That Pablo Motos's relationship with Pedro Sánchez is not a good one is not an open secret. Since the Prime Minister repeatedly refused to be interviewed in El Hormiguero , Pablo Motos has a thorn stuck deep in his heart. A thorn that does not hide or hide. It is not the first, nor will it be the last time, that the presenter throws a poisoned dart at the politician who raised him.

However, and beyond the thorn, the management that the political class in general, and especially Pedro Sánchez , is making of the coronavirus crisis goes far beyond the anger of a presenter with a president. Last night, Pablo Motos took it out, was at ease and sent an applauded message to whoever wants to pick up the glove, so that Pedro Sánchez picks it up: "Are you politicians really not going to work as a team to improve people's lives? " .

Since the new and adapted version of El Hormiguero to the coronavirus began, El Hormiguero: Stay at home , every night Pablo Motos dedicates the first 10 minutes of the program to take stock of the situation, to send some advice, to analyze in What point are we at, to give advice to better confinement or even to give guidelines for doing sports at home. Last night, the first 10 minutes of Pablo Motos were not for those of us at home, they were to release the rapapolvo that if possible we would all release them to the political class.

A message that was a poison dart, not only for all political parties, but especially for the Prime Minister, to whom, without quoting, he sent a message that a good listener few words suffice. Why? Because since this terrible situation has begun, we citizens have rested our shoulders, we have followed the instructions, we have listened, we have endured and we continue to endure, we have done and we do heart guts and, above all, we all row in the same direction . Few politicians can say the same, none can say the same.

While the Spanish have become an example to follow, their political class is leaving much to be desired. They only show division and continue with a war that without the coronavirus would be the same war as always, but which now only serves to embarrass them. They are not called, nor are they heard, nor speak, nor dialogue, and they are unable to reach agreements so that the ship remains afloat. With the platform that involves presenting one of the most watched programs on television, what is strange to me is not the attack last night by Pablo Motos on politicians and especially Pedro Sánchez , what surprises me is that it did not occur before, above all, bearing in mind that Sánchez is not a saint of the devotion of Pablo Motos .

Whenever a politician comes to the fore in El Hormiguero , Pablo Motos always has the weapon ready to shoot Pedro Sánchez . It is clear that there is no good feeling between them and that the presenter will never forgive the president's redress when he refused to come as a guest during the two rounds of interviews with the politicians that El Hormiguero carried out in the last two elections. But last night was more than a bad roll between presenter and politician on duty. Pablo Motos' message last night represented a good part of the audience because it is the message that a good part of the citizens would be delighted to tell them if they were in front of them.

Pablo Motos began his argument by trying to explain how teamwork occurs. For this he used the simile of the so-called white fish, those fish that move as if they were just one to protect themselves from the bigger fish. Fish that come to an agreement, that know what is the role of each and that swim in search of a common good. "In a real team, the best idea wins , not the one the boss says and even more if the boss has many mistakes already made," said the presenter who did not need to quote anyone. The message was clear for whom it was intended and why.

"White fish are very small animals that live in schools and when they are attacked they all move at the same time, simulating the silhouette of a shark with its mouth open towards the fish that is threatening them. If you look closely, you will see that the fish move at a time . This mystery of nature demonstrates how well it works teamwork when the enemy is great . you know why? Because there is no selfishness. I wonder if politicians could learn from the fish. how Are you politicians not going to work as a team to improve people's lives? " You can say higher, but not clearer.

In one day, like many of us who have been since all this started, where politicians were again heard lashing out at each other , where the government talked about meetings with the leaders of the other parties without even calling them telephone to summon them; where one only seeks to discredit and seek the benefit of one and not of all; where criticism and attacks are the predominant voice; where respect shines for its absence; where you don't listen and you only order; where everyone swims in the opposite direction, Pablo Motos' message could not be more accurate.

You can only get out of this by paddling all at once. It is not worth that one wants to row to starboard and the other wants the sailors to mutiny. What matters is that there is a captain, whom the sailors respect, and that he shows his respect for them, so that everyone works for a common good, the good of reaching the best port , the good of all arriving safe and sound , for the sake of the crew.

