Laureano Álvarez, candidate for the mayor of Teguise, gave away, really, really good, tattoos for free. For everyone. There is no age limit, neither above nor below (once you reach majority and only for residents, of course), it was his gift to share “our love for Teguise”. You went where you were told and they marked you. Love and politics for Teguise in full bloom. Forever.

With equal enthusiasm, Ramón Celma promised that, in the event of victory for the PP, he would pay 80 cents for each rabbit killed in one of the 81 municipalities of Zaragoza where they feel that this animal is surplus. And if, already in Madrid, Roberto Sotomayor sold in the name of Podemos the construction of 131 beaches (or whatever) for each of the neighborhoods of the capital, Díaz Ayuso also offered a plan for each balcony, patio or roof (without specifying what will be done in the case of houses without a balcony, patio or roof or if you don’t even have a house) of all the Madrid municipalities where they have their own. Pedro Sánchez also entered that same tender.

The president improved the president’s bet by ensuring that, wherever the PSOE wins, “all the neighbors will have a park less than 300 meters away, they will see three trees from their house and their neighborhoods will have 30% of plant cover”, meanwhile, at the other end, Abascal lashed out at everything and everyone outlining a plan to put an end to climate paranoia.

Promises, promises, promises…absurd, or not, but promises, those of tattoos and rabbits, those of beaches, balcony plants and trees for everyone and even those of Abascal’s stubborn anti-ecological fanaticism with which at least some at some point in this fraught campaign have shown some interest in our affairs. For ours For that massive generation of boomers and first millennials, those already in their forties and fifties, who are left with a nosebleed and no two-euro cinema, free travel, universal inheritances, bonds, improvements in retirements …

We old boomers felt excluded. We have been excluded. And yet, there are many of us. So many that we are also the ones who decide tomorrow. If we vote, clear. We promise nothing.
