There is a pretty relevant conclusion to be drawn from the elections in Spain this week. The Communist Party - which encompasses the Greens too - has been almost pushed out of the competition! Especially in Catalunya where they have been losing supporters since the formation of a the coalition with the socialists ... thank God.
Years ago they were doing a proper job pushing the government to be a little greener, which is a really good thing, but since they had the chance they just began enjoying all the benefits that being in the government gives you, and just banning every initiative or infrastructure that may help building a better country.
You can’t just say NO to everything, they have been acting just as snoby-trendy-exmarxists. Criticizing always everything but nothing to say (now and before) about the massacres in the old USSR, Romania, Cambodia or the lack of human rights in Cuba.
Go home, relax, take a deep breath and began feeling comfortable with people’s disenchantment because the very first time you can be in the government and you act as you did, showed people they should be more careful next time.
