Latest / Autoras de palabra con Rosa / Marta García Aller: "La historia es como una barra de sushi en la que los políticos que parecían desaparecer vuelven"
Transcript
- 0:05Who has not dreamed of making a journey in time, one that takes us
- 0:08back to other centuries to witness war deeds, social changes, the birth of
- 0:15many inventions, a journey in time, in the past time. Yes,
- 0:20I think we' ve all wanted to do it once, but in this
- 0:24case, however unlikely the journey may be, it places us in the two
- 0:28thousand and seventeen. From now on, barely seven years ago, years of
- 0:33dog Marta garcía read in word authors with welcome pink. Thank you very much,
- 0:38Rosa, because thanks to you I open this interview, with those seven
- 0:42years, which seems to be nothing for those who, perhaps we have experienced
- 0:45some personal experience. We say, yes, that time has passed, but
- 0:49I do not know if we are aware of all the changes that have occurred
- 0:53during those seven years. Look, we' re not even aware of what
- 0:58we' re talking about day by day and our training is our job.
- 1:02We' re not conscious. And I' ve noticed and notice that I
- 1:03write about the present, I write about the present in a rigorous time and
- 1:08I write about putting the chronicles one after another, well, from the end
- 1:14of the year, sixteen out of seven years to here and suddenly, you
- 1:17start to see everything that' s happened, how we' ve changed.
- 1:19And I' ve come to realize it gives you more vertigo than the future.
- 1:23At vertigo it is at the speed at which everything is changing and at
- 1:26the speed at which artificial intelligence, technology and so on puts us in front
- 1:30of the mirror of time. But looking back, that does leave vertigo.
- 1:34What the world was like before Trump, how the world was before the myth,
- 1:40before the pandemic and the Prussian and so many things that seven years ago
- 1:47seemed like they were going to go through other lanes and all of a sudden,
- 1:52we put them all together and you say my mother. All this also
- 1:55happened who that mother of mine. The human being adapts, we adapt h
- 1:59h o and that is the good news. I think we need to see
- 2:01behind this. What happens is that he has a trap that adapts. It
- 2:07is to adapt, it has the trap of normalizing certain things that we may
- 2:10not like and therefore we have the opportunity to change them. In adapting,
- 2:15I think we should not confuse it. With conformism, the good one.
- 2:19This has happened and we tend to see as inevitable what previously seemed unlikely to
- 2:24us and that relive in real time through these chronicles, the dog years,
- 2:30in which everything happens so fast that everyone is worth by seven suddenly seeing how
- 2:32good everything could have been otherwise, that is, that this blog is about
- 2:38to arrive in the future. We can always change it if we adapt,
- 2:44it won' t analyze. That is and I think there are many,
- 2:47many issues that have happened that we run the risk of analysing. The technology
- 2:53of the mentioned received in artificial intelligence is one of the things that to me,
- 2:58is one of my neuras, that fascinates me, I love and terrifies
- 3:02me equally and throughout the entire book of those seven years collected begin to see
- 3:06how we are normalizing it. The dog years begin, when the word of
- 3:15the year of two thousand sixteen is, then, true. We were beginning
- 3:19to talk about the truth post. We were beginning to talk about fake news
- 3:22when Trump won those elections against all odds in front of Hillary Clinton in the
- 3:27fall of the sixteenth year. And all of a sudden, it' s
- 3:30not like we don' t know what they are anymore, that everyone knows
- 3:35what the truth is and the fake news and so on. We just don
- 3:37' t know whether or not something' s human anymore. It is that
- 3:38we end up with two thousand twenty- three having GPT chat and deep fakes
- 3:46and artificial intelligence, not only in text, but also in audio and envy,
- 3:50turning the concept of truth upside down. And sometimes I think it'
- 3:53s important and I' ve tried it modestly in dog years, not just
- 3:57being stuck to the political currents of the dimsy DS, of the politicians on
- 4:00duty, because they come and go. Just take a walk for years of
- 4:04dog, a trip in the present time to see how many leaders who looked
- 4:09like they were going to revolutionize everything suddenly sound like wet paper. Yeah,
- 4:14but there are background changes that don' t go away, which aren'
- 4:17t one- day names that are changing everything. Feminism is clearly one of
- 4:21those great movements that is changing everything. There is another background movement, which
- 4:26is the rise of the extreme right, which also and that of the populisms
- 4:29that began seven years ago, and technology is another of them. So,
