With the unilateral decision of the People’s Party, the only debate with the highest chance between the two candidates, next president of spain took place not on public television, but on a private channel of their choice. If it reaches Moncloa on July 23, it may well be considered the first privatization of Turkey. feijoo. This RTVE dominance This was clear in the subsequent discussion with 7 of the spokespersons, so it’s worth asking what the real reason was. But let’s move from the continent to the content: arguably. No trace of Rae’s definition of ‘discussion’; “Discuss a topic with differing views”. Or ‘discuss’; “Study a subject carefully and in particular.” No opinions, no tests. In fact, there was no room for anything but interruptions, clandestine monologues, hollow words and lies, lots of lies. A machine gun with different figures would be useful – data kills the story – only if it was verified or questioned by moderators who did not interfere with the block or … for nothing more than publicity. Without the rules of the game and without decency. An “all is well”. And no.
It’s like the old ad on Scattergories where we take the octopus as a pet. cheat Don’t take the game home. A Pedro Sánchez, who had been waiting for him to come here from El Hormiguero to have a lot of fun, was stunned as he waited for the moderators to put some order in the midst of all the noise. It didn’t happen. And he went into the rag. Without a single hole to suckle Spain’s international importance in European politics, employment or social justice. Feijóo did not even pretend to explain what concrete proposals would accompany the refrain to abolish al-sanchismo. The goal was to scrape Vox votes, not to offer recommendations geared towards citizens’ needs, and it always remains to prevent the opponent from turning their speech when someone has nothing valuable to say.
It would soon be known that ‘Gish gallop’ technique—because it takes longer to explain a truth than to lie, to have the opponent with messages regardless of whether they are real or not — came from Miguel Ángel Rodríguez himself. ayuso phenomenon and even before José María Aznar. The current chief of staff of the Madrid PP met with the candidate for hours on the morning of the debate, urging him to continue the offensive from the very beginning. An “all is well”. And no. So it doesn’t matter if they later read that the winner was this or that candidate, the truth is that the losers were decency and honesty. He lost his respect for the citizens and his right to participate in the confrontation of management projects before the elections.
But there is still a more serious loss, and that is, Paraphrasing Sánchez In that other face-to-face meeting in the Senate, the false, inaccurate, or distorted half-truths Feijóo did are not a sign of bankruptcy, but proof of evil, perfectly planned and laid out in documents fresh from the oven. belief. The PP, a desperate strategy that is detrimental to Spain and democracy, continues after this and promotes the conspiracy theory of the credibility of postal voting, which asks postmen to “give all the votes regardless of their boss”. already done ayuso in May. “Just in case”. They argued in a statement from Correos that “the professionalism of more than 45,000 employees is beyond question.”
But why lie as a strategy instead of trying? to earn legally? Because if the lie scares us, we buy it as a possibility. And victims of fear, if we have to swallow the illusion on the way to safety, if we lose freedoms and rights… We accept octopus. It is the breeding ground that feeds hours of programming with content that scares grandmothers that they will invade our homes, immigrants will rape us, and feminists will mislead our children. And the postmen will burn our votes. The decalogue in Sylvain Timsit’s Strategies for Manipulation explains this: One should ‘talk to the public as little creatures’ with simple and repetitive messages; ‘create problems to propose solutions later’ until you reach the ‘staggered strategy’ that allows an unacceptable measure to be accepted.
Aznar, the first adviser to Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, announced that an unacceptable measure was in progress. Feijóo spreads fears over an alleged failure in the Post Office vote: “Feijóo will become president”. At the same time, he said, “The European Union has injected so much money that easy money does not worry the country,” saying, “We should return to the order of merit and reward the effort. We must return to economic rigidity, even if it means going through hardships.”
Guess how credit and trouble will be divided between them and us? And no, what’s up… The octopus is not a pet.
