. Likewise, the Popular Party has put the spotlight on S\u00e1nchez's government<\/a>, stating that it has left the Valencian Generalitat \"very alone and abandoned.\"<\/p>\n The poor management of Pedro S\u00e1nchez's government<\/big><\/p>\n Certainly, here almost all the parties in the Valencian Parliament are in a bind<\/strong>, so they should think very carefully before trying to use this tragedy against their rivals.<\/p>\n Starting from the top, the negligence of the S\u00e1nchez government (PSOE and Sumar) was evident<\/strong>, giving priority to the assault on RTVE<\/a> to take control of the state television council and delaying up to 4 days the large deployment of the Armed Forces<\/a> in the affected area, perhaps believing that the desperation of the Valencians was would only turn against Maz\u00f3n<\/strong>. The anger of the people of Paiporta against S\u00e1nchez<\/a> on November 3 was the clearest demonstration that the socialists miscalculated their strategy.<\/p>\n The pitiful management of the government of Carlos Maz\u00f3n<\/big><\/p>\n In addition, the Valencian government has acted in a pitiful manner<\/strong>, with a succession of incompetences that aggravated the effects of the cold snap disaster and which, in addition, destroyed the political strategy of the Popular Party<\/strong>, which consisted of fleeing the battle of ideas and focusing all its discourse on offering good management. In addition, the PP can hardly criticise the PSOE, since on 31 October, Maz\u00f3n thanked S\u00e1nchez for his \"closeness\" and \"coordination\"<\/a>, a completely absurd thank you<\/strong> which also contradicted the criticism of the government by his party's leadership.<\/p>\n If the government saw that Maz\u00f3n was incapable, why didn't he take command?<\/big><\/p>\n It is difficult for the PSOE to criticize Maz\u00f3n without shooting itself in the foot. If the Valencian government was incompetent, why didn't the central government take over?<\/strong> It had legal mechanisms to do so<\/a> (for example, by declaring a national emergency, which is logical given that several regions were affected), but it did not do so because it prioritized its political strategy over the lives of those affected<\/strong> by the cold snap.<\/p>\n If Maz\u00f3n believes that the government left him alone, why did he not hand over command?<\/big><\/p>\n Similarly, if the Valencian government found itself alone, it could have given up control of the management<\/strong> to leave it in the hands of the central government, but it did not want to do so<\/a>. Perhaps this decision was due to the fact that if it gave up control, the PP would have lost its trump card of presenting itself as a good manager<\/strong>, an asset that it ended up losing anyway due to the incompetence of the Valencian government.<\/p>\n Comprom\u00eds is an ally of S\u00e1nchez's government: that is why it protects him<\/big><\/p>\n On the other hand, the separatists of Comprom\u00eds and their partners in Sumar cannot pretend that none of this concerns them<\/strong>, as if they were a free verse in Valencian regional politics and in Spanish national politics. Sumar is S\u00e1nchez's government partner.<\/strong> The far-left party has five ministries, as well as the second vice-presidency of the government. In addition, Comprom\u00eds is in the Sumar parliamentary group and is an ally of S\u00e1nchez: without its support it would not continue in the government.<\/strong> They have no choice but to protect S\u00e1nchez, as we saw on Saturday at the aforementioned demonstration, because he is their ally.<\/p>\n Vox's strategic success in abandoning governments with the PP<\/big><\/p>\n I have said before that almost all parties are in a bind, and I have not talked about Vox. That \"almost\" refers precisely to the party led by Santiago Abascal. Although many media outlets close to the PP criticised this, Vox's decision to abandon the regional coalition governments with the PP last July<\/a> was not only an act of coherence with the commitments made to its voters on the subject of illegal immigration, but it has also ended up being a strategic success<\/strong>, which now allows Vox to criticise the PSOE and the PP<\/a> with complete freedom.<\/p>\n Vox sees two of its ideological lines endorsed<\/big><\/p>\n To this success we must add the fact that Vox is the only parliamentary party that criticizes the State of the Autonomies<\/strong>, which has demonstrated its worst consequences in this disaster<\/a>, with a central government that speaks of the Valencian Community as if it were speaking of a foreign country from which it has to ask permission to enter its territory, and with an autonomous government that refuses to give up command despite recognizing itself as abandoned by the central government.<\/p>\n
