Juan Carlos Girauta Calls Pedro Sánchez a "Corto Gañán"

**Juan Carlos Girauta** criticizes the persistence of childish attitudes in politics, comparing **Pedro Sánchez** to **Largo Caballero** and labeling his management as "gañán".

## The Political Game of the Left

Analyst **Juan Carlos Girauta** describes a supposed tendency on the left to prolong childish attitudes into maturity, which manifests in activities such as mural painting, sentimentalism, and the organization of protests. This attitude, according to his analysis, is aggravated in Catalonia, where he considers it a manifestation of separatism. **Girauta** compares the "volunteer monitors" of these "leisure centers" to politicians who, in his opinion, resist abandoning a youthful stage, hindering their professional development and their ability to address serious problems. He describes how costumes, murals, and excursions are transformed into banners and support for radical movements, exemplifying this transition with the evolution of **Ada Colau**.

## The "Gañán" and the Frozen Rent

**Girauta** points out that this mentality translates into constant demands and overflowing emotion, but a lack of practical knowledge. He cites the **15-M** movement and its successors as an example, whom he describes as people of different ages mobilized towards protests with demands such as the prohibition of evictions. He criticizes the imposition of frozen rent for housing during the Franco regime, a measure that, according to **Girauta**, was eliminated by the **PSOE**, and regrets that his own parents suffered its consequences. The figure of **Pedro Sánchez** is explicitly compared to that of **Largo Caballero**, calling his behavior that of a "Corto Gañán" (a clumsy, uncouth person).

## The Goals of Political Strategy

The author suggests that **Pedro Sánchez**'s strategy seeks to divert attention from issues such as the situation in Ceuta and the alleged alliance of the **PSOE** with drug trafficking networks to threaten judges. Furthermore, he interprets that the objective is to foster street violence as a means to create a climate of alarm or exception that would prevent the calling of elections, or even to manipulate the results. **Girauta** sees in this tactic a reflection of the politics of the thirties, where polarization and social mobilization were used as tools of power.
