Campaign The thirteen pearls of the first Andalusian electoral debate: Of balls, prawns and 'Frankenstein' Vs 'The exorcist'
They had baptized it as 'The decisive debate', the last one before the elections that are held next Sunday, and it did not disappoint.
The six candidates for the Presidency of the Board brought the lesson learned and recited it before the cameras of Canal Sur Television, but more than once they skipped the script to deliver the occasional blow (more than two and more than three) in a scenario that, at times, resembled a
boxing ring
in which there was also time for sex lessons.
This is
the most striking part
of the (not always friendly) exchange between Juanma Moreno, Juan Espadas, Macarena Olona, Juan Marín, Inma Nieto and Teresa Rodríguez.
Sexeducation.
The Vox candidate, Macarena Olona, tried to poke the president of the Board, Juanma Moreno, with the textbooks and the "indoctrination" that, according to her, they contain.
In particular, she criticized the fact that these books teach 10-year-olds what masturbation is.
It is, she compared, like putting "people from the park" in the classrooms for whom the police are called, alluding to exhibitionists or sexual aggressors.
Moreno replied that his books are "expired merchandise", but the most forceful was the candidate for Adelante Andalucía, Teresa Rodriguez, who recalled Woody Allen: "Masturbating is making love to the person you love the most", he replied, defending the sex education.
Prostitutes and brothels.
The Vox candidate was also the only one who brought up the corruption cases of the socialist stage and, faced with the defense of Swords of the aid of the EREs, asked if they were used to pay "the prostitutes in the brothels", in allusion to the scandal of the Faffe
black
cards with which parties in hostess clubs were paid for.
A marriage petition?
Not only was sex discussed in the electoral debate, but also about love?
The formal statement was made by the Vox candidate and the recipient was the president of the Board and head of the PP list.
Olona asked Moreno to be "his vice president" after June 19, forgetting the criticism of the campaign, and thus "kick Pedro Sánchez in the butt of Espadas."
Of course, Olona specified to the PSOE candidate that "it is not personal."
Moreno's forgetfulness.
In this debate, Macarena Olona played a role halfway between accomplice and creditor, reminding the president of the Board whenever she could that she is because of the votes of her party.
"He forgets that he is president thanks to Vox and he surprises me," Olona told Moreno and Espadas did not miss the opportunity: "He is president because he closed a pact with Vox."
Nieto's pilgrimage.
At the gates of the Radio Televisión de Andalucía headquarters in La Cartuja, where the debate took place, public workers from different entities gathered to protest against the Moreno government and the candidate for Por Andalucía, Inma Nieto, reminded the PP candidate to the first change.
"It's not a pilgrimage," she told him.
A truck or a pen?
The popular
candidate
built a shield against the attacks that all the others directed at "incontestable" databases and when they were answered he replied showing his red pen.
"This is a truck, not a pen."
Fadi the cow sneaks onto the set.
Juanma Moreno's talisman - a photograph was taken in the previous campaign and has been taken again in this one - was waiting for the president at the door of the debate, with one of the protesters in disguise.
And Swords asked her if she had to "disguise herself as a cow" so that he would notice her and answer his questions.

The tank looking for owner.
In the exchange of puyas, the famous tank that the Ministry of the Interior sent to Cádiz during the last strike in the Metal sector to fight the riots appeared.
The first to mention the tank was Macarena Olona, who wanted to endorse it to Teresa Rodríguez, to which she replied that those who were inside "were from Vox" and even left it in writing on the balls they threw at the protesters.
Face of Susana Diaz.
If there has been an absentee in the 2022 electoral campaign, that has been Susana Díaz, the last president of the PSOE Board and with whom Juanma Moreno was measured in December 2018. Like a ghost, she appeared in the debate, invoked by the candidate for Por Andalucía, who made Moreno ugly that "she is getting the face of Susana Díaz", above all, she said, because of her "arrogance".
"And she already knows where Susana Díaz is now..." Nieto warned the PP candidate.
Iberdrolone and its actions.
One of the occurrences of the debate was the nickname given to Olona by the head of the Adelante Andalucía list, Teresa Rodríguez.
"Iberdrolona", she baptized her because of the actions that the Vox candidate has of the electricity company Iberdrola and criticizing her for rejecting renewable energies if they do not benefit "oligopolies" like Iberdrola that report benefits to herself.
The concrete mixer
The urban policy of the coalition government of the PP and Ciudadanos was one of the targets shot by the candidate of the coalition that includes IU, Más País, Podemos and three other minority groups.
Inma Nieto used the concrete mixer as a weapon: "They see a concrete mixer and they go crazy," she snapped at them.
The politiqués, a new dialect.
There is not much distance from love to confrontation and Olona asked Moreno at one point to "stop talking about politics, that nobody understands him" and urged him to answer if he would be his vice president if Vox wins the elections.
"That is a delirium," Moreno was heard.
The torrijas of Juan Marin.
The Ciudadanos candidate, Juan Marín, had the opportunity to remember his good hand in the kitchen and, especially, with traditional desserts such as French toast.
Olona put them on the table (so to speak) to attack him, but Marín had a sense of humor and congratulated himself because "I make them really good."
The "little heart" of Swords.
The continuous allusions of Juanma Moreno to Juan Espadas as "Sánchez's delegate" in Andalusia filled the glass of patience of the socialist candidate, who asked to be able to exercise his right of reply because "one has his little heart".
