An atom of truth

The Constitutional Court's ruling on the Amnesty Law may have been detected by the radio telescopes of a distant civilization. If someone is observing us from some corner of the universe, they will have picked up strong energy emissions coming from the northern hemisphere of the exoplanet Earth, which orbits a distant star called the Sun in a rather boring region of the Milky Way. The emissions began to be detected two years ago and have grown extraordinarily intense in recent weeks. Latitude: 40°24'59.4" N. Longitude: 3°42'9.2" W. If the distant civilization possesses advanced technology to listen to the radio emissions that accompany this burst of energy, they may have been able to decode a message: "He who can, let him do."

Scientists from that distant civilization are trying to decipher the meaning of that signal. A burst of gamma rays, a plasma jet, or a high-intensity convulsion in a chatty society. The provisional conclusion is that they have found the vestiges of a distant pronouncement . A call to gather forces to move something. They are studying it. Some scientists believe they have identified the coordinates 40°24'59.4” N / 3°42'9.2” W in the celestial atlas. A noisy place, the records say. Madrid DF would be the name of the focus.

Indeed, we have witnessed a major political mobilization over the past eighteen months. I can attest to that. I've been following political news in Madrid for twenty-one years, and I've never seen anything like it, not even during the last three gamma-ray bursts. I'm going to remember them.

The arrival of the new Catalan Statute to Congress in the fall of 2005, an event greeted with a cordial call for a boycott of Catalan products. A sudden explosion of negative energy that caused serious damage that persists to this day. They wanted to kill the revision of Catalan autonomy, but they also wanted to eliminate Mariano Rajoy , whom they considered too soft.

There was another very strong outburst when negotiations for the end of ETA began. There were constant demonstrations, cries of betrayal. They even tried to plaster Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba , now considered a great statesman by the very people who insulted him. Gifted with a keen sense of humor, Rubalcaba would occasionally show off the written threats he received daily.

While the Constitutional Court ruled on the Amnesty Law, the People's Party (PP) and Vox voted with Junts.

There was another strong gamma-ray emission in June 2014, immediately after the abdication of King Juan Carlos and the emergence of Podemos in the European elections of that year. The abdication could have caused a dangerous failure in the system. Rubalcaba worked hard to maintain the PSOE as a constitutional bridgehead. Podemos, with expectations ahead, with the ambition of generating a broad movement, refused to sign a manifesto in favor of the Third Republic promoted by the United Left. With the two main parties together under 50% of the vote, the first Podemos party refused to attack the monarchy head-on. When they reached 26% in the polls, the system panicked. The response was to try to prosecute them on trumped-up charges. More than twenty judicial proceedings came to nothing. They didn't succeed in putting them in jail, but they soured their tempers and unbalanced them. They turned on each other and turned them against each other. Today they're broadcasting from Radio Tirana. Some don't agree, and others already imagine the PSOE in ruins.

None of those three outbreaks compares to what we've experienced in Madrid over the past eighteen months. Seven consecutive demonstrations against the Amnesty Law. That National November with daily rallies in front of the PSOE headquarters on Ferraz Street, monitored by Tuker Carlson , one of the main propagandists for the American MAGA movement. Extreme pressure at all levels. A deafening noise.

Trump's fury gives oxygen to Sánchez, but Washington has many resources, many

Pedro Sánchez 's government was in a position to withstand such intense pressure until the Civil Guard discovered the double life of the PSOE's organizational secretary. Santos Cerdán 's hidden agenda breaks every script in Baron Noir , the great French political fiction series. The crater opened by the troika of hard men in the socialist apparatus is deadly. There's a lot of radioactivity in there. A lot of disappointment. Donald Trump 's fury gives Sánchez oxygen, but the US presidency has many levers of power. Many.

Even Archbishop Luis Argüello has joined the pronouncement, slyly inviting the King to force the calling of general elections. It seems that the president of the Spanish Episcopal Conference also wants to take action against the new Pope Leo XIV , who has just spoken out against rearmament, using the words of Francis .

Amidst so much tension, a poetic event occurred last Thursday. Hours after the Constitutional Court's ruling on the Amnesty Law was announced, while military spending was being discussed in The Hague, the Popular Party, the Navarrese People's Union, and Vox cast their votes for Junts to approve a motion in favor of tax cuts. I was moved by that sliver of truth. A shining sliver of truth that explains twenty years of Spanish politics.

If they fail to kill Sánchez with such a massive and concatenated force, we will be facing a truly cosmic phenomenon.
