Spain: Podemos proposal for coalition government unmasks real intentions of ruling class
Podemos’ proposal to form a “government of progress” has upset the whole circus surrounding the formation of a new government in Spain.
Podemos’ proposal to form a “government of progress” has upset the whole circus surrounding the formation of a new government in Spain.
“I’d like Spain to get a stable government as soon as possible,” insisted president of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker, a few days ago. The reason why was explained by Eurogroup president Dijsselbloem: “Spain will have to present further adjustment.” European capital has already said that Spain’s budget is off-target and is demanding 10bn euro worth of additional cuts. However, forming the type of government the ruling class needs, is proving very difficult.
After the election results came out, one of the spokespersons of the incumbent right-wing party PP described Spain as “ungovernable”. This is an apt picture of the country at the moment.
