They only had one job, and they did it badly.

In his memoirs, he admits to "having disappointed" and being the victim of many "weaknesses" and "errors in judgment due to love and friendship" with "bad company." He is King Juan Carlos, but he could be President Carlos Mazón, if he didn't have the audacity to summarize his dereliction of duty, which cost the lives of 229 people, by saying that "there were things that should have worked better." Yesterday, in Valencia, people were shouting in the streets, "While "He ate, people choked," just as they could have shouted at the Spanish monarch, "While he hunted, people were ruined." Both had only one job and they failed.

Now it is sadly evident that the parties and institutions do not understand what all these behaviors signify. It is devastating for them too, whatever their political affiliation. Very dangerous for democracy: that we don't matter, that we are of no interest whatsoever, that we are a nuisance. That clinging to power at any cost and the lack of empathy and humanity have surpassed the consideration we deserve. "We are forced to wait for the court's summons." The point is to always win, deny everything, and never accept blame for anything.
