In a rather boomer expression, Feijóo recognized himself as such today. “I’m a…what they call a baby boomer now. “This condition has certain disadvantages that I prefer not to discuss in detail,” he said, before laughingly asserting that “it also has the advantage of being able to observe life with a certain experience.”
He recognized this in a speech during an event, in turn, very boomer: the Forum A Toxa-Vínculo Atlántico organized in O Grove to reflect “on the values that define our liberal democracies” and for which they have already Mariano Rajoy parade. (boomer), António Costa (boomer) and Felipe González (at 82, he surpasses the boomer).
“Boomer” refers to the generation of “Baby Boomers” (born between 1946 and 1964). In recent years, the expression “Okay, boomer” has become very popular as an ironic response from a young person being lectured in a paternalistic manner by an older person. In a very generic way, “Okay, boomer” would mean something like “whatever you say, sir.”
Feijóo explained in his speech that young people who have not experienced dictatorship and transition “are more exposed to uprooting” and that many boys and girls “lack historical references and do not find many reasons to be enthusiastic in the current system. “One could conclude that this is due to their unconsciousness. Apparently, they have almost everything, much more than their grandparents: they are more educated and in the case of Spain, they are citizens of the free world. They already realize that, right? Well no.” It was then that he considered himself a “baby boomer” and that, based on his experience, he can say he was “convinced” that “we are letting down today’s young people ‘today’.
