In the end, the current political language has resulted in a simple, linear paraphrase, declined for headlines, the 20-second sentence on TV or a twitter like any political proposal. This perversion makes conversation impossible and of course not even the art of dialogue that M. de Montaigne called for already in the 16th century.
A current political language hides more than it teaches and, of course, is praise of the self as the only value. Language deceives because it only intends to maintain deception. In response to this language and as the scholar Erasmus said, “everyone smells good of their excrement”. An evaluative language that is transferred by imposition or interested party to the media, including all variants of the Internet. Perversion hides reality. We look at the finger that points to the moon, not the moon.
The Compromís crisis delights as a political language: yes Oltra, yes Baldoví, yes the leadership of Aitana Mas. But it hides the analysis of the management of the nationalists in their respective ministries and responsibilities. The reality of the chaos of dependency in the Valencian Community is threatened by the forced dismissal of Oltra for a legal matter.
As it happens with the agriculture that Molla managed, a sector in which they have not found out that there was a ministry of the branch. Or as has happened with the VW plant. The trumpet that Puig set up as a triumphalist language for his management has remained a matter of price. If you give me so much, I’ll go to Sagunto and if not, then you’ll stay there. Perverse language sometimes comes at the price of business decisions that are not on the electoral market.
And the accusations between PSOE, PP and allies of one and the other bloc for the rupture of the pact for justice hides the strategy of both for delaying any agreement until after the elections. It is not a pact for justice. It is the struggle for power over justice. The language of the agit prop disguises the non-agreement by accusing Feijóo of weakness before his right. Or he denounces Pedro Sánchez for putting the transfer to the independentists in the same package. The perversion hides that a pact now prevents whoever wins the elections from controlling justice. Nobody wants it.
The finger instead of the moon. The perversion of the language in which everyone falls obvious that in politics nothing is what it seems. Is the Campaign Committee that Carlos Mazón has set up, with Barrachina and Montesinos at the head, really the ones who are going to win the regional and municipal elections? They have already sold that they are a shadow government, but there are other people in the shadows to make the electoral victory possible.
The language said that À punt came to save audiovisual culture, which Carles Alberola himself doubts in La Vanguardia. And is that doubt is a virtue not a sin.