- 4:33well, in dog years they' re day to day at the last hour
- 4:36to be able to digest it. But also those tectonic plates that are changing
- 4:41the world and that have come to make very profound changes. You speak or
- 4:46warn at the beginning of articles that they are wrong and turn out to be
- 4:51the most enlightening, so you just said precisely clearly. Well, there are
- 4:55some, for example, when per Rivera was the big favorite of all the
- 4:59polls, he will be the favorite to be the next President of the government
- 5:02and Mariano Rajoy and Observe will happen. How this has aged and those years,
- 5:08seventeen and up to eighteen, until that motion of surprise censure in thirty
- 5:13- one of May of the eighteenth, which we all remember for the bag
- 5:15of Soraya San de Santa María, the people, the vice president of the
- 5:19government yes and who was then in turn favorite to be the president of the
- 5:25People' s Party. How different Spain would be if Sorayas Ante Santa María
- 5:28had won that Popular Party Congress. There are many that would have happened yes,
- 5:32in dog years and helps us put it in perspective, because you say
- 5:34clearly this happened, but something else could have happened and everything would have changed
- 5:40at that time and they thought about alber rivera Pablo Iglesias. There is also
- 5:44a time when it seems inevitable and journalistic chronicles point to the fact that the
- 5:47Socialist Party, which is crumbling after Rualcava and with Pedro Sánchez expelled from its
- 5:53own party on board the pelló touring all the groups of the Socialist Party,
- 5:59looking for a support to the desperate with its healthy and incontestable favorite day to
- 6:02be the new leader of the Socialist Party, which neither was and Pablo Iglesias.
- 6:12Well, instead of being the leader of the left, he' s
- 6:14now a gentleman with a podcast and a bar in Lavapis. So check it
- 6:17out, Lor. Here' s what happens. That' s why I
- 6:20tell you years of dogs, a journey in time, because you read it
- 6:24and say, my mother. This happened, too? This also happened not
- 6:27to mention the most failed forecast, most tragic of all, which is that
- 6:33spark plug virus that we thought was not going with us. Yeah, that
- 6:39happened and came, too? That happened, too? And that also came
- 6:42in or one of my favorites to surprise readers that I think many of us
- 6:47don' t remember this until you read it and say," Mother"
- 6:50This also happened when the President of the Community of Madrid had to resign because
- 6:57there were some videos with creams in Cristina' s bag, cyfuentes after the
- 7:02master' s scandal, that scale of the master' s so poorly managed,
- 7:08and those chronicles help to think Mother, everything could have been otherwise.
- 7:12Yes, everything could have been different, because it also sounded like Mariano Tajo
- 7:15' s successor. There were some internal power struggles and, well, there
- 7:19are several future leaders of the People' s Party who never were during the
- 7:23chronicles of curious dog years that many of what you just told were about but
- 7:28something always happens. They have a bright future behind them. Yeah. Yeah?
- 7:33Yeah? Yes, and we also have the impression, or we have
- 7:38the impression that we are always living in a continuous present that does not,
- 7:43despite all those changes do not pass into the past. It is also a
- 7:46bit the idea of being here in that constant present constantly, because I think
- 7:49we consume and notice the verb I use to consume, which is not especially
- 7:56beautiful or non- reflective. Of course, we consume last hours, last
- 8:01hours above our assimilation capabilities. Yeah, there' s a bit of last
- 8:07- hour informative bullying that' s happening to each other without us finishing it
- 8:11up, and that used to say that today' s paper is the wrapper
- 8:16for tomorrow' s fish. Now, since all the news that comes to
- 8:20us is digital, we can hardly wrap the fish with them anymore. But
- 8:24I just think the exact opposite is happening. At a time when we are
- 8:26saturated with last hours of informational stimulus notifications that do not allow us to deepen
- 8:35the context, that is, to review the things that happened and that we
- 8:39did not have time then to assimilate that it is a little bit the proposal
- 8:43of years of dog- watching. These past seven years have passed so fast
- 8:46you haven' t heard about it, stand up for a while. We
- 8:48are going to go out of space and, besides, playing what would have
- 8:52happened if something else had happened that could have been perfectly possible. And that
- 8:56' s why it' s the time travel, the game with the reader
- 8:58in the dog years, which is to go, jumping from date to date,
- 9:01like those books from when we were little, choose your own adventure.
