They say in Andalusia that, if Pablo Casado had had a little more time, the president of Andalusia wouldn't have been his candidate in the election on 2nd December last year and, as such, wouldn't have ended up in charge of the San Telmo palace, the baroque building in Seville where the Andalusian government is located. But politics is like that and, thanks to a double accident, the one with Casado and the unexpected defeat of Susana Díaz, Juanma Moreno became the first PP president of Andalusia, a strong voice for the conservatives and listened to even more than Galicia's Núñez Feijóo.

Moreno's CV is lacking and his government with Ciudadanos and the external support of Vox threatens to be above all an executive of confrontation: confrontation with PSOE in Andalusia and with the independence movement in Spain. Or with both of them in both places. His first visit to Barcelona fell far short of the minimal institutional courtesy (it's not documented he requested a meeting with the president of Catalonia). He met with the Federation of Andalusian Cultural Entities and later took part in the Day of Andalusian Social Harmony.

His comments on the marginalisation of the Andalusians in Catalonia and his statements that he doesn't plan to allow the rights of the Andalusians living in Catalonia be trampled on demonstrate either ignorance or bad faith. Or both at once. Talking about the Andalusians who emigrated in the 60s and 70s as an indivisible political unit is to be unaware of the integration that's taken place, which has even allowed one of them, José Montilla, who was born in Iznájar, in the province of Cordoba, to become president of Catalonia. However, it's better to shout to the four winds that he won't allow their rights to be trampled on and scorned.

Luckily, their rights are guaranteed. Starting with their fundamental rights, even if only because it hasn't been necessary to ally with Vox to take power and thus set a precedent for Europe. A very bad precedent, especially if they're wanting to give lessons.
