He makes me laugh with Juanma Moreno because of Mel Brooks. The PP candidate in Andalusia scores an average of 6.1 points in the polls, which he likes and many Andalusians do not like to be criticized by less valuable candidates. This president did something right with his image that went from being called an arbiter by his two surnames (Moreno Bonilla) to being called by his hypocritical family name and first surname and title (Juanma Moreno). But he was going to one of Mel Brooks’ best events, in the unforgettable television series “El Superagent 86”, where he created KAOS’ most evil and dangerous agent, “Simón, el simpaticon”, a very nice, sweet and humble man. This one conquered just by looking at it. Look at the scenes of Simón el simpaticon (which is beautiful in another translation) on YouTube and you’ll see a middle-aged actor, a visor, and a smile, whose eyes sparkle when he looks at it, thereby making others stand up. In one scene, he stands next to a gumball machine and the device hands him a few.
Derived by Teresa Rodríguez, born in Cádiz from Adelante Andalucía, the PP nominee “suavón” is Malaganism “the seemingly harmless person who does whatever he wants”, the typical person who “kills them by staying silent”. The only way to compensate Moreno’s sympathy is not to deny him, but to add vague suspicion to him. In today’s politics, this superpower renders the island inviolable until it makes a mistake over and over again. It was already like that with Adolfo Suárez, but it’s happening more and more. The strange thing is that since the decline of bipartisanship, when negative approaches triumph, it is with someone to whom positive values are attributed.
In such individualistic times, no one would think of anyone who would criticize the other person’s program. Everyone plays charisma, but it’s not profitable to shoot against a good charisma. “Simón, el simpaticon”, defeated by Superagent 86’s mother-in-law, unmoved by sympathy, asks her, “So what are you laughing at?” Good question for candidates.
