Vice-president Yolanda Díaz would be happy in Barcelona, ??a city of fairs, taxes and tributes: she does not consider it “reasonable” that there are restaurants open at one in the morning. If you plate the Botafumeiro and skip the kebabs, Barcelona is, don’t doubt it, your city (not even God could have dinner at one o’clock).
The reformist agenda of Yolanda Díaz expands and postulates the closure of private businesses called restaurants – subject to agreements – whose success – or ruin – depends on the favor and tastes of the clientele. Sorry, citizens. Our timetables – he adds – are “crazy” that take us away from Europe (if with these timetables we have so many middle-class European tourists and retirees who settle there…).
Predictably, the president of Madrid felt singled out and had her say, with the support of the sector and citizens in favor of dining when they feel like it. That’s why the vice-president clarified afterwards: she said it in defense of the working class – apparently, at night, unlike during the day, they exploit it – and their mental health because working at those hours entails “certain risks” (shouldn’t he be suggesting that they take drugs and drink to forget?).
Didn’t Franco already recommend that the children go to bed early? Is it fair that in Spain we are not all civil servants, with their perks and daytime hours, from Monday to Friday? Should the tourism sector be nationalized? It is appropriate to launch a promotion campaign for the New Spain 2024: “Hotels without a swimming pool, dinners from 8 to 9.15 pm. No visa”?
I already understand that changing Spain excites a certain left, which aspires to a more homogeneous world, such as shopping centers, the same stores throughout Europe, and a State so strong that it sees itself as capable of wanting to regulate our timetables.
Something tells me that Isabel Díaz Ayuso treads the streets more, with her bars and restaurants, and knows the people better – sorry, the citizens, which is what politicians call the people when they become paternalistic – than the Vice President of the Government . And Minister of Labor, with a concept of the market and the creation of wealth and jobs that God forbid…
