For several months I've been missing on the map for work and personal. Now ripe to re-write weekly in the press, and also to resume this blog with such affection that I had in a while. Slow and laborious work is done with a group of normal, fast and easy to lose through neglect. Nothing I promise I promise nothing, and therefore anything I ask. Just say that I rejoice to hear of old friends and meet new ones if you dare to enter.
Greetings, and here is the column this week:
Greetings, and here is the column this week:
There are people who having had everything to succeed, end up failing after squandering his gifts. We all know people like that, celebrities, millionaires, neighbors or relatives that leave a residue of sadness in good people, and a taste of victory in the bad. Sentenced easily than we would have done better if we had the same cards, but things are not so simple, and letters are always those that seem to be. Similarly, there are countries that remain privileged climate, resources and people, languishing on the failure, when not engaged directly to bleed to death, alone or with the help of a neighbor. However, in these cases it is easier to investigate the causes. And then there's the mystery of the city blessed by the gods, but ruined by reasons border on the paranormal, go beyond the logic and challenge philosophers cities that are not in the third world, but perform worse than many of those in there, located in democracies, but in practice is still worth beyond the Iron Curtain steel, with access to culture and education, but that seems to live in the sleeping people that conforms to his ranch every day, cities, in short, like mine, like ours ... and Jerez.
could make sure that if he had materialized in Jerez tenth of the promised investments and projects over the past twenty years, would, in addition to full employment, Motorized city in the world, more art, more sport, more industrialized, the greenest, the cleanest, the best connections and the highest political class. Obviously, we do not. Why? By a lethal combination of ignorance, lack of drive citizen and lack of political honesty. Remitting far as I can remember, our city suffered long a biblical plague the person who was the mayor and most representative figure for decades. What may begin with good ideas and good intentions was sliding, lubricated by the slime of hundreds of toady, to the deification of the master and, consequently, his infallibility, His infinite grace and absolute power. From afar it looked like a nice story from around let themselves be hypnotized by her overwhelming personality instead of punishing her dangerous absolutism, and from within his party could only pay allegiance or be deported, because in the beginning the party was it, then also, and ultimately the same.
For when people get fed up, metastasis and had invaded everything: the city itself and the system imposed by the mini god and were a "holy duality" virtually inseparable. The agony was long, many fell by the way, but in the end, he was gone. And like all empires fall, there remains juicy and there were many who fought for them, and it was her ... She, who emerged victorious. And he knew he had come to a place where he could lie without fear because there would be consequences, which could be above the law while trampling the citizen and the law, a place with thousands of servants ready to obey the promise a plate of beans ... but she was not created him enemies are faster, both outside and inside, and although believed to be the queen of coated paper, did not hide or lie so convincingly as his predecessor. Was in for a very powerful machine (a mixture of inherited and which resulted in) a town that swallowed nearly everything, and ineffective opposition to indecency. Contrary to one thing: reality. Promised parks and wasteland were obtained, announced the jobs of 3,000 by 3,000, while the new stand of the year doubled that number, guaranteeing the implementation of lots of business impossible, and most were lost on a road that never came to start; boasted of seeking consensus, whereas he was the command and control, all as before, but with outfits of Vogue and half of putting fellow tripping.
far past and present. But may one day decide that these people do not like their leaders laugh at him, which is not willing to accept that their political class gift to herself with champagne in the attic, while pouring his urine on the mob that lives underground, in the cave. Maybe one day the people of Jerez decide they are not monkeys, they are not rabble, who are not blind, nor deaf, nor dumb. And understand that even though this city is sunk in misery, another Jerez is possible.