- 9:05Yes, well, when you read the chronicle in which Alves Rivera appears the
- 9:07favorite and citizens, it is a booming party and comes to renew all politics
- 9:13and bipartisanism is in decline. Well, there' s a little flame that
- 9:18puts travels to the date when it' s the election where in two thousand
- 9:24nineteen Albert Rivera end up resigning. Or when Alberto Núñez, fixed to speak
- 9:30of a more recent date, seems the favorite to win the 23rd J.
- 9:33Well, travel to the twenty- four J. Moreover, he discovers that
- 9:39the one who said they would never approve Amnesty because he has no problem trading
- 9:45with it his own investiture. Then things are happening that seemed unlikely to us,
- 9:50but that in the end, in such haste, we ended up conceiving
- 9:54as inevitable. And I think he' s got a lot to see,
- 9:58given a lot of time perception, how our perception of time is changing,
- 10:03and you have a dog. The truth is that we ask ourselves very clearly
- 10:07dogs in the end, as they live less years, we have made to
- 10:09equivalence of each one worth by seven. Yeah, even if it' s
- 10:13not true, when a dog is one year old it' s equivalent to
- 10:16seven human years we said no. That' s not the same thing.
- 10:16He' s not thirty when he' s four. No, but the
- 10:22perception of time, I think, is changing us at the present time,
- 10:26has a lot to do with technology. Totally if we perceive that time passes
- 10:30faster, it may have a lot to do with what we were talking about
- 10:33with the amount of stimuli we received. Being attentive to many things at the
- 10:37same time makes time fly away. When we focus our attention on one is
- 10:43when we are more aware of what is going on. But on days like
- 10:48these, when we have the attention paid to one thing, we rarely have
- 10:52it. But notice that in this digitization in which, for example, we
- 10:58read the press and I think it doesn' t matter what medium you choose,
- 11:03the period you choose, because the headlines are practically the same or vary.
- 11:05But the news is always the same. And maybe that. You didn
- 11:09' t have it on paper before, as you don' t have it
- 11:13on the radio either. What we had before with the paper was the attention
- 11:16fixed on a support object, on a support, an object that also,
- 11:22because someone could interrupt you around, but then you could continue in that reading.
- 11:28And now, in reality, all the ones to choose one medium or
- 11:31another. It' s just that in reality people just choose one medium or
- 11:33another. They get the news, you' re not going to get it
- 11:37anymore, they' re coming to you. It' s a totally different
- 11:41way for us to report. And besides, not only does information arrive,
- 11:45disinformation arrives completely and in a number of contents we' re going to call
- 11:50them, so sometimes what they generate is more confusion. That' s why
- 11:52in dog years it' s the vindication of context to say look, there
- 11:58' s a selection of things that have happened that help you put it in
- 12:01context. This was happening at the same time that there was a pandemic about
- 12:05to arrive the pluss that do not notice the things that have happened in Spain
- 12:09seven years ago still the Prussian sounded joke, yes and fear. Where we
- 12:16are, who was going to tell us that we had there, so,
- 12:18demon being able to come back after how he left. History is not linear.
- 12:24There are some I say that it' s like the sushi bar in
- 12:28which there are characters that disappear and come back again and well look. There
- 12:33we have Trump in part and about to return, because de Monts is spinning
- 12:35and another series of leaders who never finish ie ever and some names that seem
- 12:41to us, because that paper is very wet. Very wet. You have
- 12:48said a number of things, for example, feminism. Seven years ago we
- 12:52also did not think that progress would be made as much as progress has been
- 12:56made. Much more progress needs to be made, but progress has been made.
- 12:58For example, the blonde theme is, it also appeared in your book.
- 13:01It could have been an anecdotal thing ten years ago. However, you
- 13:05start pulling that thread and many more come out. I don' t know
- 13:09movie directors who were so far elitist, they were at the top and it
- 13:13turns out that they have their heel of aquiles and they dare to tell it
- 13:16and denounce it. Seven years ago, Jardy Weinstein was a renowned producer of
- 13:20origin of the most powerful Hollywood. Seven years ago, Donald Trump won an
- 13:26election saying that if you are a powerful and rich man, you can grab
- 13:31the women in the crotch and nothing happens. And he proved that nothing happened.
