The next day, May 22, 2011 will be held local and regional elections in Spain. This is an election to represent and illustrate exemplary vacuum. If you travel a few miles and go through towns and cities see the same posters and banners with the same pictures and the same slogan. These slogans are so general and impersonal that could be used by any person, political group, company, institution or association. Sometimes even jokes remind us more or less known as "you if you serve" or purely commercial messages or choruses of songs like "The important thing you ". I remember the refrain of the English Transition" with a sentence not win a people nor a poet disguise ... "by Mary Ostiz ... what right and deep!
In a Spain economic crisis, with about five million people unemployed, with major challenges, with a portion of his army in wars and conflicts in the territories of others ... as far as our politicians say and repeat and have the same nonsense and vagueness each day or become embroiled in "and you more."
To date I have not received any electoral program, no leaflet, pamphlet, magazine, booklet or message beyond photograph of a candidate ...
Indeed, propaganda is generally around a photograph of a person when in fact what it is or should try to choose teams ... But it is also in municipal and regional elections of provincial- now speak, of what it should be discussed is very specific issues, real problems, of pragmatic policies that have nothing to do with the vacuum and general discourse.
As provincial elections is curious that such schemes continue to be maintained nineteenth century. Are elections without voters. They stew it and eat them. Voters choose mayors and councilors and they then engage their own battles and set their own strategies to choose provincial deputies. Indeed, no messages, no programs or policies as such but a single tournament in camera. The booty, juicy, hides the rest of mortals. Equis posts, benches, seats, salaries and fees for very little power.
So, I still think it's best not to vote. Perhaps to a very high abstention be able to take measures to ensure that truth has firm proposals for substantial changes.
Either way, the vacuum is served and appears to have many followers.
