The massacre, which took place on the border of Melilla, with 23 dead and dozens injured, caught Spain during the final preparations for the NATO summit. At the front door you groom the red carpet that world leaders will step on, and behind you, the landless attack. Of all the possible bad answers Pedro Sánchez could give about utter disaster, the Spanish president chose the worst, the least merciful. We are not used to it. We’ve lived through years of intense politics, with overactive empathy responses to anything that moves and hurts, whether it’s the Rociito, abandoned dogs in the summer, displaced by a fire, or the victims of a shipwreck. And suddenly, the solidarity that was reserved for Morocco and its security forces in the brutal suppression of the attack on the fence ended. From reaching out to Open Arms to kickstart the legislature of change and cooperation, to invoking territorial integrity as the sole moral norm. In Sánchez’s Manual de Resistencia, what does the phrase “having saved 630 lives makes one worthy of political dedication” about the reception of migrants rescued by the Aquarius in the Mediterranean mean? He now resists holding onto the chair and looking the other way, as he has done in politics all his life. The violence of the police attack and the bombardment of information and tombs dug in record time to put oppressed sub-Saharan regions into the many refugees from warring countries deserved meaningful silence from the left government. What did it cost the president and ministers to make themselves look a little sadder and less upset; nor did they bother to pretend.
We will need to redefine the concept of human tragedy. First of all, no event that incites great statesmen when they are engaged in crucial geopolitical issues will no longer be regarded as such. “Hi Joe, you’re finally alone, how are you?” “Something’s bothering me, Pedro. I sent Kamala to take care of fifty-odd Latino immigrants who drowned in an abandoned truck in Texas. He’s good at this.” “It’s the mob, Joe. There’s nothing to do. I never get tired of repeating and they criticize me ». “It’s better if it’s explained by a racist person, I got it verified.”
Empathy is reserved for women at the NATO meeting. To the First Ladies with parallel secondary agendas that provide delicious counter diaries for newspapers and gossip magazines. A while ago they went for a walk in a museum or went to ballet while they were cutting cod. At this time, they also visit foster families, dedicating themselves to love as they prepare for war. Queen Letizia and Jill Biden toured a Ukrainian refugee center in Pozuelo de Alarcón. There, they took an inevitable selfie with chef José Andrés, who was feeding those displaced by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine at the border in their World Central Kitchen caravan. They also met with different NGOs operating in the war zone. Who knows, have they commented on recent misfortunes that have long ceased to be photogenic?
