Intense days at the Pati Digital. It’s not a hot summer, not by a long shot, on the old Twitter, today Ics. On the contrary, it is being a hot July for reasons other than environmental ones. Most important, as far as what was at stake, was Sunday’s general election. An election that served to puncture the demographic bubble that had settled in the country. It was artificial and, probably, in the face of upcoming appointments with the ballot boxes, the voter will think twice if he trusts this or that poll without revealing the micro data that supports it. Some company will obviously also consider its disbursement.
In social networks it is true that, until Sunday, there was also the conviction – practically unanimous – that the PP of Feijóo would regain power. The doubt was to clarify whether with Abascal as vice president or without him. Here’s the thing. Only some kind of miracle would prevent it. And it happened.
The past few days on Twitter have been particularly polarizing. Mud flooded the interchange. Those who mentioned the killer of Miguel Ángel Blanco were unleashed; no one stopped them. Correos elvan put in the target. The Falcon was also a recurring theme. Until Sunday midnight, that bubble was also punctured.
On Monday, after voting, social media showed a different tone. You could say that there were four winners, according to the Twitter criteria. First of all, the slogan “Perro Sanxe”, who had to say it, converted into a campaign leitmotif by the PSOE. Second, Tezanos; he who laughs last will laugh well, it was said. In third place, Puigdemont, who holds the key to governance and who is set to be the protagonist of the month of August. Noise is coming; in fact, there are already. And, as an unexpected winner, the Grand Prix of the summer, with Ramón García but without a cow, which has returned to the small screen with a solid audience. The people were looking forward to seeing an iconic competition on Spanish television again. It’s not the 2000s, no. Spain is a more mature country today, but it wants to have fun.
What has happened until Sunday should make society reflect. It was an unedifying campaign, but one that leaves a lesson. No matter how many hours of TV news or airwaves are broadcast, and rivers of ink are written, no matter how many tweets are read and Instagram and TikTok videos are consumed, the maxim of “a moment, that it is necessary to vote” should focus the debate on the future. for health
