He State Attorney General spoke on TVE. He said that he had a lot of sensitive information with which, if he wanted to harm any political spectrum, he could greatly harm them. He spoke with a soft, measured voice, like Vito Corleone does in the meeting he holds with all the bosses to seek a solution to the war between families. Don Barzini hopes that Corleone will agree to his conditions and he, although reluctantly, accepts them. It will give them political protection for drug trafficking. But Bruno Tattaglia says that he wants guarantees and how to know that Corleone will not end up taking revenge, to which he responds that he gives up on avenging his son’s death. He wants his other son, Mike, to be able to return home after being accused of the double murder of mobster Virgil Sollozzo and Police Captain McCluskey. But after this apparently non-belligerent statement, Don Vito menacingly adds that he is very superstitious and that if some accident were to happen to his son, if some police officer paid him to shoot him in the head, if they imprisoned him and appeared hanged in his celleven if he were struck by lightning, then he would blame some of those present… and would not forgive.
Something of that underlay what the Prosecutor said. He made it clear that he had information to sink whoever it was and he does not give the impression of being someone who stops halfway in his actions. Sánchez, regarding the fact that the Supreme Court has indicted the Attorney General of the State for the first time in the history of our democracy, has said “I am glad, because this way (the prosecutor) will acquire greater experience and knowledge in crimes.” . Personally, I don’t think the man found this very funny, but working for Sánchez means facing the fact that when you stop being useful to him, regardless of the services you have provided him, he leaves you in the gutter and continues forgetting about you. you instantly. Ábalos knows something about that. And Conde Pumpido, they tell me, is living with real terror what is happening with the Attorney General. Pumpido wonders if he should soak his beard, because, they say, no one doubts how the issue will be resolved: Sánchez will win for more sensitive information that the Attorney General has stored in his drawer. Take the aforementioned Ábalos as an example. Shouldn’t Sánchez’s right-hand man for so many years and secretary of organization have dossiers to cover Ferraz, Moncloa, Congress and part of the M-30? It has them, but it will be difficult for them to emerge. In the time of Narcís Serra, he walked around the regional committees of the PSOE with a small black suitcase, with a zipper, like the ones carried by the bill collectors who came to the home. Inside were documents that changed the mind of the most stubborn socialist baron. I saw it personally in Galicia during the time of González Laxe, president of the xicot, a good boy. Maybe Don Álvaro is too. Perhaps, together with Serra, they have an enormous ability to convince others. Perhaps the Prosecutor knows a lot about those who naively think that their corpses are well protected in secure cabinets. But, with all due respect, Mr. Attorney General of the State, no matter how much you know, there is no doubt in your mind that Sánchez knows more and that he will end up making you an offer that you cannot refuse.
You will agree with me that “The Godfather” should be included in the syllabus of the Political Science degree. With this film and Machiavelli’s “The Prince” nothing else is needed.
