We are on Friday

It happens with this a bit like with teachers: there are many who point to them for their supposed privileged conditions, fixed hours, long holidays… but we would like to see them struggling with, let’s say, a pack of prey, schoolchildren and teenagers. Well, the same thing happens with the ministries. All government premieres come with their share of “and what is this ministry for”. And this legislature, the cherry on the cake is that of Childhood and Youth, especially the second, divine treasure and never better said.

Or so a good number of tweeters seem to believe, while others, like @Pitores1, lament that “ministry for the youth, yes; but ministry for the elderly, no. The elderly are also vulnerable people”. The tweeter himself answered: “Maybe because we are less catechizable?”

We do not go into the functions and/or objectives of the new ministry, we are not here for the future and it will be seen, but it is true that there is a demand for more attention for the older ones, like @susanapastbe: “It is done a youth ministry in one of the oldest countries in Europe. More than 9 million people are over 65, wouldn’t it have been better to help our grandparents than to create a youth ministry?”. Make it clear that if each age group is to have its own ministry, they will need a stadium for the same council.

It is also curious, or not, that most of the criticism (yes, there are more than congratulations, normal, remember that this is X), falls on the policies. In fact, Wednesday night the hashtag

It is also clear who will take the sticks of the Twitter opposition in the coming months. Heading the ranking, Sira Rego in Childhood and others, Mónica García in Health and Ana Redondo in Equality. We have already spoken of the first portfolio, of the second the networks of Acarnissen, among other aspects, in its scarce content due to the transfers to the autonomies. And of the third, so that he puts the accent, feminism, queer … it will rain sticks. And then they will say, as with the teachers, that they have many holidays.