- 13:35Moreover, he has now lost a trial in which he has lost several,
- 13:41but one of them is declared a sex offender who has approved a sexual
- 13:48assault and is the favorite to win the United States selections. In other words,
- 13:54it has been clear that it was the myth that surely would not have
- 13:58happened without the shock that the life of a man as spiritedly macho as Trump,
- 14:03who spoke in macho terms of his own daughter, came about. Of
- 14:07course that removed many consciences and was already enough for women in much of the
- 14:15world who dared to say high things that with which we had been transiging and
- 14:18that had normalized for years to say, but they are rather centuries. This
- 14:22has changed, but there has also been a rebound effect and both phenomena coexist
- 14:28with the advancement of feminism with the advance of antifeminism. I think it is
- 14:33very important that in progress towards equality they also combine with a lot of pedagogy
- 14:39so that everyone understands, because it seems that there is a part of society
- 14:43that still has a hard time that gaining progress in rights and freedoms does not
- 14:52take away justice from anyone. On the contrary, it brings it back to
- 14:54us all and to all where it has not been, but understood as confrontation
- 15:01it feeds the rebound effect of anti- feminist forces that are now, unfortunately,
- 15:07in my opinion, with more force than ever before. Unfortunately, the
- 15:09monarchy has also changed a lot in these seven years. Well, King Juan
- 15:13Carlos is another of those characters from the sushi bar that appears and disappears and
- 15:18a few years ago ten has been turned ten since Philip is the son of
- 15:24Juan Carlos I, he is the king of Spain. But much less time
- 15:28ago Juan Carlos I stopped being exemplary in the eyes of the citizenry and the
- 15:35tax agency. It was the year, the summer of the twentieth, when
- 15:41the verb that we use went into exile, but he decided to leave Spain
- 15:50and also change his fiscal residence, in case immunity did not help him to
- 15:56ensure that he had no more problem with justice. You have had problems with
- 16:00another justice, but at first, it does more when the book begins,
- 16:04it is still controversial and it is nice to put it in context that King
- 16:10Juan Carlos is not invited in two thousand eighteen, on the forty anniversary of
- 16:15the Constitution, and is King Philip. It is this that good and with
- 16:17the government of then those who believe that it is not the most convenient and
- 16:21little by little, as time progresses, we understand certain decisions, just as
- 16:25we understand the decision of King Philip is this to get rid of his father
- 16:30' s inheritance when we are in full confinement that of course, all this
- 16:33is buried. That is why it is so important to say again ah this
- 16:37happened here and as we have, the reader knows more than the chronicles that
- 16:41are written, because he has a perspective of time that when they have been
- 16:45written in real time, we did not have. And then there is another
- 16:47controversy that accompanies the monarchy, well, in this case, King Emeritus a
- 16:51time that is why they don' t let Emeritus go back And the approach
- 16:56that I do in dog years, well it' s not possible for him
- 17:00to go back to King Juan Carlos to where he wants to go, because
- 17:03he wants to return to a Spain that no longer exists exactly, to Spain
- 17:07that looked on the other side of certain disorders to the press that didn'
- 17:11t confront him with its contradictions And it' s Spain, fortunately, there
- 17:18isn' t even the monarchy that looked on the other side, because the
- 17:22exercise of transparency that King Felipe has done is important. And another phenomenon that
- 17:23I think is very important, which explains how the monarchy has been modernized in
- 17:27Spain. She' s the queen leticia. It is the queen leticia that
- 17:32years ago is a certain part of the press of public opinion, tried to
- 17:37portray it as a problem for the monarchy and has proven to be its most
- 17:45powerful catalyst for modernization, that Spanish public opinion has no problem if it was
- 17:52divorced twenty years ago, when they were married, because everyone understands that they
- 17:55marry out of love. The fact is that the controversy itself in Spain twenty
- 17:56years ago. Now it' s a chronicle. The anachronistic was the monarchy
- 18:02conceived, as was then made clear. Then I believe that the time spent
- 18:06is also doing justice little by little, with what Queen Leticia has assumed as
- 18:11an element of modernization of the monarchy and, of course, now also Princess
- 18:17Leonor. All this with the contrast of that of the fall, in disgrace,
- 18:25of the image of King Juan Carlos, who was untouchable for a long
- 18:32time and then, therefore, has been exposed to public opinion in a way,
- 18:36well, that has confronted him. I mean, with their contradictions.
