Javier Macías: Sevillian NASA

Pedro Sánchez IS right when he focuses on ‘fake news’. In reality, he has built his entire mandate into a great farce, from the reasons for the motion of censure to the lies that he has excused in changes of opinion. For Seville, when … has happened, he has also made some jokes. The last thing is that his government is the largest investor in the capital of Andalusia since the Expo. But there has been more. In the middle of the electoral campaign for the municipal elections, which with its mere presence sank a large part of Antonio Muñoz’s expectations to re-validate the Mayor’s Office (he went so far as to hide the PSOE logo on the posters), he came with a candy to try to cover up the humiliations with the infrastructure and lack of budget financing. He arrived in Seville in the Falcon, appeared at Fibes at a rally that is exactly one year old now, and literally promised “the moon.” In his extensive speech before a dedicated audience he did not talk about the SE-40, the third lane of the AP-4 or the rail connection with the airport. The day after meeting with Joe Biden in the Oval Office of the White House, he came to promise us NASA. He had signed in Washington the incorporation of Spain into the Artemis project to send astronauts to the universe.

Upon arrival at Fibes pavilion 1, María Isabel’s ‘Better dead than simple’ had been playing, the lyrics of which say “I’m a rumbera / and I come to cheer you up / so that your sorrows / go to Mars.” The only thing missing was Melody’s ‘The Gorilla Dance’, because at that time Óscar Puente was risking relegation in Valladolid and had not yet become the troublemaker minister, scourge of the networks, nor had he called a head of state of a country a drug addict. brother country. But here in Seville everyone was crazy about Pedro for turning us into the new Houston: cheers, compliments and various outbursts from the stage by a sheepish Juan Espadas, who has all the ballots to be one of the first crew members chosen by Sánchez .

At that rally everyone celebrated the arrival of the Space Agency because it was going to change our lives. Seville, in the center of the universe. Why do we want roads, tunnels and trains when we could use spaceships! From San Jerónimo, no less! “From Seville to space!” Muñoz wrote euphorically on Twitter. Adelante’s candidate Sandra Heredia responded jokingly: “Antonio, in the meantime, let’s see if it’s possible that you don’t spend an hour riding the Tussam from Macarena to Torreblanca, because we’re going to get to the moon sooner than from neighborhood to neighborhood.

Today it can be confirmed that all of this was a scam. One more. A great ‘fake’ of the president. We have learned that only 32 people work at NASA in Seville and that the majority, in reality, do so remotely. Maybe they already do it from the moon. Or maybe you have to go there to look for the officials.
