Julio Iglesias

and

Raphael

may seem like two sides of the same coin, because of what they are histrionic and intrinsically Iberian, but both represent, deep down, very different things.

Raphael is verticality

- the raised arm, squeezing light bulbs;

the child's high pitched choir;

the triumph of short stature over the law of gravity-,

while Julio is pure horizontality

-the mike that falls down the thorax looking for the groin, his recognized efficiency in the extramarital bed, those records that he sells even in Cambodia-.

Let's keep going.

Raphael is the infinite drive

-no one has been disappointed with so much aplomb with a new liver-, while

Julio is the Caribbean relaxation

, macerated with seafood, fruity cocktails and the ventilation of a pai pai.

Both are Spain, that of the taste for our archaic extravagances, but they are also expressions of two Spains, that of pure and unbridled talent, as opposed to that of the ball managed intelligently.

And the two mix.

This is not about choosing between DC or Marvel, or between sea or mountain, but about something deeper:

what aspect of the collective archetype, which Jung would say, represents us the most?

Raphael or Julio Iglesias

Spain is, in general, more of Julio than of Raphael.

41% prefer the Galician pachorra compared to 36% who go out of their way for the Jienense tronío;

the margin is so narrow that the survey would have to be analyzed with a magnifying glass, because the truly significant data is

that 22.9% who prefer not to answer

.

Don't they do it because the dilemma is unsolvable, like a

Zen koan

, or because there is an even more regressive Spain that has a reggaeton soul and doubts between Bad Bunny or Maluma?

We want to believe that the silence is due to the thorny aspect of the matter, since it is about looking into the depths of our soul and recognizing ourselves.

There are those who avoid contemplating that abyss, and it is understood.

Julio's empire takes hold with each age group: over 65 years, 57.7% are with him ironically

From the survey we are left with several interesting data.

The first, women are more than July -normal, many have had a child of his-, and his empire strengthens as the age group rises: above 65 years, 57.7% are with him at iron, while

Raphael dominates slightly among the young, despite not having as many memes

circulating on the internet.

Anyway, the crucial analysis appears on the ideological spectrum:

Iglesias likes more on the right

-not surprising since he uncovered himself in 1996 as an Aznar enthusiast-, and he exceeds 50% adherence among the electorate of PP and Vox.

At the same time, the socialist segment prefers Raphael, perhaps because he no longer remembers what he said to Raúl del Pozo at the beginning of his career (“I'm a Franco fan. I don't know how to tell you, it gives me confidence. what he does seems fine to me ”), and perhaps staying with his recent reconversion into an indie icon to the delight of ironic hipsters, which would explain that

among Podemos sympathizers he widely

sweeps

Julio, who surely likes little as a

lord

.

But Spain has spoken, and even by a narrow margin, promiscuity, binge, luxury and siesta have prevailed over Stakhanovism, spasm and monastic mystery.

It will be that we like the summer.