- 18:40The mud of Spanish politics is very much removed, or never enough. The
- 18:45truth is, if we want people to read news, we should, we
- 18:52should try to clean up the mud. I say that we do not have
- 18:55to expose the miseries that the press was for. No more important function.
- 19:00The fourth power I expended to put those. Those good malpractices politicians can have.
- 19:07But I think sometimes, in the constant search for conflict to make the
- 19:11stories more attractive, we sometimes forget to tell the substantive. We talk a
- 19:19lot about politics and little about policies of what is being done to improve the
- 19:23lives of citizens. And I think that in Spain there are many more consensuses
- 19:27between the big parties, between the PP and the PESOE, than the parties
- 19:33themselves try to seem. Seeing how the rest of Europe is, with the
- 19:37far- rights, gaining incredible power, with many anti- system parties,
- 19:42gaining more and more power in Europe' s big economies. Spain is the
- 19:45only big economy in Europe in which bipartisanism is still powerful, which is another
- 19:49of those circular journeys of Spain from the dog years of these last seven years
- 19:55begin to seem like bipartisanism and right now good. The last European elections,
- 20:02two out of three Spanish voters voted for bipartisanship. That is to say,
- 20:07there are great consensuses and Europeanism is clearly one of them that we share.
- 20:12The Spaniards with center left, center and center right. In other words,
- 20:17there are many more consensuses in Spanish society on issues such as abortion, autanasia,
- 20:22egalitarian marriage. Many questions that in other countries, in France and Italy,
- 20:27without going further, divide society in Spain have an overwhelming consensus, that
- 20:32is, that we stop portraying Spanish society as with a polarization that has a
- 20:37lot of theatricality and that can be the prophecy that fulfills itself. Therefore,
- 20:45to underline the differences, because I believe that the consensus is still there.
- 20:48The far right. The far right, if there were other leaders, as
- 20:52in other countries, would succeed in Spain or come closer to victory. Well,
- 20:56I think that in Spain we are fortunate to have far- right leaders
- 21:03who are much less bold than they are in neighbouring countries, because there is
- 21:07a reactionary, very clear and anti- system wave that has radically turned in
- 21:12Europe over the last five years. If it is the Greens, the favorite
- 21:18party of young people, and if it is the messages of climate change,
- 21:23the ones that mobilized most of the public opinion, Greens and liberals, who
- 21:27were very aligned, now it is the ones that are the most backward and
- 21:33it is the young, precisely the youngest, who interpret themselves behind the rise
- 21:37of the extreme right. And you have to wonder why. Why, why
- 21:40is it so much anti- system vote, because the system is clearly disappointing
- 21:44young people and politics and institutions are failing to seduce them. Then I don
- 21:52' t just think demonizing we' re not moving forward. I think we
- 21:56must also ask ourselves what has been done wrong in these years. And I
- 22:00think that' s good. There are a number of phenomena, those tectonic
- 22:03plates that said they' re moving, that have to do with uncertainty.
- 22:06It has happened in other moments of history, when the greater the presentation of
- 22:10vertigo, the more future have those who sell hair grower and recipes with seemingly
- 22:18simple ones that will fix your life, that it is proven that they do
- 22:22not work, but that in moments of despair sound more attractive. Then you
- 22:26have to work on how to make more attractive, another series of recipes that
- 22:32are more complex, but that work. The equator social changes, political change,
- 22:37changes, but we have changed, we have enriched values. I don
- 22:42' t think you think it would depend. I believe what values we are
- 22:47talking about, because the value of equality I think is right now, for
- 22:49example, at a very central level. I believe that there has been a
- 22:56lot of progress in LGBT rights. There' s never been so much,
- 23:00you' ve never had so many rights to love each other who you love.
