Let’s speak correctly. Anyone who bases his success on inventing scandals against his opponents is not a politician in the strict sense of the term but a mafia boss. We must eradicate the fear of words with their wonderful ability to define realities. We see that the dirty tactics aimed at achieving power – or maintaining it – do not avoid the crudest attributions to the opponent, even if they are false. The dialectical confrontation would therefore be at least in the same terms: some true and others false. All that is missing is that the amorphous and impressionable society, if it is moderately honest, knows how to distinguish them. The already known and untested recipe: close the television talk shows, unless they use real experts, and not thieves paid by the parties. And the same goes for the brochures of the media pigsty: no visits to the website, no subscriptions or sales, not a single euro in paper version. Perhaps a captive brain would then be recoverable.
Throughout his presidency in the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo directly accused the president of the government of being a dictator. “At the level of Francisco Franco, as he implied at a campaign event in Catalonia,” as Aitor Rivero reports here. Feijóo also described Sánchez as an international embarrassment, grotesque, arrogant, vain or frivolous, among other insults.
