One of the reasons why politics is so discredited in Spain is the lack of coherence of many politicians.<\/p>\n
This lack of coherence consists of saying one thing and then the opposite, out of pure convenience<\/strong>, sending the message to all Spaniards that the word of certain politicians is worthless and cannot be trusted<\/strong>, a feeling that sadly for many Spaniards ends up being applicable to all politicians, even those who do not betray their commitments.<\/p>\n For years I have been warning that one of the Spanish politicians who cannot be trusted is Alberto N\u00fa\u00f1ez Feij\u00f3o<\/strong>, the current national president of the Popular Party. I have explained many times the deception he made in 2009 in Galicia, promising linguistic freedom<\/a> and then betraying his promise. A deception because of which 15 years ago I made the decision not to vote for the PP ever again.<\/strong><\/p>\n Yesterday, the president of the PP once again demonstrated his lack of credibility. In a chat with journalists, Feij\u00f3o praised the separatists of Junts<\/a>, the party of the fugitive Puigdemont and the separatist coup of 2017, affirming that he is \"consistent with his ideas\", that he has \"affinity\" with him and that he is a \"valid interlocutor\"<\/strong> for the Popular Party.<\/p>\n You don't have to go back one or two years to see this new change in Feij\u00f3o's discourse.<\/strong> You just have to go back a few months.<\/p>\n On his Twitter account, Feijoo stated<\/a> on February 8: \"As long as S\u00e1nchez's government whitewashes Puigdemont and his partners, we will continue to confront them<\/strong> in the streets and in the institutions.\"<\/em><\/p>\n On the other hand, on March 18, Feij\u00f3o called for not trusting Junts<\/a>, stating that this party, the PSC and ERC \"are three legs of the same project of institutional rupture\"<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n At a public PP event on May 3, Feijoo accused Puigdemont<\/a> of \"frivolity\" and of \"believing himself to be the master of the people and insulting everyone who does not share his opinion\"<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Likewise, in another message on his Twitter account, on August 8, Feij\u00f3o stated<\/a>: \"Puigdemont intended to remove Catalonia from the State<\/strong>\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n Right now I don't have to make a great effort to imagine what many PP voters must feel<\/strong>. It's the same thing I felt 15 years ago when Feij\u00f3o made fun of me, as he did with many Galicians, after asking us for our vote by promising \"linguistic freedom.\"<\/p>\n ---<\/p>\n
