In defence of Pedro Sánchez, a world reference for political ethics and morality
I find myself in the position of having to break a lance, two, three or however many it takes, in defence of the greatest political figure that has existed, exists and will exist in the history of Spain, of Humanity and of the countless nationalities that populate the Milky Way.
A man... I say a man, a superman! A kind of prophet of the 21st century, a heaven-sent one who, in the earthly guise of Pedro Sánchez Pérez-Castejón, has already written his name in gold letters and capital letters on the frontispiece of the great door of the castles of Disneyland in Paris and Orlando, Florida.
A melting pot of virtues who suffers unspeakably from the public scorn to which the ungrateful subject him in an unfounded manner, for acting as the messiah of the Catalan separatists. I am referring to Carles Puigdemont, the character who professes infinite love for the Hispanic homeland, although with his military helmet-like fringes he has ruined the hairdressing salons of gentlemen in Catalonia and half of Belgium.
Fortunately, the incomparable Sánchez is recognised the world over as a personality who displays the strictest political honesty. Far ahead of the likes of Mahatma Gandhi in India, Martin Luther King in the United States and Nelson Mandela in South Africa, three eminent leaders long gone, but relegated since the exalted Spanish gentleman shines with his own light.
He does not know what it is to deceive
Despite defeat after defeat in the last regional elections, Pedro Sánchez has never renounced his deep, solid and non-existent ethical and moral values - excuse me, instead of "non-existent" I meant to say "imperishable" ethical and moral values -, nor has he reneged on the firm belief that he carries as his banner: me first, you next and whoever comes after me, let them plough on.
A hero who puts integrity, rectitude and decorum first in any of his political decisions, he is always ready to give explanations to deputies and senators and has never been heard to make a rude speech. He has never been heard to utter a rude speech. He knows nothing of shame, but only kind words come out of his mouth, which never contradict his actions and which at all times and in all places tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
He is not known for any deceit, abuse or hypocrisy as Secretary General of the PSOE, much less at the head of the Council of Ministers. His spirit of forgiveness, in favour of reconciliation with those who attempted a constitutional coup d'état, and have reiterated that they will do so again, is demonstrated in the infinite goodness emanating from the text of the Amnesty Law, which the recently re-elected president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, is anxious to translate into Cyrillic script.
To thank for the efforts of those who advocate love and coexistence with those who impose their separatist demands, children from the age of three should voluntarily parade through the streets and squares of Spain. To proclaim with chants that Pedro Sánchez is an outlier, a wonder, an intellectual misunderstood. With drums and trumpets, they should encourage our compatriots to cheer, applaud and even kiss the ground where this anointed of Providence steps, this Miura bull of politics that has fallen into our lot.
The violet book
And the political parties that support him as head of government and are indebted to him, what should they do? I dare to ask his spokesman in Congress, Patxi López -his run, go and tell him-, and two of his most fervent admirers, Miriam Nogueras (Junts) and Gabriel Rufián (ERC), to propose and support him to become Perpetual President (PP) of Spain. He would snatch the abbreviation PP from his greatest rival in the political arena and Spaniards would enjoy a thousand years of prosperity.
As an unconditional supporter of Sánchez -Bambi welcome him in his glory-, I propose to his amanuensis Irene Lozano to start writing the third and definitive book of our praised leader. She, as confirmed by the person concerned, is the final editor of the two masterpieces of world literature attributed to the president: Tierra firme, in 2023, and Manual de Resistencia, in 2019.
As the most recent publication surpasses in intellectual rigour the writings of Bertrand Russell and the one for 2019 is a far cry from Cervantes' Don Quixote in picaresque, I suggest that Lozano should devote herself to compiling Pedro Sánchez's best quotations. Hundreds of his witticisms and denials could be published in a volume entitled "El Libro Violeta de Sánchez", an improved version of Mao's Red Book. AUTHOR'S NOTE: The violet or purple colour would be to give the work the appropriate feminist touch.
Published in small format, so that children can read it in bed before entrusting themselves to the archangel Saint Chez, the first quote in the volume could well be the one he pronounced before the television cameras on 4 November 2019 in relation to the fugitive Puigdemont: "... And I commit myself today and here to bring him back to Spain and bring him to account before justice", or the countless times he has stated that "an amnesty is not possible because it is unconstitutional".
Since he won the primaries for the PSOE general secretary in May 2017, he has given countless orders and counter-orders worthy of framing, and readers' laughter, jeers and guffaws are guaranteed. If Irene Lozano were to do it, the book would be a publishing success, from which could emerge a 13-episode television series of humour that could be called "Si, presidente, lo que tú digas" (Yes, president, whatever you say).