Hartita I am of 'and you more' and of 'it is that to me not ...'. If they do not want the boat to sink or they begin to put the batteries or when they want to realize the water will reach us so far up to the neck that there will be no way to refloat the boat. And everyone, EVERYONE has to start doing their part. Citizens have already done it, now it's up to them. It is useless for one to push in one direction if everyone goes in the opposite direction and it is useless for everyone to go to one side if one goes the other way. Ideas are lacking, humility is lacking, everyone needs to put aside their differences and focus on what they have to focus on.

This is what I think Pablo Motos tried to make them see with an analogy of the simplest. If a school of fish manages to think, move and adapt all at once to fight a common enemy, how is it possible that the political class is not able to do it? For Motos , the problem is clear: "For there to be a real team, there must be an honest proposal, without politicking, there must be respect for the opponent and there must be the will that a true team wins the best idea, not the one that the boss says, and even more if the boss has many mistakes already made. Perhaps the time has come to face reality, forget selfishness and be a good white fish. " Too much asks Motorcycles .

It is not necessary to read between the lines, it is only necessary to put the subject in the phrase of Motos, and the subject is none other than Sánchez . He did not want to name it, but clearer water. I do not know if there is a leader in the schools of the white fish, but I am convinced that in order for this machinery to work all at once, each and every one of the fish that make up that school does not try to kill the one next door or nor push him to leave the group. Our political class, however, about a united and cohesive school of fish is a dream that seems increasingly unattainable.

Only in the first days since the state of alarm was decreed was a small glimpse of unity seen. The joy in the poor man's house was short-lived. Now from that moment in which it seemed that all the fish were swimming in the same direction, there is nothing left, a mirage remains, an oasis remains. Pablo Motos's dart , his revenge, his brutal warning makes more sense today than ever. If they are not able to give in now, to agree, to put ideologies aside and focus on what really matters , when are they going to do it? The answer is clear, never.

The coronavirus is a common enemy, it is not an enemy of the right or the left, it is an enemy that attacks everyone, wherever you come from, think what you think and believe what you believe. Only united, only thinking of the good of all, only setting an example, only listening, only contributing can be faced. If our political class is divided and unable to reach agreements, how are we going to fight a bigger sham?

"We need politicians who work as a team," said Pablo Motos . And to work as a team, each one has to fill his or her place, the first Pedro Sánchez . "Perhaps the time has come to accept reality, forget selfishness and be a good fish in the place that you have, " launched the presenter in clear reference to the Prime Minister and the place he should be occupying.

Because if something was clear in El Hormiguero last night, it is that Pablo Motos is up to the fig of the politicians of this country. Yes, of Sánchez, especially, but it does not save any. A Sanchez gave last night brava cañita, but also gave Rajoy when Cristina Pardo showed images of the former president of the Government bypassing confinement. "Mariano Rajoy goes out for a walk because he thinks he is special . " ... And the blows keep falling. Last night there were hosts to distribute among all.

As Joan Manuel Serrat , one of last night's guests to this new Hormiguero , said afterwards , when asked how he confines himself to his wife, "if you are united, it reinforces; if there is a bad feeling, you must change your attitude." And the same that works for marriages, couples, etc. It should serve the political class. If there is a bad feeling, if they cannot stand it, if they are not united, if they prefer to drink tabasco before talking to each other, what they have to do is "change their attitude" . Pablo Motos asks too much, he shows much hope in a political class that is leaving much to be desired.

That the message of a presenter of an entertainment program is so applauded by a good part of the audience, says many things, but above all it says one: what Pablo Motos said last night is a desperate cry from a whole society. It is necessary that they listen to it, that they hear the worker who has become unemployed, the employee who has had an ERTE, the self-employed, the parents who do not know what will happen to the course of their children, the young man who doubts if he will arrive prepared to selectivity, to the doctors, to the nurses, to those who have fallen ill, in short, to all the fish in the school. Because what Pablo Motos said last night is the message that perhaps the ship's captain should have endorsed.

No, Pablo Motos does not like Pedro Sánchez . No, Pablo Motos would not go with Sánchez to have beers as he did with Rajoy. No, Pablo Motos will never forgive me for leaving him standing. But last night's message, although it may have some resentment, even if it removes a little more the thorn, is a message that if things had been done well, no one should have given it anyway.
