El crispavirus

With his characteristic mastery and the experience of his long journalistic career, Ernesto Ekaizer describes in El crispavirus the reissue of a cycle of contemporary political history in Spain. A cycle of politics lasts. An extreme polarization cycle, this time without terrorism. A cycle that precedes with its virulence -or intends to do so- the governmental changes in our country. It is a known method, which we can call long-term political breakdown, which was already applied in 1993-1996, in 2004-2011, in 2016-2018 and right now, at a time when Spain is besieged by the consequences social and economic issues of COVID-19. If this provoked decomposition finally made way for the alternation during a long period of hegemony of the bipartisanship of the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) and the Popular Party (PP), why should that strategy fail before a Government, that of the PSOE? and United We Can, which lacks a parliamentary majority and is unable to forge solid and lasting alliances?
