The show Five Days of Reflection promised. International attention, Ayuso, Feijóo and Abascal rubbed their hands... but the end of the show left these three tigers sad: Showtime! Ladies and Gentlemen. Ladies and gentlemen. La Moncloa, the most contested palace in the world... la Moncloa, the most contested palace in the world... presents... presents... its new show... its new show... in which its artist of more continental fame... where its most famous continental artist... Pedro Sánchez... Peter Sancho's Son... will be in charge of transporting you to the wonderful world... He will take you all to the wonderful world.. . and extraordinary... of supernatural beauty... and beautiful... of the comedy.
Anything goes. We are in the electoral period. The Europeans are approaching. In Catalonia we are further away, in the campaign: elections on the 12th. Take advantage. It is when part of the political class treats the common people as sovereign people. Ask. They will listen to them, but perhaps they will forget to keep their promises.
There are politicians who comply, of course. But we know that parties have the natural tendency to exaggerate promises when they are most aware that they will not win. A fact that @rogertugas, a data journalist, confirms by echoing a study on 761 campaigns from 20 countries. “In any case, these programs full of commitments usually end with disappointment among the electorate due to their non-compliance, or with public coffers empty due to the cost they have entailed,” adds Tugas.
Are you disappointed? Drinking to forget no longer works. Two years ago, a Colombian craft beer stamped the promises of the candidates to preside over the country on its cans. “They promise in the campaign; Dos Tercos will be in charge of remembering them,” she wrote to herself along with the commitments.
“After taking them, the cans go to the trash and, if we are lucky, they are recycled. On the other hand, with campaign promises it happens that... ah, what a coincidence!" comments @fabiangutierrezaulestia.
@apuente is outraged. He does not speak of promises, but directly of lies in the campaign: “They lie a lot, they lie without any type of shame and it does not matter how strongly they affirm something, because they can end up failing to fulfill it anyway. And confirming that is not anti-political demagoguery, it is self-defense of the voter.” She barricaded her, she would have set the lyrics to music.
In speech is the trace that reveals if they promise lies. Between the politician who thinks what he says and the one who says what he thinks, stay with the one who realizes what he thinks after saying it. The truth is in spontaneity.
