Camps and Rajoy


"The biggest obstacle Mariano Rajoy to get to La Moncloa not called Perez Rubalcaba, but Paco Camps".

That's the thinking of some national PP leaders, who consider the PSOE candidate represents a past unattractive for citizens, given their involvement in the governments of Felipe González and Zapatero, while the possibility that during the election campaign is sit on the dock Valencia president will make your hair stand on end.

Of course this is only a hypothesis. But analysts Madrid Calle Genova have to be balanced, as they do with others that could benefit their rivals: 1) fear of the electorate in a country too right wing, after the egregious socialist setback in regional and municipal elections; 2) the propaganda that the economic situation starts to improve, although not true, 3) a new step of ETA that seems to justify the thesis negotiating the PSOE and 4) the approximation of Rubalcaba Basque and Catalan nationalists with whom close deals.

You see, in politics never have reason for concern, though polls give 15 points to a euphoric PP.

The latest concern lies in the behavior of the autonomous regions, and more specifically of Valencia, with the two main electoral promises Rajoy: transparency and austerity.

Regarding the first, our High Court to force the Consell just to give the documents on the plot Gürtel contracts requested by the group unsuccessfully Commitment. The sentence is preceded by five of the Constitution against the refusal of the Corts to deal with questions of the opposition to it.

This is consistent with the obstructionist attitude of the vice president Gerardo Camps repeatedly arguing that the additional costs of Calatrava in the Ciutat de les Arts are "confidential matters", even if they were paid with money from all Valencians.

Is that the example of transparency that will offer Rajoy?

But what worries the national president of the CP are the accounts of the Government, with a debt of 17,600 million, the second highest in absolute terms Spain and most of all as a percentage of GDP, reaching 17.2% .

So delicate is the situation that has seen Consell to put on the market the last leg of patriotic bonds, despite their hearty interest. There's more: the bulky volume of debt is like a snake biting its tail, growing exponentially to pay interest and force, consequently, new borrowings. In this spiral, the financial costs of the Community during the first quarter of this year have been 246.4 million, very long the highest in Spain, even above those of Catalonia.

It is understandable, therefore, that some believe in the PP than in the Generalitat Camps not only is there a clear criminal risk, but another financier. Too, because, even for someone as warm as Rajoy.
