Spain is the country in the European Union where the most politicians hold public office. There are no official figures, but taking into account national, regional, European and local positions, including directorates general, sub-directorates and advisers, the figure exceeds 400,000. The second country with the most politicians is Italy, which has only 200,000 government jobs, half of ours. Germany would be in third position with barely 100,000 politicians, yes, with a population twice that of Spain.

Are they needed? Is it normal that we have more politicians than teachers, doctors or police?

It is curious that when the President presents a book relating to his private activities, up to 14 ministers clear their plans to pay tribute to him. Did they really have nothing to do during these hours? We continue to work with 22 ministries, making us the largest European government after Italy and Sweden.

We are also once again the country with the most qualified politicians in Europe.

The region of Spain where the most politicians hold public office is Catalonia, which, oddly enough, is the only country that ranks at the bottom of Europe in terms of quality of life, below the Spanish average.

The hundreds of millions of euros it costs us to support politicians every year is part of the problem: national and regional MPs and senators alone cost us 700 million a year, but the total is more than 200 billion euros a year.

When the government and all its partners refuse to finally cut VAT on basic foodstuffs, they claim that they are doing so because hospitals and schools are being built with 4% VAT on bread and milk. The Treasury is breaking all records for tax collection, but they need more, they are preparing to increase 14 taxes for January, they claim that it is necessary to improve the situation of the poor and unemployed. Even the fact that 80% of European funds went to government organizations rather than citizens, they consider this the best way to redistribute wealth. They are never a problem. They have been deceiving us for decades so that they can maintain their privileged status quo, and we, like obedient sheep, pay without asking them questions.

Until 2018, the CIS made it clear in all its studies that Spain’s main problem was politicians; without seeking an answer to this growing concern, they set Tezanos so that it stops appearing as a problem in their demographic studies, at least in such an explicit form. They did the same thing with the unemployment figures, if you don’t know how to solve it, turn the unemployed into an intermittent permanent worker and exclude the 700,000 unemployed from the figures, she is an expert at this Yolanda Diaz.

Most of our politicians have forgotten for years what their duties and functions of the public service are. Citizens did not vote for them on open lists, and their party leader ranked them better or worse on the lists, not because of merit, resume or experience, but because of the blind obedience they promised in return. . We have seen what they are capable of when occupying power, even if they lose the elections, there is no self-criticism, no ethics and they blindly believe in the fish memory of the Spaniards and that we are easily manipulated into doing or undoing for our own interests . They know that whoever dominates most of the media is in power, and they have a lot of money to do it. Day-to-day management is boring; building smoke screens is much more attractive.

This way of doing politics in Spain was born for some thanks to a Doberman video Felipe Gonzalez in 1996 that it featured not a Doberman, but rather a Rottweiler, and this led to the PSOE losing the election against Aznarbut to a minimum.

Others argue that this populist drift has begun Rodriguez Zapatero with his concessions to the Basque and Catalan independence movements, equating the superiority of his partners with false progressivism. But none of them went as far, in such a tortuous way and without any remorse as Pedro Sanchez. The remnants of Spain that he will leave behind when he leaves Moncloa will take decades to restore the rule of law to this country. But this will be the last time, we will not allow this to happen again.
