“Traitor? Because? because?”. M.ª Jesús Montero, dressed in faralaes and with a flower in her hair, walks around the April Fair in Seville as an orphan. The PSOE has been left without a booth for not paying the tax on time. A major tragedy that leads the vice president to wander around the real estate between kisses and reproaches. “Traitor! “You have been left without a booth.” The PSOE appealed the decision of the City Council (governed by the PP), but the court does not want to know anything about the “rooting” of the socialists to the fair, so the networks report on Montero’s walk looking for someone else’s shelter.
With or without a booth, in a campaign you have to expose yourself, also in the digital realm, where anonymity protects haters. Achieving more likes than votes is a paradox that the creative machines of the parties face and, even so, they do not stop investing. The records show digital contradictions: Vox accumulated 39% of searches last week, with 28% of the PP and 19% of the PSOE; Pedro Sánchez took the throne in the analysis by candidates with 58%, while Alberto Núñez Feijóo stayed at 13%.
PSOE and PP have been saying good morning in X for months with their private accountants. The socialists: “1,954 days with the renewal of the General Council of the Judiciary blocked by the PP.” And the PP, with the independence letter: “Dear PSOE: Reminder of the promise made by Sánchez to bring Puigdemont to stand trial: 1,625 days.” The wild card Puigdemont is the protagonist of the first video released by the Catalan PP to gain space on 12-M against the Illa-Aragonès-Puigdemont triangle. A PSC activist – with photos of Pasqual Maragall and Josep Borrell on the bookshelf at home – is preparing to go to the Rose Festival. She looks in the mirror and sees… Puigdemont. “Host!”. The first censorship reaction has not been socialist. “Blasphemy is unnecessary,” says one tweeter.
The popular ones are looking for socialist voters of 2021, from Ciudadanos and disenchanted with Salvador Illa and Pedro Sánchez. Political chaos is the order of the day. It helped Sánchez to continue at Moncloa and Pere Aragonès is looking for his in all formats. Including the tiktoker. Despite being the president, the ERC candidate appears in a video to list the “five things you didn’t know about me.” From “well-made croquettes” to “punctured” beer barrels at JERC parties. The president appears without a tie. The one who wants to buy the “hippy” Joel Joan. In a video he asks for “money” to enter Parliament… and point out more “traitors”.
