A risk is the proximity of an injury, or, in other words, the result multiply the cost of an event made possible by the probability of occurrence. Therefore it is said, with truth, that the risk is high if the potential harm esmuy great, and the likelihood of considerable. The potential harm to accept, reject or make a hack with the proposal of the Statute of Catalonia is obvious. Is a substantial increase in regional tensions, which may anger more in a country that has a state of autonomous in a precarious balance since it was designed deleted by its Constitution, and that in 30 years of governments of all political stripes, has failed to develop a strong culture of English constitutional patriotism. With these institutional and cultural foundations, not very strong, the probability that the damage is considerable potential is realized because either approving the substance of the proposal of the Statute (with sections on the Catalan nation, shielding skills, and bilateral funding included), and Here the English state would be reduced to a shadow and the frustration of many English would be great, or is rejected in substance, and in this case the Catalan political class, given their expectations, would suffer a profound disappointment, or approving playing with ambiguity and wanting to please everyone, and in this case it is normal that satisfies no one and the remaining outstanding problems, but with more people suspicious than before. Quite
citizens perceive this risk, and, according to recent surveys, 46% of English, and 31% of Socialist voters believe that the draft statute represents "a threat to the unity of Spain", and 47 % of English and 58% of Socialist voters believe that "significant changes must be made in it to make it acceptable." At the same time, the level of confidence in the socialist leader who could lead such changes 28puntos has fallen over the past 18 months (from 66% to 38%). Ie, enough English seem concerned by the problem and losing confidence in the ability of current leadership to resolve it.
The overwhelming majority of the public, attentive and concerned, he is English, and cares about the symbols, names, and the principle of sovereignty one, indivisible and indispensable part of the English nation. Be attentive to their interesescuando concerned to discuss the financing of the system since it has become accustomed to the idea that we are all equal, which implies that all regions are; want utilities homogeneous and analyze the balance made between regions, can look not only tax a few years, but also trade, financial flows and human resources dating back many years ago. In addition, many think that Spain lacks a functioning state and suspect that this proposed statute leaves us one too weak to current times.
There are situations of terror and war are not resolved with words. Immigration raises disturbing. The march of globalization has many on edge. In Spain you need a state actor in Europe, and the voice of that State or its absence, it shows when its citizens (and their companies) have to go around the world and defend their interests.
With these feelings and ideas in mind, the English can get lost sometimes in the welter of the 111 pages of the proposal of the Statute, with its preamble diffuse the 227 detailed articles and additional provisions, transitional and final, but they understand the merits, and are worried about a socialist leaders whose capacity will begin to be problematic and whose clarity begin to doubt. These leaders seem firmly in the forms, peroson ambiguous in content. At this point it is uncertain whether they will respect the essence of the Catalan proposal or change it substantially. Maybe bet on the volatility of public opinion, while claiming the faith of believers yfustigan his opponents, and rely on a final scramble, the staging of a commitment to double bottom, a miraculous recovery in extremis, a sigh of relief and a vote grateful. But this, forget the trail of mistrust that are leaving the road.
For now, people are ambiguous conduct that is because either the Socialists do not know what they want, and that their competence questioned, or they know but do not want to say, and that question its veracity, or want two things contradictory at the same time, and that questions his consistency. Come say they want the Statute of Catalonia (Pasqual, I promise, I will support the statute passed by Parliament of Catalonia, "Zapatero dixit), but they want so much that I want to change. They do not want to change substantially but make it compatible with the Constitution, which is the substantial change. And when they say they want change thoroughly (and let "clean as a whistle") do not have the votes for it and attack the only party which could be supported for a similar shift, suggesting that in fact do not want to. Quosque tandem Catilina? Hastacuándo Catiline "will tell us two things contrary to the same time? How you run out of voice or until we run out of patience?
Socialists have not yet realized that the flow of public confidence, including your age, is limited. And what's worse. They do not realize that not only deplete the country's confidence in them, but are at risk of losing its own confidence in themselves. His identity is linked to the fundamental ideas of creating solidarity and to Spain, and if they lose their connection with these two ideas are lost themselves. They do not foster solidarity rulers who increasingly widen the gap that separates them from the center right of this country, which draw on the collective imagination as an extreme right, nor can they justify this excess rhetorical opponent's attacks, because they are the rulers of the English including many millions of voters of his rival, and the office of ruling required, to them more than anyone, to a special restraint in words and gestures.
can not pretend to build a political community on just bitter feelings hidden by soft words and can not establish a harmonious atmosphere with words to the Civil War, with repeated contamination of the opponents as being linked to the Franco regime and the deployment, at times, challenge attitudes and animosity to religious sentiment part of society. The erosion of solidarity in Spain for its division into ideological blocs territorial fragmentation is added to the momentum of distributive conflicts between communities and the centrifugal inclinations either, with the aggravating factor that the Socialists have always defined as guarantors of a solidarity based on a strong state, and are now themselves weaken this foundation. At the end of this process can be very little about the identity and tradition of English socialism. The Spain of the transition was made possible by the contribution of the English Socialists in a leading role shared with others. Only then fell behind the Spain of charanga and tambourine, the Spain of hatred Cainites. Only Spain and was rebuilt.
constituents would be regrettable if the Socialists and the ruling Socialists of those years rest to go down in history as the makers of Spain yesterday, and witnesses of getting rid of the Spain of today.