- 23:04And that in Europe as well as there is anti- feminism, there
- 23:10is also an anti- LGTB movement that is reacting, that the singers of
- 23:15journalism, the values of the news a little bit. No. I think
- 23:18young people are kind of discouraged. He loves it. Yeah, that'
- 23:23s right. It is true that what is in retreat is the hope and
- 23:29illusion that the future will bring us something better. Sociologists have a very revealing
- 23:33way of measuring uncertainty, because clear in surveys how do you ask people from
- 23:40one to ten how much uncertainty do you feel? It is not easy to
- 23:44compare and in the present era, which I believe is behind the rise of
- 23:48populisms, there is certainly much more uncertainty than had been the case in previous
- 23:52decades. The 1990s, for example, were the paradigm of optimism. And
- 23:56I don' t think that in the' 90s, necessarily if they lived
- 24:00better, also a crisis. There were far fewer acquired rights than we have
- 24:03now. Yes, but the feeling when people were asked is that their children
- 24:07will live better than you, which is the metric to measure uncertainty. People
- 24:11were convinced we were going to get better. I mean, I mean,
- 24:15you' re okay, because you can be fatal, but the outlook for
- 24:19the future is good. And now one of the things that happens to us
- 24:22is that the outlook for the future is bad. It' s not that
- 24:25we have few, we' re bad. It necessarily depends on who you
- 24:27ask, but there is a generalization of the feeling that we are going to
- 24:33get worse then, until the hope is recovered that we can change things and
- 24:37do the best. That reactionary force will certainly gain ground, because people perceive
- 24:44it to be worse. Immigration is another of the big issues that the duck
- 24:49is paying for, and it' s believing that if things don' t
- 24:53go better, it' s because of the weaker people, those who are
- 24:57even more unprotected and burden the inks against those who have the least and who
- 25:03are expected to die. So, unfortunately, it is a recipe that is
- 25:07getting adherents in much of Europe. And if there are no public services for
- 25:11everyone, I think it is not the fault of those who have the least,
- 25:15it is what will have to be invested more in them. I think
- 25:18this is something that I have happened relatively recently, not that of two thousand
- 25:22seventeen here, for example, the President of the Government, who can retire
- 25:25for a few days because he is deeply in love, possibly within a relative
- 25:30time. Let' s also have to remember this. Well, there are
- 25:36others, there' s a record in dog years, but there' s
- 25:40a relatively recent one. The last page. I' m going to spoil
- 25:41the listeners and hope I leave it to your freedom in the middle of spoiler.
- 25:47Looks like he' s finishing the book and suddenly there' s a
- 25:49pen last page that puts last hour, last hour. And the last hour
- 25:52takes us on April 29, two thousand twenty- four, which is a
- 25:56date we should remember. Speaking of the theatricalization of politics and which is the
- 26:02day I went years of dog to thirty, everything had to be stopped well,
- 26:07I should have gone. It was Monday, April twenty- first,
- 26:08I remember it perfectly and Friday with stop, that is, no, no,
- 26:15no, no, no, no. A moment to be done here
- 26:17because, if the President of the Government issued, of course, the introduction,
- 26:22the concept of reflection, the idea that Pedro Sánchez begins in the peyo
- 26:26and look at it are still in Moncloa, because if they do not continue
- 26:30in Monclois, the book will come out. I was already alone. It
- 26:34can' t be, but I thought it couldn' t be. True
- 26:37this because I had written in the introduction. The introduction. In addition,
- 26:41I remember I put the end point on March thirty- one, just around
- 26:45the turn of Easter, and I joked in the introduction saying when I published
- 26:48because years of dogs, my fifth book. For in the above, which
- 26:52are the end of the world, as we know it, and the unpredictable,
- 26:56which are two essays on the future and technology, the social changes that
- 26:59are bringing us, it helps you a lot to put also in context where
- 27:03Samus clear when I brought the end of the world, as we know it?
- 27:07It was September two thousand and seventeen September of two thousand and seventeen that
- 27:14is when the Pruses begins to fade. That' s when Spain went crazy.
