Let's see, honey, we know each other. In this country, corruption no longer causes a scandal, it's celebrated. But it depends, of course... on what color tie the corrupt person wears. It's not the same to steal with a fist and a rose as with a seagull on your lapel. Because the "all parties have rotten apples" thing already smells like rotten fruit since the Transition.
These days, the PSOE has had to take out the mop. One more case of corruption, yes. And what has the party done? Expel the person involved, cut off the finger before the hand becomes gangrenous. And what has the opposition done? Take out pom-poms, do somersaults and celebrate the fall as if they didn't have political corpses in their closet. Spoiler: they have an entire cemetery.
But how curious, right? Because when someone in the PP puts their hand in the till - which, be careful, it seems that the till already comes with a QR code for looting - they are not expelled. No, honey. They are given immunity. They are protected. They are sent to the Senate. They are applauded. And if you push me, they are given a street. Does a certain M. Rajoy ring a bell? Because to this day we still don't know who the hell he was.
In the PSOE, when someone screws up big time, there are consequences. They are kicked out onto the street. They show their face. They take the shame. In other parties, however, corruption becomes a merit for promotion. It's like a gamification of theft: if you stole a little, councilor; if you stole a lot, senator; if you denied everything, president!
And meanwhile, the citizens are watching the circus and wondering why we are so fed up. Well, because a stain is not the same as an industrial laundry. Because assuming is not the same as covering up. Because while some clean their house, others throw the rug over you to hide the political corpses.
So yes, the PSOE has to continue cleaning up what gets dirty. Because whoever does it pays, and if they don't, may their faces be filled with shame. But don't come to me, Mr. Seagull, to give lessons in ethics with your pockets full of envelopes and the newspaper archive full of legal cases.
Do you get it or do I have to spell it out for you in envelopes?
