The long shadow of Soria

September 6 2016 (17:01 WEST)

Like a buzzard that flew so close to the Sun that it eclipsed the Canary Islands, and part of southern Europe, the shadow of the persona non grata once again darkens the panorama in media politics.

What a scandal! An element with an institutional position who was hiding money to avoid paying the corresponding taxes, who was stealing from his own State and, therefore, from the rest of the citizens who would have to benefit from what was collected in taxes, is now the best proposal that Spain has for the World Bank.

The case covers up anything else that tries to grab headlines in the mass media; the guy is the front page without lifting a finger, possibly, being on vacation in some illegal hotel or invited by those international mafias that will roll out a red carpet when Soria's revolving door stops spinning.

Meanwhile, who cares if the provisional government of Spain illegally appoints six senior army officers. That army that starred in the military coup of '36; the one that now barely endures the independence threats and the misgovernment that the right cries for, without being able to squeeze the workers more and increase the labor reform. A reform that has caused disappearances or freezing of seniority; salary cuts to impoverish workers; mass layoffs and precarious employment: poverty and social murders. All this unthinkable in the field of the Spanish military profession.

When some Canarian argues about the "danger of being independent from Spain" due to a supposed "threat of invasion" either by Morocco, by the United States of America, or by the very Empire of the war of the galaxies; I limit myself to reminding him a bit of history and placing him in the danger of belonging to Spain, which can sell you at any moment: as it did with the Philippines, Cuba or the Sahara. Let the Spanish fear their army, that's another story...

On the other hand, there is Soria's flight, which is still "so high" that he does not get to declare anywhere about the World Bank. It is not clear if the media is not interested or if he refuses to declare.

The truth is that, in my opinion, the Spanish candidate should end up entering that corrupt forum. This way we could disqualify him a little more.
