The goal of Zapatero

Now that the European Championship of Football has como to its end, it is time to make some reflections. First of all, and it is more true than ever, Spain is a nation. A nation full of people proud to be Spanish (remember the chant “Yo soy español, español, español”). A nation of people that is proud to wear the red t-shirt, and capable of reaching the success.

Second. The maxim “bread and circus” has become true again. Mr. Zapatero, his government, and the related media, have taken profit of the situation in order to make the Spanish forget or put aside the reality: the economic crisis, the débacle of the Spanish economy, the increase of the unemployment… Now the championship has gone, but… well, the vacations are coming… Two months of tranquility… There are analysts who are saying that the petroleum will be at 170 $/barrel, interest rates at maximum… but this is time to take a breath for the Spanish government.

Third. The attempt to distort the reality and the past by the related media to the government: Cuatro, SER and the Prisa group. Calling “the red” to the Spanish team, and calling the “Red square” to the Colombus Square on Madrid is a clear attempt to distort and divert the Spanish about the real roots of Spain (who has never been red…)

Fourth Mr. Zapatero can presume now of being “the first president on the democracy” on whom mandate Spain has won an European championship. This is true. But he did nothing to deserve this honor. Nothing. He is not capable of naming the word “España”. Mr. Zapatero would like to do as he was the one to kick that ball, and of course he will be acting as he will, but … he did not.

(Mr. Zapatero can presume also of being the worst president ever on the Spanish nation…)

And lastly: Mr. Zapatero is a jinx. There are two things, related to the luck, that exceed that jinx of Mr. Zapatero: the positive luck of the Spanish Kings, and the jinx of Ballack. Mr. Zapatero is a jinx, and always will be.
