Carlos Herrera (Cope) returns to La Cope after doing the Camino de Sant Jaume and explains that he has walked twenty kilometers a day. “What about the bottles?” asked the talk show host Ignacio Camacho. Herrera claims that he has not had any thanks to the chiropodological benefits of his surgeries, inspiring that song capable of awakening feelings of hiking nostalgia and, at the same time, nightmares of gore podiatry.
In Aquí Catalunya (Ser) they comment on the possibility that the elections will have to be repeated, alas. It is a diagnosis derived from polls, which are in politics what bets are in horse races. “We are publishing surveys beyond our means”, says political scientist Oriol Bartomeus on Ràdio 4. The comedian Coluche, who took the irreverence to the limit of running as a candidate for the presidency of France, said that polls were invented so that people know what they think. Coluche announced it in the fall of 1980 with language that scandalized public opinion. He was accused of trivializing democracy and he responded with an appeal published in Charlie Hebdo, in which he said: “I appeal to the lazy, the dirty, the druggies, the alcoholics, the fagots, the women, the parasites, the young people, convicts, lesbians, Arabs, French, hairy, crazy, transvestites, former communists, convinced abstentionists, all those who don’t count on politicians, to vote for me”.
How would Coluche experience the disrepute of the Republic and the violence in so many neighborhoods? Yesterday, on the Europe 1 station, the panelists criticized the statements of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who, consistent with his zeal for populist insubordination, blames the rich for the current problems. In Europe 1 they talk about a violence that brings to light the failure of educational systems and social aid policies and that leads to a desperate certainty: the revolt is defined more by what it rejects than by what it proposes.
The restlessness transmitted by the French socialites sounds like a premonition of phenomena that we could import. Some phenomena that, based on bad experiences, have ended up discovering the differences between anger, rage and hatred. Anyone who wants to get closer to the reality of this explosion of violence would do well to watch the film Atenea (Netflix) and not settle for the definitions of a cup of coffee circulating on social networks. The last one even brings back a sentence from Master Yoda from The Wars of the Galaxies: “Fear is the way to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hatred. Hate leads to suffering”. In El programa de Ana Rosa (Telecinco), the interview with Alberto Núñez Feijóo helps the cause of the PP and, incidentally, serves to present him as a statesman and to insult his adversary with statements as rabid as : “Sanchism is a democratic anomaly”.
