El contraste which was this past Friday, February 11 between the morning the streets of Zaragoza and "It's the morning of Frederick in the auditorium of Queen Petronilla Hotel was, at least, abysmal end.
Just walk a hundred yards from the place where I left my car to the front desk. A couple of minutes more than enough for the city I calase its usual fog and nearly freezing to the bone. Once in the auditorium, the temperature was comforting. The inviting atmosphere to sit back and listen.
The program had begun 6 in the morning, but the auditorium was opened at 8 am, and 5.8 was already full to bursting. After the initial ovation welcoming the public offer initiated by Federico, director of the program, to salute and pay tribute to the city that hosted the program esRadio, it was an attentive silence. A silence in which to be grateful and you felt happy to participate.
would highlight three important moments of those two hour program I attended:
One I could see that Federico Jiménez Losantos, Luis Herrero and Cesar Vidal, have the respect and affection of his audience. If I let go of the comments in a low voice that the audience heard about me, I think the difference esRadio based on other national programs is that their listeners have their own criteria and do so, either by the messages of the Broadcasters, led to independence from any political party, whether by the belligerence of these against any form of abuse, this comes from wherever it comes. And with relief - why should I deny it - I checked how the new generation of communicators feral personified that day and Javier Somalo Dieter Brandau, also present in the program, stepping arrives strong and confident steps on the path, often uncomfortable, regardless of the information.
This independence, in a English society, operated by its politicians to the core, has a price which, fortunately, many are still willing to pay: the label. Not only who, with successes and failures, leading independent opinion from the microphones and publications. The public also confess that follower. All, without variation, they become marked as "fascists" and "extremists." Qualified and from the media power, and from his master absolute power political. Unfortunately, it is the general trend in Spain to think and act with one-eyed gaze, regardless of whether it covered the right or left eye.
Two: José Ángel Biel, Vice President of the Government of Aragon and the Aragonese Party chairman, was the first guest of the program. For many Aragonese left, center and right, Biel is the personification of courage hinge Aragonese Party in a coalition supporting the PSOE in the regional government in exchange for other ministries and departments, resulting in a shut up and watch the other way when the Socialists of Marcelino Iglesias, President Aragon more bland and fruitless that has had this land, without disturbing governs Madrid and folds to the claims of the Catalans. And Biel is also the public face of a party which, along with socialist cup placed in the public administration and public enterprises satellites positioned and plugged by a finger.
Well. The entry of José Ángel Biel on stage, previously announced by Federico, could not be more descriptive by the public. Absolute silence, without applause, while Federico, Luis and Cesar greeted the Vice President of Aragon. The silence of those who thunders. An eloquent silence and revealing. No word had been explained better than anyone what is indifference. Or blame.
The interview, about twenty minutes long, was successful and lively. And Biel served as what it is: a politician who does not get wet when you should do and that is perhaps also why he manages to get a sufficient minority votes to be in different Aragonese government for two decades. Biel output stage was also silent. Silence. The audience clapped not even once. There was also no comment disqualifying that tarnished the program. Biel went as he came, disguised as absent as an actor his role, to be low and insignificant places him squarely in the indifference of a superfluous character in the script of a play.
And three: The next guest was Luisa Fernanda Rudi, presidential candidate of the Partido Popular Aragon. His presence was the counterpoint to all public indifference to Biel. The drive from Rudi, from the entrance to the auditorium to its seat at the table of the program, including the time when other fellow members stood up to greet her, was literally a roar of applause. I do not know whether Biel was still in the vicinity to have heard the public welcome to Rudi, but it was so, he would do well to take note of the difference.
Luisa Fernanda Rudi if he dared to point a commitment to cutting public spending, but said his plan was going to respect economic and social policies of job creation. He lost no opportunity to recall, as in previous interventions in other media of his intention to audit the accounts of the autonomous region to know exactly what means the government would have to start working, and recalled that she and her collaborators, and found themselves in a similar situation when they came to the City of Zaragoza.
also referred to political preserves PSOE and PAR have been defined during these 12 years of coalition government. Specifically, he referred to the Ministry of Environment, whose taxation is held by public enterprises responsible for recruitment and management of budgets. Cesar Vidal then asked if, under this circumstance, the Cortes of Aragon can exert some control budget to the ministries operated by public companies to what Rudi replied negatively, noting that precisely the existence of these public enterprises is made political and economic control of those ministries to promote partisan and personal interests of those who govern.
Luisa Fernanda Rudi farewell to the public between endless applause that led her out of the auditorium. Of the many messages received in the program during the interview with Rudi, or by sms or email, I think that best reflected the sentiments of the audience was invited to the one that made reference to it, along with Esperanza Aguirre María San Gil, and women courageous and necessary in English politics.
auditorium Marché at 10, when he still had two hours to finish the program. I took a general look at the audience and surprised me a lot of young people were among the attendees. I was pleasantly surprised that so many English, between 20 and 30, displayed interest in politics and current events. Perhaps, despite the efforts of those seeking to brutalize people, not all is lost.
