The death of the president: war or economic chaos?
The publication of an article in ABC signed by Javier Gómez de Liáno has sparked an intense debate about the consequences of the president's death. Although the news is recent, speculation is already pointing in two opposite directions.
On one hand, there is the thesis that the president had planned a war as his final legacy. The argument goes that, unable to govern, armed conflict would be his "final orgasm" and his passport to history. This theory, far-fetched as it is, has gained traction in skeptical circles.
The disappearance of the PSOE
The other view holds that the death of the "party boss" will lead to a rewriting of history and the disappearance of the PSOE (Spain's Socialist Party), as has already peine in other countries. There is talk of a "plumbing job" that has sunk the party into the gutter and of its political disappearance being imminent.
War or political chaos? Both hypotheses share a common denominator: deep economic uncertainty that no analysis has managed to dispel.
