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 skip Botafumeiro and omit the kebabs, it is, no doubt, the city of hers (not even God could have dinner at one o’clock).
Yolanda Díaz’s reformist agenda is expanding and calls for advancing 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 schedules – he claims – are “crazy” that distances us from Europe (thank goodness, if with these schedules we have so many middle-class European tourists and retirees who settle…).
As was predictable, the president of Madrid felt singled out and entered the fray, with the support of the sector and citizens who favor dining when they feel like it. Hence, the vice president clarified after the fact: she said it in defense of the working class – apparently, at night, unlike during the day, they are exploited – and their mental health because working at those hours entails “certain risks” (doesn’t it Are you suggesting that they take drugs and drink to forget?).
Didn’t Franco already recommend that 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? Would it be advisable to nationalize the tourism sector? Is it appropriate to launch a promotional campaign for New Spain: “Hotels without pools, dinners from 8:00 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. “Not visa”?
I already understand that changing Spain excites a certain left, which aspires to a more homogeneous world, such that shopping centers, the same stores throughout Europe, and a State so strong that it feels capable of trying to regulate our schedules.
Something tells me that Isabel Díaz Ayuso is more on the streets, with its 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, from whose concept of the market and creation of wealth and jobs God save me…
