The Time Of The Free Spirits

We are so accustomed to Borreguiles political acquiescence of the guidelines issued by his party, that the criticism of Rita Barbera dispensing treatment to Valencia Rajoy has created an unusual stir.

The truth, however, is that, even timidly, some Spanish politicians begin to think for themselves, almost, as if they were whites.

So far, Esperanza Aguirre barely defined itself with more exhibitionism that conviction as a "blank verse" in the Popular Party. But the erratic drift has led Zapatero socialist remarkable statements as Joaquin Leguina and others against him. The last act of indiscipline has starred Rep. Antonio Gutierrez voting against the amendment of the Constitution.

Is that, of course, the former secretary general of the CCOO walks ideological orphan shelter at this time of uncertainty. Another such is happening to his predecessor, José María Fidalgo, but does not hide his disappointment with the traditional left, next to the ideas of Rosa Díez, last week attended a conference of Rodrigo Rato and encouraged the PP to "do well" when rule in Spain.

Thoughts about nothing, therefore, be what it was, although politicians most vulnerable or in need of protection are disciplined party obsequious to him. This is the case of the former president of the Provincial Council of Alicante, Joaquín Ripoll, repositioned as president of the port of Alicante, in another episode in the political occupation of business institutions unemployed, financial, legal or cultural: a real disgrace.

But in front of appeasement and the abandonment of the critical capacity of the majority, often begin the free spirits who do not fit his life as a piece of clay to the dictates of the party.

A special case is the youngest mayor of Paterna, Lorenzo Agustí, who takes initiatives that not only clash with the official preaching PP, in which military, but leave sensitive areas of municipal government in the hands of the opposition Socialists. "Is that Lorenzo does not believe that they have to be in control of one's friends, but the most qualified," says the businessman Manuel Palma, an independent at the front of the finances of the municipality.

We will have to get used to, in these times of crisis, not only economically, but myths and presets, attitudes of true freedom of spirit and not the slavish submissiveness Francisco Camps imposed during his tenure.

Where that freedom of thought and action is now more evident than in the corporate world until recently gripped by an administration that was with unequal fortune according to their degree of submission. Faced with the silence of recently, employers in the size and the shaft of José Vicente González, Juan Vicente Boluda Roig told truths and fists until the morning star.

This is precisely what this society needs to succeed: political, business and union with a free spirit of ancestral ties, ideological and group you can imagine new ways by which to move forward. If not, as the old saying goes, we will continue with the same dogs but are changed collar.
