Reality surpasses fiction. Hence, in this case, I took a leap in my reading tendency for crime novels, historical, intimate or fantasy, to fully introduce myself into politics and current affairs, a kind of science fiction with touches of thriller where citizens leaf through the pages from day to day between astonishment, despair, stoicism, nihilism, detachment and all the negative feelings that want to add to everything that surrounds politics in this country.

Jesús Cintora presents us with a complex panorama, open since the recent fall of the bipartisanship. A new political space in which leaders move between uncertainties, panic, betrayals, immobility, improvisation and large doses of ignorance of the immediate political future in a status quo never so variable.

As in a melodramatic feature film, Rajoy survives everything and everyone. The new parties try to find their place while the traditional press subjects them to vilification day in and day out as well. The most "mathematical" result of the new game entry is that there are no chairs for so many asses. Hence the comings and goings of betrayals, the accidental appearance of corruption cases. Anything goes to continue having a chair (They are like children in the old game, remember?).

Between 2014 and 2016 there are a whole chain of ad hoc strategies with which the old parties try to perpetuate the system that has fed them for so many years. Reality is peppered with cases of corruption, the Crown appears in full distress, nationalisms regain strength. The circumstances call for drastic measures. Measures that serve as a spell among those of always in the face of the threat of the new and the unknown.

Spain has been moving in a kind of state of exception to stop the uprising of the enemy of the Public and the usurpers of the established.

In light of the facts, it may not have been that serious. Things are still in place. The people continue to be duped into post-truth and the politicians continue to weather the other truth, the one that survives as best it can the prefixes, the continuous assault of all Principle and self-destruction.

Survive, that's it. Rajoy as a survivor, not for his own qualities but for general needs of the old politics. Next chapter ... tomorrow.
