Sánchez has launched another offensive. This time against the CNI. The Government has declassified the information we already knew or inferred from the known. La Moncloa has been selective in the selection of documents. We do not know if it is for the security of the State or for Sánchez’s protection. Although for Sánchez it is the same. The socialists have not “shot themselves in the foot,” as they lament. They try to secure a draw in the confusion.
“We couldn’t foresee it” was the slogan against Covid-19. However, since the end of January 2020, the Sánchez and Iglesias administration ignored European signals and recommendations. In February, Italy was a hotbed of the virus. Late, locked at home and in full uncontrolled expansion, Sánchez and Illa placed us in the “containment” phase; Marlaska tried to cap the information and Simón hid the death figures – now the drowned are hidden and the numbers are also covered up -. The officialdom popularized the expression Echeni… qué “captain hindsight” to mock the opposition.
Sánchez has been in La Moncloa for more than eight years. Remember as long as it lasts that since 2020 every argument of Sánchez has a proven precedent – or a calculated twist -. Sánchez intertwines his fingers and lowers his arms to the height of his groin; his gaze fades for a few seconds. He adopts a victim position and avoids responsibilities. He firmly sponsored the ‘only yes means yes’ law; then he distanced himself. Its perverse effects, despite repeated reports and legal warnings, were… “unforeseeable”.
La Moncloa prepares a divisive and fallacious narrative: “Something is wrong with the CNI if the warnings did not arrive on time: incompetence or betrayal,” it suggests. Sánchez auctions off heads of the Government Delegation in Ceuta. He controls damage and diverts attention. The Government tries to distract from the substance and motivations of its negligence and passivity, compliance with Morocco’s version and subordination to the conduct and intentions of Rabat.
The judge investigates whether the “attack” on Ceuta was an organized and planned operation. The open reports expose the cooperation of the Moroccan authorities, so the question is not what failed, but what had to fail for the operation to be carried out and how Sánchez will respond to the threat and face his lack of independence regarding Mohamed VI. Sánchez proclaims for Ceuta and Spain another “new normal“.
