The virus is frequently described as “the real enemy”, the kind that does not allow for distractions and that is progressively more obvious. While he claims that “the war on the virus is permanent” (22nd March), he encourages Spanish citizens to strengthen their sense of national unity, patriotism, and solidarity.

The pandemic is compared to the economic crisis of 2012, to the Second World War, and to the Spanish Civil War for its potential impact on the country and on the whole world: In recent days, leaders of our neighbouring countries have said, and we have heard them say, that this situation is the most serious our societies have ever experienced since the Second World War, and they are probably not wrong. In our country, certainly, only the very old, who experienced the hardships of the civil war and the post-war period, can remember harsher collective situations than the present one. Apart from them, the remaining generations living in Spain today have never, ever before in our lives, had to collectively face something so hard, so difficult. (21st March)
