In this episode we want to tell you an anecdotal story, but I think if you listen to it, it won’t seem that way to you. This summer we have to locate ourselves at a campsite in Segovia, and there is a sign that says: “Card payment is accepted but we prefer cash.” » He added a series of arguments in favor of paying in cash. It was a poster from the Sierra Viva association. Why is there an association that aims to protect cash? What benefit could there be in posting posters in sparsely populated areas?
But it’s not just about hoaxes. This whole theory that it’s okay to withdraw money from the regulated system fuels businessmen withdrawing their taxes from Spain, cryptocurrencies, new businesses… or a mix of all of the above . To politicians like Alvise. We started at a campsite with an innocent sign telling us not to pay by card and found ourselves embroiled in a global conspiracy to end life as we know it.
Our elDiario.es colleagues Carlos del Castillo and Diego Larrouy help us understand not only the hoax, but also the economic interest and lobby behind it all.
