Tell us you vote Vš¤®x without telling you vote Vš¤®x.
I never voted for Vox and never will so shut up.
PP it is, then. Same shit, different color.
Typical for Podemos voter to say. Too buried in all the identity politics issues to see whatās going on in real world.
Not even the experts know yet WTF has happened and you are asking for the whole government to do EXACTLY what the PP and Vš¤®x say⦠but the problem is āthe mindset of the typical Podemos voterā (whatever it is).
Do you really think the rest of the people is stupid?
I donāt know what youāre talking about. Is there some language barrier here?
Iām not asking the whole government to do anything. Iām saying they terribly mismanaged some things and itās time for them to go. Not because of this one accident but because of all the issues Renfe had in recent years, because of the energy grid issues and because of how they fucked up car charging infrastructure. And they will go after the next elections. The did some good things, it will be a shame that lose some momentum on worker rights and environmental issues but I donāt think itās enough to ignore their corruptions and incompetence in other areas.
Iām also not saying anything of this is because of Podemos voters. Iām saying itās your problem. If you think PP and Vox is the same you simply donāt know that much about politics and probably vote based on some propaganda and/or emotions.
And PP WAS different (but not that much) from V š¤®x before. But today Ayuso is moving the party toward the far right with little push back from Feijoo. Remember: Aznar came from Falange, not the center-right and about Rajoy, Iāll just say one thing: Caso Reace.
About the Renfe problems⦠just one thing: I live in Extremadura š¤·
And what the government is supposed to do is to REGULATED those companies. Itās supposed to have a energy policy that will not destabilize and collapse the grid. If it pushes green energy it should also invest in proper energy grid that can handle it.
Same for car charging infrastructure. They let private companies do whatever the want while subsidizing them with public money. Now I have to use private chargers using private apps that require all personal data. Chargers that were build using money from my taxes. The government ignored the whole thing for years and is only now building first public charging stations. This is all coming years later than mandated by EU. So they are supposedly pushing sustainable transportation but in reality they just gave bunch of money to private companies creating the worst system possible.
And itās the same with Renfe. They pushed public transport while mismanaging the infrastructure. They spend bunch of money connecting smaller town and increasing numbers of passengers pushing the tracks beyond its limit.
So they have good ideas, I like the direction they want to take us but they are terrible executing at managing things. Itās Podemos releasing rapists from prisons by mistake but on national scale.
Still, itās not that I strongly oppose PSOE. I more tired of their bullshit and I think a change will not be that bad. Maybe it will give them chance to change leadership, reorganize, unite on the left⦠Having Vox in the ruling coalition will suck but things canāt continue the way they are now.
