A Government that never answers the questions

Sánchez remains unresolved in the ongoing issues surrounding this case, the railway chaos, and the judicial investigations into his closest associates.

The government's response to the succession of controversies and scandals surrounding it and the repeated failures of basic public services such as electricity and rail services was to lash out at the opposition in the Congress of Deputies yesterday. Pedro Sánchez resumed his dismissive and arrogant tone to blame the PP for spreading hoaxes and "entertaining themselves with offal" after Alberto Núñez Feijóo questioned him about the alleged efforts the president made to facilitate the multi-million-dollar bailout of Air Europa during the pandemic.

The president and the ministers have made a habit of not responding to opposition questions in parliament, except to criticize the spokespersons of the other groups, thus distorting both the purpose of executive oversight sessions and the key role played in a democracy by those who must oversee the work of those who govern.

It took more than two weeks since the entire peninsula suffered a power outage lasting more than twelve hours for Third Vice President and Minister for Ecological Transition Sara Aagesen to publicly reveal the source of the power outages suffered by the system that fateful day—located in Granada, Badajoz, and Seville—and finally rule out the untenable theory of a cyberattack, irresponsibly fueled by the government, despite its early dismissal by Brussels and NATO. But Sánchez still hasn't resolved the questions that remain unanswered in this case, in the case of the railway chaos, and in the judicial investigations into his closest associates.
