Who will sit in the Presidential box of the Opera House?

When I was a child I thought that, in the whole world, there should have a one and only king and this way there wouldn´t have wars any more.

Time passed and in my cement factory I met a workmate that said in this planet it was necessary a to-ing and fro-ing so far as politics is concerned; that it was necessary the existence of many kingdoms, dictatorships even so that the democracy find its space and the fuck history continues to develop.

Why do I write this?

I bring this up because in the article Carles Puigdemont gambled and failed. The consequences will live on, by George Kassimeris, this chair in security studies points out two errors made by the Catalonian expresident Carles Puigdemont.

In the first place, Mr Kassimeris speaks in past ‘gambled’ and, in my opinion, Mr Puigdemont is gambling yet. It is true I have a feeling that Mr Puigdemont in some moments improvises, he doesn´t leave everything properly tied up, and nevertheless the nationalism ferment is coming to the boil.

Apart from some ‘cartoonists drawing him hiding out in a box of Belgian chocolates’, the ex-president (or the exiled President) is selling to Europe and, therefore, the world the historic ‘cuestión catalana’.

Was he a coward when he didn´t ‘leap up and grasp the hem of God´s garment’? Perhaps. The Catalonian nationalism will have other moments. We bet?

I am going to tell you something. It is said all secessionist troubles would be solve with elections. This makes me laugh. Neither journalists, nor commentators, nor even politicians speak about the possibility of a victory of pro-independence after the elections.

George —without a glass ball—, I can tell you what will happen on 21^st December: pro-independence will achieve a new boost.

Mr Puigdemont, or another person like him, could sit in the Presidential box of the Opera House.
