I always liked this saying, which vindicates call things by their name. And the truth is that things are not as complicated as we sometimes think. These days, for example, we have confirmed that there are progressive recipes to try to weather the economic storm. They will like more or less; but there are, ‘there are’. They are, simply, measures that prioritize the protection of the weakest, although doubts about their effectiveness and the desperate internal fights within the Government They have muted them. It has also become clear to us that the giants of the economy, be they banks, power companies or oil companies, often suffer from some type of muscular atrophy that makes it difficult for them to roll up their sleeves when it comes to sharing damages in a crisis.
The overacted reaction of the stock markets to the announcement of special taxes to reduce your profits a bit It reminded me of the dentist’s joke, that when he is about to enter the other’s mouth, he notices the patient’s hand on his noble parts while he whispers: “We won’t hurt each other, right?” Nor can there be many doubts about the congenital defect that the Popular Party carries with its tortuous use of terrorism. That 10 years after the disappearance of ETA insists again and again, confirms that he needs medical assistance. And moral. Because hearing in Congress that the spirit of civic resistance that the assassination of Miguel Ángel Blanco generated is the same that the PP raises to oppose the government of Pedro Sánchez, That borders on civil war. Of course, these days we have also been on the verge of vomiting when listening, without anesthesia and in an absolutely stark way, how harassment and demolition operations are being cooked in which journalists and media executives participate. I never liked to generalize. That’s why I celebrate that, even if it’s only from time to time, doubts are cleared up. From there, let everyone act as they please and that each stick hold its candle. But things are clear. And the chocolate, thick.
