The condemnation of liars

Politicians have a high level of public exposure, which means They have many more opportunities than the rest of us mortals to be caught in a lie. In times of search engines it is very easy for opponents to find what can be considered blatant lies, but the phenomenon is not new. Marketing, first, and spin doctors, now, are the forces that lead politicians to not always say what they think but what they think people want to hear. Suarez He was always a slave to his oath of the principles of the Movement. Gonzalez of the 800,000 jobs and the “right off the bat, no.” Aznar of “I will not negotiate with terrorists” and “Pujol dwarf, speaks Spanish.” Shoemaker of his plan E to deny the real estate crisis. Rajoy of his promises of tax reductions in the midst of austericide. Because of his career and the moment in which he has lived, Sánchez accumulates a good sum of lies. There are those who attribute having committed to Susana Díaz to keep her chair. Many who met him remember that He swore to them that he would not agree with Podemos (it “took away” his sleep). And he still resonates his commitment to bring Puigdemont “in handcuffs” to Spain. Sánchez’s erratic career is explained because It has had to survive the two-party system until it is replaced by two-party system in which everything is explained and justified simply by blocking the way for the adversary. He says an old aphorism that The condemnation of the liar is that he cannot believe anyone. Surely, Sánchez sees himself reflected in the twists that Puigdemont is giving these days about himself, entangled in his lies that led him from proclaiming a republic from which he left after five minutes to ensuring that he would never invest a president of the Government of Spain. . If two liars reach an agreement, they only trust each other through a mediator. Here we are. Lying is part of the human condition but lying as a political modus operandi ends in entanglement.
