There is a common belief that fish have a thirty-second memory. This is where we get the phrase ‘having a fishy memory’, an evil that some politicians and their large teams of advisors are trying to perpetuate among the electorate. ‘Look at the bird!’ for a bird to hide everything else from a fish.
We recently experienced an example in these days when the state of the nation was being discussed; It’s a must-do event every year—except in the year of the election—since the first of the 83 people headed by Felipe González. In it, the government team, as the name suggests, lends itself to public parliamentary scrutiny: taking into account the state of the nation, but also taking into account its responsibility and proposals for it.
The extraordinary conditions of recent times mean that it’s been seven years—very intense, as you can see from the memory exercises—since President Mariano Rajoy’s last debate in February 2015, when an absolute majority was in power, applauding the low inflation that followed. four years of austerity and cuts. 11 points difference – -1.1% compared to the current 10.2%, but it’s true that the eurozone average was 0.1 then and is now 8.6.
The head of the first coalition government, Pedro Sánchez, as leader of the opposition, as he was seven years ago, is now facing reproaches from the once-ruling right bloc for this inflation, demanding the rise of the opposition. then the minimum wage of €648.60 repeals labor reform or extends unemployment protection. Meanwhile, unemployment reached 4,812,486 Spaniards in 2015 compared to the current 2,880,582. 23.2% of the population compared to the current 13.1%, but have no clue of what we know as social shields today. For the remaining workers, the minimum wage rose to €1,000, or 54.2%.
The majority of PP, of course, “be strong, Luis” rejected these progressive proposals, trying to vent the reproaches of corruption scandals that beset the popular ones among Púnicas, Gúrteles, and the constant emergence of shady characters and businesses that will come to an end. It ended with Rajoy becoming the first democratic party to be impeached by Congress and the PP, the first democratic party to be convicted of corruption.
But even as Rajoy tried to stay afloat in the sewers in February 2015, the opposition asked him for clarification on the imminent bailout of the banking system, but the public denied it was a bailout, but “a loan to the bank” to pay his own bank” and the Spaniards “even for a euro” would not be worth it. Of the 65.725 million euros “injected into the financial sector”, only 6,000 were recovered.
Seven years later, President Sánchez announced a package of extraordinary measures that included an extraordinary and provisional tax that he hoped to levy 7,000 million – much more – to banks and major energy companies. Meanwhile, the opposition PP focused a significant portion of its speech on the state of the nation – let’s remember that this is the balance and governance of the Government – speaking of ETA – it disappeared more than 10 years ago – 25 years have passed since the assassination of Miguel Angel Blanco. And ETA was also the argument chosen to reject the government’s announcement to introduce a new Law of Democratic Memory, with the support of EH Bildu, among others, and they declared that they would repeal it the day they came to power. déjà vu. The Rajoy executive has already boasted of allocating “zero euros” in General Government Budgets to the existing ‘Historical Memory Act’ created by Zapatero’s team in 2007, ignoring the bill’s additional requests to waive the bill. pretext for reopening wounds and forcing them to make State policies that guarantee justice to the victims.
memory policy Verify whether the memory of what happened during the 1936 coup, the dictatorship and transition is as ‘exemplary’ as they sold us. A place where the state has undertaken the task of searching and exhuming the disappeared, and ours is featured in the textbooks of the History of Democracy and Democratic Memory.
Enough? Never. But he is on the path of justice, compensation and truth.
There is a common belief that links poor memory to fish. Numerous studies have shown that this is not true. They manage to escape from places where they find hooks, recognize themselves and even human faces, and show a tendency towards those whom they know to feed them among themselves. Logical; Remembering where there is a trap or who is looking at you is essential for survival. You see, memory ultimately makes the difference between being a fish or being a fish.
