From the tribune of the Congress to the television sets, through the radio gatherings and the pages of the newspapers, the force idea is repeated that the political collapse of Spain is motivated by the great size that the egos of our leaders have acquired. The egos of Pedro Sánchez, Pablo Iglesias, Albert Rivera and Pablo Casado would thus be the real ones responsible that we cannot have a Government with all the parliamentary blessings. Everywhere the cry is heard by those leaders of the past century who now appear as State Giants and I do not know if also as humble Franciscans and modest Tibetan lamas , compared to the current ones.

I would not dare to deny the major completely. Although I do not believe that the previous leaders possessed a less voluminous ego than the current party bosses. Aware that I take a risk, I venture to remember that the political leaders of a country are not born by spontaneous generation , do not usually come from the interstellar world, nor are they an Egyptian plague sent by God to punish Catholic Spain with chronic political instability .

Party leaders represent a society , are born from it and wear their style. A society in continuous movement described accurately and boldly by the Italian writer Alessandro Baricco in his latest essay: The Game . The book that details the birth of the new world after the "digital insurrection." Baricco points out the game - the game - as "founding scheme of an entire civilization." A civilization characterized by "ego hypertrophy" or "mass individualism." "What happens in the Game is that the ego of billions of people is fed daily with surpluses." As the repentant of Silicon Valley denounce, the divinities have injected into the brains of the users of their devices effective discharges of dopamine in the form of likes and likes. Pleasure that no one can resist. In fact, nobody resists. Only a stylist could disregard the joy that leads to expanding the size of our ego.

I am willing to accept that the ego of the leaders has something to do with political chaos. In exchange for all of us to recognize that they - because they are all men - have neither more nor less ego than journalists - yes, dear colleagues, I begin with us and us - columnists, analysts, economists, professors, intellectuals of all conditions, Language academics, and broad-spectrum tweeters.
