The political parties in Spain have their structures, their principles and even their anthems, but, when five in the afternoon arrives, the moment of truth, there is only one reality: here I am in charge and "whoever moves does not appear in the photo." ” (phrase, by the way, from Alfonso Guerra).
The sexist rudeness regarding Yolanda Díaz's hairstyles has provided ammunition to those who so dislike an objective fact: Felipe González and Alfonso Guerra, 81 and 83 years old, have an audience and attention when they speak.
And therein lies the problem...
In addition to being sexist, the dart at the hairdresser is easy - it seems like a lie, teacher! -, as easy as the recourse of the detractors - let's not cheat on the solitary - that, of course, poor things, they are of an age. Chochean, come on.
Age is, precisely, the political plus of the González-Guerra tandem. Because being back, accumulating experience gives lucidity to those who at twenty years old were not complete fools and dispels the suspicion that they are looking for some profit. What are they going to look for at this point, except to express what they believe, instead of spending the day in a residence waiting for the first lunch shift?
I don't know if what they argue is good for Spain, Real Betis Balompié or the survival of the Guadiana sturgeon, but I don't see any inconvenience - on the contrary - in that two socialists who contributed so much to our democracy can express their opposition in those forums. where they have an audience. And if they irritate you, there is always the demagogic resource of mentioning “quicklime” in a tweet or a phrase in Congress, which is what those who would not last five minutes in a serious debate or a parliamentary session do.
No one retires great artists except the public. Or the absence of it. If the reappearance of González and Guerra stings, it is because they retain enough prestige to cast doubt on socialism itself – or is it about blowing the whistle and everyone closing ranks? – the hypothetical amnesty law. I suppose that its defenders cannot imagine that such a momentous decision could and should be a military walk...
