It's not right.

A friend told me she was able to go to work today because she bought a high-speed train ticket yesterday and slept at my mother's house. Thank goodness. But she doesn't know how long she'll have to do the same. Because nobody says. What's certain is that it won't be worth it for her to work if she has to keep paying for high-speed train tickets for a journey she should be able to make with a regular train.trainof the commuter rail. This is one example. But there are hundreds of similar and much more serious ones. Because the problem is that, long before the recent accidents, she, like so many other people who travel around the country on these commuter trains, had a history of accidents. trains Renfe's commuter rail service lives in a permanent state of uncertainty. And anguish. Because now the cup has overflowed, but users have been living with this situation for years, and no one offers them any solutions. Their jobs, their livelihoods, depend on their mobility. So do their hospital visits and any other visits they might want to make. All that's missing is permission for people to travel according to the purpose of their trip.

No one who can afford anything else chooses the commuter rail to get around Catalonia. It's not a whim. It's a necessity and a right. A right that is currently suspended indefinitely at a station. What Catalonia is experiencing these days is due to a dereliction of duty for which both the Spanish and Catalan governments are responsible. They are incapable of resolving the lack of mobility for thousands of people or solving a nightmare that has been affecting the workers of this country for years. Excuse me. When I say they're incapable, I mean they simply don't want to. Because the solution lies in willpower and allocating resources. We have the money, but the trains aren't in working order. Everyone is furious, and the hours, days, months, and years go by. It's outrageous.

When there's a strike by transport workers, it's the rest of the workforce who lose the most. Clearly. That's why it's difficult for society to develop empathy for these workers, who are easily labeled as lacking solidarity. This is another problem, and that hasn't been resolved either. More chaos within chaos. And the feeling that those who should be paying the price are not only not paying, but are actually getting themselves into trouble at some local bar. Everyone should make an effort to stand with others, but when the problem is endemic, so is the despair, and the people of Catalonia have had enough. Although I'm also surprised by the serenity with which, outwardly, most people express their outrage. It's frightening to think that we're resigned to incompetence. It's frightening to think how exhaustion can eventually stifle our capacity for protest.

But people have enough work, and what they have depends on trains that never come. Political parties, on the other hand, now have a lot of work. Not because they get to their seats by train, but because misfortunes are opportunities.

So many self-proclaimed saviors of the nation are appearing that they embarrass us. Among other things, because the nation doesn't matter to anyone. The important thing is for people to lose their memory and remember that the most important thing is to save their own cars. Thank goodness we still have those who, in the midst of this misrule, open their homes and take in the wounded. Because, right now, we are all wounded. And many doors remain closed.
