We are already in December. Christmas is approaching, the supermarket shelves have been full of nougats and marzipans for weeks, and it is becoming difficult to find a free space in the calendars with so many company dinners, with a group of friends and even with gym mates. Before these dates, the PSOE has wanted to issue a warning: “Right-wing brother-in-law returns for Christmas“. El Socialista, the official publication of the PSOE, has devoted his latest editorial to give advice to those who have to sit at the table with those who, “like PP and Vox”, take advantage of Christmas dinners to set up “row“.
“That the family is not chosen is a fact, and that your brother or sister married a sympathizer of the PP, or of VOX, if we already get worse, It is a joke that fate wanted to play on you so that you would not let your guard down even on such important dates“, the socialists ironize about the feared (and tedious) discussions that usually arise at Spanish tables between seafood, lamb, glasses of wine and champagne. The key they offer is “prevent the brother-in-law from turning dinner into a fight”. Or, what would be the same, that the family dinner is not a representation of what happens in Congress.
El Socialista uses this same example. In the editorial they point out that the climate that exists in the Lower House with personal disqualifications, insults and continuous tension is due to the fact that “PP and Vox are dedicated to mounting scandals […] For call the atention“. The same thing, they say, your brother or sister-in-law will do with the aim of “being the protagonist of the family reunion”. “We socialists need to be capable of not allowing the tension that the right and the ultra-right want to spread throughout the country to grow in our family gatherings“, they ask, before vindicating the action of the current Government and dropping a few data with which to counterattack the arguments of the “brother-in-law”.

Returning to irony, the editorial briefly reviews some of the most common statements made against the Executive. “For him or her the country lives its last days, and social communism knocks on the door as Hannibal did on the outskirts of Rome. In his mind, Western civilization is in danger and only a select few can recover the splendor of the Old Age. Medium”, they joke. The answer must be “irony”, they maintain, assuming that “any rational discussion is out“.
“If he tells you that climate change is an invention, and that very relevant scientists have said it, you can cite Dr. Bacterio among his recognized sources“, they set an example to follow in conversations of this type. Pedro Sánchez seems to have already applied this strategy. “Less wolves, caperutica,” the Prime Minister told the Vox leader, Santiago Abascal, this Wednesday after the leader of the extreme right drew an apocalyptic scenario in Congress.
