Ramón Tamames was ignored in the motion of which he was the protagonist, but all the attention he was given in the hemicycle was generously given outside. For the past few days, it has eclipsed all the black beasts that Torquemadas feed with smartphones. They were very busy beating Miguel Bosé and Bertín Osborne, who I don’t know if they thanked candidate Tamames for sacrificing himself for them, like the soldier who draws enemy fire, so his Comrades save his skin.

This truce in Tamames could be a good time for the Kulturkampf’s bellicose programs (there are many, from El intermedio to brightly humored radio talk shows) to reconsider their strategy a bit, as they see El Hormiguero and Pablo Bikes die Their enemies left a choice for them. They’ve gotten lazy, they’ve made it a habit to single out grumpy old famous men. Bertín Osborne and Miguel Bosé are classics. They are systematically beaten, almost without listening to their words, which are considered unbearable. This time one had yelled I don’t know what happened to Father’s Day and the other that before we were free.
Doesn’t that seem like too little? If your goal is to make the world a better place and fight sin, why settle for such stupid enemies? Why do you expend so much energy trying to refute the events of some gentlemen who don’t legislate, don’t have power, and haven’t invaded countries? Aren’t there still dark politicians, corrupt empires and slave companies to mess with?
The generation of Tamames taught us – although Tamames himself seems to have forgotten it – to choose our enemies wisely and to know which battles are worth fighting and which are not. And that takes more effort than keeping track of who’s showing up in El Hormiguero.
