In Spain we bury the dead very well, understand the metaphor, the political corpses, whether or not they have left the world of the living. I am going to refer in particular to the political leaders located to the left of the left. During the Franco regime Santiago Carrillo was the "butcher" of Paracuellos, a massacre - the many that occurred in the civil war - stigmatized his figure throughout his entire existence. Once back in Spain he piloted the transition to command the PCE, the party, I will say, the only party that fought the Franco dictatorship from its origins to the restoration or democratic transition. What came next is sufficiently known, he ended his days reviled by those who had been his comrades during the hard years of Franco's regime. The PCE had shown signs of being a democratic party and not a "wolf in sheep's clothing." There are several versions of Carrillo: that of a butcher and an old communist fox, an astute Carrillo, a statesman, the man who knew how to lead the PCE to the democracy through Eurocommunism.
Versions defended by those who after his death remember him as a statesman respectful of the monarchy, forgetting the blackmail to which he was subjected in the model democratic transition. Years later Julio Anguita arrived , you will forgive me Gerardo Iglesias and Cayo Lara , two transitional communist leaders in the worst circumstances of Spanish communism. They had to deal with a legacy of ruptures and splits, among Belgium Mobile Number List others with that of Gaspar Llamazares (IA), an excellent parliamentarian distanced from the orthodox line of the PCE. Anguita, former mayor of Córdoba, experienced speaker, managed to obtain the best electoral results for IU in its entire history (21). If he did not enter the Government of Felipe González it was because he preferred the support of the Catalan and Basque nationalists to those of IU, a party that González despised and did everything possible to humiliate them. With Anguita the cycle repeats itself, from villain to hero, from Aznar 's necessary collaborator (the clamp), to an honest politician who knew how to retire with greatness.
Anguita's sin consisted of rebelling against the arrogance of the all-powerful González, denouncing the liberal social policy of a socialism coupled with the establishment, modernizing and productivist. The golden years of an unbeatable González. Iglesias has been and continues to be the most harassed, vilified, insulted, and despised leftist leader of all political leaders who have walked down the public catwalk. Finally, Pablo Iglesias , whom it is premature to incorporate into the ranks of political corpses. I interpret the resignation of the vice presidency of the government and the jump to the Madrid elections as a prior phase to abandoning the front line of politics. Iglesias is a political animal and he will never leave politics, there are other spaces from which to do and be in politics. From my point of view, newspaper library in hand, Iglesias has been and continues to be the most harassed, vilified, insulted, and despised leftist leader.