- 27:17I remember working. Then at the independant. They sent me to cover
- 27:21the one or Girona, to the most independent city, thinking that I would
- 27:23go to a weekend and come back and finish having to go to a clothing
- 27:27store to buy a change, because I had gone for two days and stayed
- 27:30a month and a half because it seemed like I was about to start the
- 27:33revolution. All the time and I called the paper and said no, stay
- 27:36a little longer. Stay a little longer. I was. All of a
- 27:38sudden, we didn' t know what was going to happen and we were
- 27:41responsible for everyone, wanting to be gemingüiy thinking that Spain, well let alone
- 27:48that the next book, which was the unpredictable, fell apart. I have
- 27:51the date marked very clearly on my head, because his date of departure was
- 27:56March two thousand twenty. Of course we know it happened on the 14th of
- 28:00March of two thousand and twenty. Then I, when I took out that
- 28:03book, suddenly we confined everything and confined itself to the book itself, and
- 28:07I joked in the introduction of dog years, saying clearly it took me a
- 28:10few years to rewrite another book, because I' m afraid what can happen
- 28:12this spring. And all of a sudden Sanchez says that five days of reflection
- 28:17and maybe quit was my mother' s. I mean, it can'
- 28:19t be and in the end this spoiler is the last hour. So I
- 28:23don' t do it to the readers, because they know it as well
- 28:26as I do What happened was nothing happened, nothing happened, nothing happened,
- 28:30but everything happened at once. The feeling that we live in the constant wire,
- 28:33that everything can change at any time, in reality is the thread that
- 28:37accompanies all the years of dog, these seven years that actually, each one
- 28:42is worth seven, because everything can change, all the time and in the
- 28:47end there are things that seem to change so that everything stays the same,
- 28:49but that in reality, because the world is so different from what it was
- 28:56like in two thousand, seventeen and more changes now already in June, because
- 28:59you let write this date, set this date, because it seems to me
- 29:04that it is when everything starts to change. The book starts right when Mariano
- 29:08Rajo is here and look. It' s just that Mariano Rajoy seems to
- 29:12be playing domino smoking a cigar. I can imagine him reading the brand with
- 29:15Spain running three hundred and peak days, running in the government that we never
- 29:21ended up having government and we joked with Mariano with all his calm, saying
- 29:26well, you will already give in and give in. It was the Sanchez
- 29:30where Sanchez' s epic begins. He' s not no, but it
- 29:33was the time when everything seems to be standing, that nothing happens. And
- 29:36that' s when everything starts to change. And that' s why the
- 29:40book is divided into three very clear parts. One is when everything changes and
- 29:44begins to change and suddenly, then, the nitu begins the herd that in
- 29:48Spain has an impact on the policies of incredible feminism and the pluss that also
- 29:56begins with Rajoy in Moncloa. He thinks it' s okay. Moncloa said
- 30:00that I would not have referred to myself and see if there was any Piolín
- 30:04and all those things that you should now remember to put in context that are
- 30:11back to being current. Then it seemed that nothing changed with a person like
- 30:14Mariano Rajó and in Moncloa, but everything was changing deeply and the process was
- 30:17a very clear example and suddenly it was changing everything and everything by the time
- 30:22the pandemic came. After the excitement of censorship, it accelerates. But there
- 30:26was a government of Sánchez, the Bonito government, which they called very technocrat,
- 30:33less ideological with the Sánchez that said that Jamán could not sleep if he
- 30:37agreed with churches and promised to bring pus de mon back to be tried later
- 30:44and suddenly everything for with the pandemic, which is the second part of the
- 30:48whole. For the world it freezes hundreds of millions of people confined in their
- 30:53homes, something we didn' t think we could have seen everything for them
- 30:57and suddenly it seems interesting to relive that, although I know it' s
- 31:03hard to revive the pandemic, but it' s an interesting journey. This
- 31:06is to see how we saw it, how we were changing and the changes
- 31:10we thought if they arrived forever would not come. That yes, which is
- 31:11the highest point of uncertainty. When we didn' t know how to stay
- 31:17or when we could go down to buy bread? We didn' t even
- 31:19know when we could take a walk with the kids. There were so many
- 31:22things that we didn' t know, that we don' t realize that
- 31:26out of a lot of uncertainty, we have certainties that we maintain. But
- 31:27with the pandemic it was total uncertainty and suddenly when the pandemic ends. It
- 31:33does not end when the WHO says that it ends, that this came after
- 31:37the pandemic ends when we stop paying attention to it, when suddenly something else
- 31:41happens that we thought we would never see, and that putin orders to invade
- 31:47Ukraine, another of those things that we found unlikely, that up to twenty
- 31:52- four hours earlier, the information suggested that this could happen in Europe,
- 31:53a war in Europe. We' re crazy, because this happened, too.
