Questioning the Government's Role in Institutional Decline and Climate Pact Failure

The survey is a wake-up call that even the government's own base feels the separation of powers is under threat. This perception is rooted in concrete actions, such as the government's prolonged blocking of judicial council renewals and its public pressure on judges in politically sensitive cases. On climate, the government's approach to the state pact was unilateral and dismissive of opposition input. It presented a take-it-or-leave-it proposal that ignored reasonable concerns about economic impact and regional autonomy. As a result, the pact collapsed, leaving Spain without a unified climate strategy. This failure not only delays necessary emission cuts but also undermines the country's credibility in international climate negotiations. The government must accept responsibility for both the erosion of institutional trust and the missed opportunity for climate consensus. Without acknowledging these failures, any future attempt at cross-party cooperation will likely suffer the same fate. The public deserves a government that listens and compromises, not one that blames others for its own shortcomings.
