To the beach

Spanish politicians are not cinematographically attractive. Not even in reality


Those who are going to bring the manna to Andalusia if they win insist to the point of pathos that the responsible people do not go to the beach on Sunday dispensing with the sacred duty of voting.

I suspect that the temptation of water in the midst of the embarrassment must be very strong.

For those with pasta, of course.

But those who appeal to the civic responsibility of citizens should not abuse the good of the country, but ask the staff to go to the polls because they can be left without the payroll.

The first seasons of the

House of Cards

series gave off morbidity and tension .

Because it was starring the devil and his appropriate wife.

They had talent, Machiavellianism, style, sophisticated or incendiary villainy, cynicism, limited capacity for blackmail, lies and manipulation.

Consequently, both would reach the presidency of the United States.

His intelligence and his wickedness were obvious.

But better villains like them than that millionaire beast devoid of the slightest charm called Trump.

And in Spanish cinema, Rodrigo Sorogoyen made an adrenaline-pumping and believable portrait of the very badass political corruption in

El Reino.

But little else, Spanish politicians are not attractive cinematographically.

Not even in reality.

I was surprised by the first seasons of the

Borgen

series .

The people who starred in it took democracy seriously, they respected certain codes, they seemed civilized in the midst of their battles for power.

The prime minister belonged to a party called the moderate right.

I do not know what that is.

Neither to the right nor to the left.

The last season of

Borgen

(Netflix) deals with the discovery of oil in Greenland.

It seems to me languid, insubstantial, too parsimonious.

But it is likely that an old and irreducible abstainer, like someone I know, would once have been tempted to vote if he were Danish, Swedish, Norwegian or Finnish.