- 31:56And as soon as putting invades Ukraine, the pandemic takes a back seat,
- 32:00because we have that war at the gates of Europe, with an energy
- 32:04crisis and an inflationary crisis that is also behind it. Without it we could
- 32:07not explain the rise of populisms, because what I tell you one news is
- 32:12covering another. It' s a very interesting memory exercise. Years of dog.
- 32:16Thank you very much. I had a good time. I have to
- 32:19say that I have had a good and bad time collecting it, but it
- 32:22has helped me a lot now that those of us who are engaged in analyzing
- 32:27the current situation and sometimes that' s why we' re even at the
- 32:29end of the day. I understand that my job is not only to write
- 32:31newspapers, it is also to read them and digest them and then to give
- 32:37them a little feeling to the one who doesn' t have time, because
- 32:42he has a real job he doesn' t have like our other job and
- 32:45the rest is true and what has helped me to do this hemeroteca job and
- 32:49I have had a great time, is that I have laughed a lot by
- 32:52reviewing some of the things, the contradictions that were going on, that you
- 32:58said my mother, that is, the same total blonde person is, that
- 33:00you said Rubia the blondes is along with everything dog, sometimes as a hero,
- 33:05when he himself self- authorized as a defender of women' s rights,
- 33:09for having taken in the Euro Cup, the European Cup, to the
- 33:14Super Cup Saudi Arabia and presumes in a way that it turns out very horny,
- 33:20let' s say it and quite hypocritical, to have helped or contributed
- 33:22to the rights of women in Saudi Atavia, for having made football stadiums that
- 33:25have a women' s costume and allow them to enter the women. When
- 33:25the cameras of Western countries are rolling, at the same time there are the
- 33:30Saudi feminist activists who are there and they play their ass off. They'
- 33:36ve been played in jail simply for trying to defend the right of women to
- 33:44drive in Saudi Arabia So, how can you be claiming that, because there
- 33:50are a few women with their heads covered, while the cameras are doing propaganda
- 33:54and whitewashing Vincelman' s regime, you' re helping which women, if
- 33:59there are others, who can' t go to see her end of the
- 34:01Supercup because they' re in jail for asking for women' s rights,
- 34:05because all those hypocasies of the moment. Then they get to their peak with
- 34:08the little one at the end seems to me to find out what' s
- 34:13happened. He hasn' t done anything wrong. He still doesn' t
- 34:15understand what happened. Even later, even after resigning, he continues to understand
- 34:20that it is the outside world that owes him an apology. And that'
- 34:22s what blondes are all about. In fact, it is a good thermometer
- 34:24of how society, well apart from society, has not digested these changes,
- 34:29that the dog years advance very fast, but we do not digest them as
- 34:32quickly as they progress, because it is as if there were no, nothing
- 34:35had been known about what has happened in the last seven years, as feminism
- 34:37has stayed to live in the twentieth century and this caught him very big.
- 34:42Sure, well, he' s either very smart and pretends to be the
- 34:45one I haven' t heard from. But, well, that' s
- 34:47another topic. I don' t know, I don' t know if
- 34:51he' s smart or not, but he' s too morose. That
- 34:52' s right, so much more, so thank you very much. Kill
- 34:54for years of dog you' ve done what you say a very interesting exercise
- 35:00more that part than a. I mean, if you want to go on,
- 35:02keep going around, yeah, so it' s like I tell you,
- 35:07you remember the news, but at the same time you want to know
- 35:12what' s next, what happened next with that thread and Union that you
- 35:16' re doing conductive at the end. It is a journey in time,
- 35:17a journey already in the present time, continuous and it is also a journey
- 35:22in our own contradictions that does not hurt us at a time when we tend
- 35:27to always inform ourselves in bubbles that give us reason to suddenly stand in front
- 35:31of things that may have been otherwise. I had a great time. I
- 35:36hope that the readers too and that they will accompany me on this journey.
- 35:38The book can be read in leaps and I think that is quite similar to
- 35:42how our memory works, which is not linear, which is sometimes also a
- 35:45game of mirrors. Yes, and he hears that in the end it is
- 35:52playing to understand us a little better and to refresh, well, thank you
- 35:54very much. A pink pleasure to do this was domando tota
