The old normality!!!

Post by costa-brava »

Just read the Catalan news. Two stories side by side. The first speaks about the tremendous success of Portugal's actions on Covid as The Envy of Europe". Most of their success is down to the level of cooperation between the Socialist government and the opposition.
The other story speaks about the imminent collapse of Sanchez's state of emergency in Spain because the Catalan ERC are going to vote against, the Canary group to abstain and Sanchez is on his knees begging the opposition PP to help him avoid total chaos.
We don't usually speak about politics in LMH but this has real implications for us all.
They can't phase out to the "new normality" if they don't have the legislative authority.

Its the desire for power and control over sense.

Mr M is currently being paid via the Spanish furlough scheme. The co he works for is in tourism. If they don't extend the state of emergency then the likelihood is the furlough payments will stop. Yet his company can't go back to earning any income as no one is booking holidays etc.
Many people are in this situation in tourist reliant areas. They will be abandoned.

Looks like Sanchez has secured enough backing to get the amendment through.
Some guests just need a sympathetic pat. On the head. With a hammer.
