The landscape is becoming rarer. As if we didn’t have enough ideological garbage, now to those of Virtues he has given them to get his head out of the cave and establish himself as a party, after years of presenting himself, now and then not, as an opinion group (?). In case anyone has forgotten who we’re talking about, it’s those extremely conservative apocalypticists who defend a country model based on sovereignty, respect for institutions and one’s own identity. A declaration of principles that is so generic does not mean anything, because is there any party that would stand out from these proclamations? Another thing is the interpretation that is made and how these values are ranked.
The question raised by the experts consulted is why they have now decided to take a step forward. And the answer is coincidental. The first reason is that they think we are in the right context for them to make money as a pressure group. The second is that they did not have any party member willing to lead an electoral battle, not now either, but at least they can put on the table the names of Xavier Altimir or Josep Majoral (although they will hardly close lists to present themselves in the next elections). His problem is not the ideology itself, which pivots around tradition, more room for the private initiative, public safety and national prioritywhich has a following in the country as it has shown Carine Montaner. The stumbling block they run into when they make their debut in society is that they pass on the message that old-timers want to do politics. If the image is still politicians like Josep Duró, Albert Font, Jordi Farràs or Robert Callthe doors to the new electorate do not open because they are identified with a more than amortized generation and practically unknown to young people aged 20 to 35. Those who should be the future – if they intend to have one – are neither there nor expected. Wow, they could have a certain route on the national political map if they knew how to read it correctly and articulate accordingly.
Its main problem is that the faces visible are those of a lifetime
‘What’s up with me’
The ultra-conservative formation follows the general tendency to move in a program of political action that mixes apparently contradictory ideological ingredients: economic liberalism only when it is convenient, protectionism when it is of interest, flexibility when it comes to reconciling principles that would hardly coexist in the same political proposal and never concretizing any measure. For example, in the matter of rents, they are to take the chainsaw and cut as much as possible the intervention of thestatuswhile they are extremely protectionist with economic opening and are against the agreement with the EU. From here, whatever is needed, what it is about is to present yourself at the headquarters of yes and ask qué hay de lo mio in exchange for a few votes. The prebends can be in the form of positions, as eligible positions on the lists or approximations to their ideological postulates, especially with regard to land –town planning plans – and in the flats – total liberalizationthe They will have to wait to find out who the candidate is Yes, because if it is Ladislaus Baron they will have a much more limited route than if it ends up being so Conxita Marsol, or even Jordi Alcobé (which would mean that yes would have definitely tilted to the right). If finally it is marsolto Virtues heaven is opened to them, while the door of Wake up Laurèdia is irretrievably closed, which would enter into a block confrontation with Concordia and PS occupying the space on the left. Now, whatever the case may be, they have a well-founded conviction that they can agree on something, because there are still votes to Andorra Go ahead already concordbut the main victim is yes
They would remain mainly in DA, but they will not be able to close a national list
The Majoral riddle
One of the names that most attracts the attention of the executive that they presented is that ofex-consul from Laureate Josep Majoral. What doesn’t UL represent? Or it has been canceled d‘UL? The answer to the first question is no; nor does he mobilize the people of the party, who do not even see him as one of their own. And in the second it is also not; he has not left the training, but has been removed from it, according to the same sources. An irreversible reality. The day he decided to appear at the meetings of the state pact for Europe publicly discrediting the Pintat, factotums ofUL and of Tercaviawho were against it, signed his political death sentence. But with no other door left to knock on and looking for a way to get back on the front lines, he’s positioning himself to be the leader he needs Virtues. Ideologically it fits in perfectly, but there is one factor that rules it out: it doesn’t happen among the group’s promoters. However, it cannot be ruled out that they make a virtue out of necessity. Xavier Altimir is another matter; his handicap is that of electoral roll, the fair one.
