@Poli: not "blamed", but doomed to failure. :)

Something similar to "born to lose".

Also, (similar)
están abocados a un desastre = they are heading for a disaster

(destinado) condenado A algo doomed TO something; una iniciativa condenada al fracaso = an initiative doomed to failure; costumbres condenadas a desaparecer = customs doomed to disappear
(obligado) condenado A + INF condemned o forced to + INF; familias condenadas a vivir en la miseria = families condemned to live in poverty
