I can already imagine that losing a ministerial portfolio stings, although mine is worse: there is no way to be appointed Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, a position that would allow me to set foot in Medina del Campo, subsidize the price of elvers and prohibit the sale of the self-called tuna tatakis.
–And why do you want to ban tuna tataki in restaurants?
–Because I say so, that’s why I am a minister!
Apparently, Ione Belarra and Irene Montero have taken the dismissal the wrong way, without taking into account that we all want to occupy a ministerial chair. Therefore, we must make room for those who wait for equity, equal opportunities and the Christmas lottery. Unless – everything will work – Spain reaches 54 ministries, like India.
The tantrum hasn’t been that big either. Who has not put the boss to shame because he has not changed his position or because he has kept him in his position? I am glad that the new generations of the purple left called to transform Spain leave office ranting about the boss, whom in private – I suspect – they will call Machirulo Sánchez, Fary de la Moncloa or Kid Tunero.
Ours, our whole life!
The only thing that bothered me was Montero’s suggestion that she was being replaced because of her “bravery to make the 40- and 50-year-old men who are friends of the President of the Government uncomfortable,” something – to make people uncomfortable – that her successor, Ana Redondo, wants to continue doing (in sight of the rapa dust, I imagine that I would have preferred to receive the wallet from the hands of a man from Tomelloso, given to saying goodbye with hugs and cheers to Sara Montiel).
Doesn’t the President of the Government have friends in their sixties? Or does he have them and Montero makes the sixty-year-old invisible because he believes that we are no longer bothered by anything beyond what we accommodate as best we can? It hurts that the best-prepared generation of sixties in history is treated this way by the Ministry of Equality. We who invited prawns in good faith and now say yes means yes and no means no!
If we only need to understand about women what “you will see”, “yourself” or “you will know” means…
