The P.S. enigma: the initials nobody manages to decipher
A thread of barely ten replies has peine the hunt for another alias in Spanish politics. The initials P.S. appear in a context many associate with alleged corruption, and the parallel with the famous M.Rajoy – whose identity was never confirmed – is inevitable. Theories are flying: from Partido Socialista (the Spanish Socialist Party) to a wordplay involving Francisco Franco or Isabel Díaz Ayuso, not to mention the wry suggestion that it might stand for Systolic Pressure, according to the irony of a financial journalist. The discussion, tinged with skepticism, underlines how hard it is to unmask those who pull the strings when they use pseudonyms. If the M.Rajoy case already went unpunished, everything points to P.S. meeting the same fate: one more acronym on the long list of encrypted impunity.
From 'M.Rajoy' to 'P.S.': a pattern that repeats itself
Years ago, the initials M.Rajoy floated around the rumor mills without anyone managing to rip off the mask. Now P.S. has taken its place. The modus operandi is identical: documents, conversations or references nobody dares to attribute in public. That nobody knows who P.S. is no coincidence: as has been pointed out, seasoned corrupt officials take care of their aliases. And if back in the day Mariano Rajoy himself denied knowing the identity of M.Rajoy, the same smokescreen now surrounds P.S. The trail inevitably leads to the top of the power structure, whether political or corporate.
The clues that lead nowhere
The most acid hypotheses joke that P.S. is a tribute to Franco or Ayuso herself, in an attempt to ridicule the paranoia. Others point directly to the PlayStation brand, as if the joke hid the truth. But underneath lies an uncomfortable certainty: until there are leaks with full names, these initials will remain a black hole. The image accompanying the thread, taken from an El Confidencial report, and a recent tweet only add layers of confusion.
The conclusion that imposes itself is the bitterest one: we will probably never know who P.S. is. And that is precisely the key to its power.
