How to surrender unconditionally and claim to be very satisfied, content and happy
I am talking about unconditional surrender, the greatest satisfaction that a high civil or military authority, anointed by divine prescription or medical prescription, can exercise on behalf of a state, government or collective that has failed in its mission and gives away or sells at a bargain price whatever it takes.
Surrender without conditions, without quid pro quo, is often accompanied by bowing one's head, in rare cases, by prostrating oneself on one's knees before one's adversary. It is also manifested by handing over the keys to the city, the sword, the sabre or the personal weapon... as a sign that the weaker, defeated force is at the mercy of the more powerful one.
But there are other signs of unconditional surrender. It consists of putting ‘in bad weather, good face’, praising, complimenting and complimenting the victor and, above all, grimacing or even smiling. Smiling slightly over and over again, looking at the gallery, to conceal how much some parts of the body are stinging.
A passionate pre-agreement
The fact is that putting initiatives on the table to divide, anger and confront Spaniards is a refined merit, a sublime pleasure that has rarely been exercised by a head of government in Spain with the brazenness with which President Sánchez acts.
The vast majority of political leaders of the nations of the rest of the world strive in the vulgarity of doing their best to find reasons to strengthen the union, concord and harmony between their countrymen. That's it. A vulgarity.
But that planetary leader Pedro Sánchez, in a display of his countless ethical values, has found the philosopher's stone to increase disagreements, disagreement and discord among Spaniards. His ultimate intention is that the anger, in the end, will burst into greater love for one another.
The beloved president stated at the recent presentation of the government's half-yearly report that, in order to achieve the investiture of Salvador Illa, the pact reached between the ERC and the Socialist Party of Catalonia ‘is a magnificent pre-agreement, which I defend with passion’. He did not dare to say that he was radiant, quite possibly to avoid the derision of many of those present.
His proposal to exacerbate confrontations is based on the progressive negotiating model he practices. He has done it repeatedly and will continue to do so in order to bring his supporters to the highest levels of personal progress, hence the pro-gre-sis-ta government.
Intermediate Steps to Unconditional Surrender
Their enviable method consists of entering into negotiations with the ultimate goal of reaching the ultimate political perfection, which is none other than unconditional surrender to their opponent, whom they shower with praise, as an unmistakable sign of being the weaker of the two parties.
Unconditional surrender has several intermediate steps. The first is to deny it with great fanfare. In this, Sánchez employs his docile and faithful ministers. Nor does he shy away from denying it in person. He has done so, for example, with the pardon and amnesty for the Catalan separatist defendants, and he will do so as many times as necessary.
The second step consists of stating that ‘well, we'll see’ and dragging its feet. And the third is to proclaim the innumerable advantages of unconditional surrender. On the last of these, on the foreseeable ceding of fiscal sovereignty to Catalonia to the detriment of the rest of the Autonomous Communities, Sanchez has claimed to be ‘very satisfied, very content, very happy’.
Many fail to understand the superior reasons that drive Sanchez to act in pursuit of dividing and confronting Spaniards. One has to put oneself in his crocodile's shoes to realise that what it is all about is getting the PSC through Illa into power... at any cost, no matter what.
It is well known that senior PSOE officials have on several occasions denied the possibility of an economic agreement that would cede all taxes to the Catalan executive, but so what! So I reiterate once again: ‘I know you cod, even if you come in disguise’.
