Karlos Arguiñano , that nice and empathetic man, who seems to be unaware of depression and bad vibes, currently announces those famous cubes or pills, you know, intended to increase the taste of our homemade stews. He says: " The boiled bland, they lack a chup-chup ." That is, the cube of maras.
Certainly, a bland boil is a great calamity for the palate eager for enjoyment, in addition to being a pleonasm. Or almost. It can be boiled with salt, of course, or with some other seasoning ingredient, but the boiled, the merely boiled - and from there, to the plate - immediately evokes a feeling of calmness and soberness that surrounds the disease. In fact, when one is recommended or, worse still, they are prescribed to keep the boiled in their diet - boiled fish, boiled vegetables - is that it is already for a few trots or that there are plenty of kilos left in the eye.
Spanish politics, in principle, does not need a chup-chup. Rather, it is full of chup-chup, of flavor, of smell, of color and of other ingredients that, already put, also end up in or as heat, stench, torpor, horror, heat and vigor. In return, it lacks love, humor, splendor and sweetness, although it is also not convenient to go over with sugar.
It has not been invented, it seems to be, for the kitchen or for politics, the chup-chup that provides truth, equanimity, serenity, goodness, objectivity and other substances that end, also already put, in ad . A rice, well looked at, would not contribute anything, but the political leaders would sit down wonderfully, and we would all win.
They say that the cubes and the pills have plenty of salt and plenty of fat. In that they do resemble Spanish politics, too salty and too greasy , in word and deed, with salt and fat that harden the arteries and bind the muscles. Result: overweight.
And therapy? Boiled fish, boiled vegetables. Damn! We return to the starting point! But perhaps, at this time, we should accept a bit of cough, that for a while - just for a while, huh? - the political landscape was a bit bland and a bit tasteless. Life has other emotions that would undoubtedly compensate us for the lack of flavor of politics.
However, and since the evils never come alone, it is necessary to add that little will be advanced if the boiled thing is missing a boil. And that is what, in the end, our politicians lack: not a chup-chup, but a boil. A better mixture of water, fire and cooking time.
