The Russians don’t come, like in the movie Norman Jewison. The Russians don’t come, like in the Ukraine. NATO is coming so Pedro Sánchez can walk around with his John Travolta gait in ‘Grease’ (Hughes wrote in a parliamentary chronicle that he walks as if he were going to a math competition). As long as Putin doesn’t send us a rocket salute (he would arrive in 50 minutes), everything will be an inconvenience.
And the inconveniences are tolerated. In particular, not stepping out on the streets, which the authorities recommend, take advantage of the fact that telecommuting became popular with the pandemic. In other words, another thing we’d been doing all our lives, but thought it would be necessary to name it if more people had to do it. What was always working from home needed a new name. You know, the feeling of staying at home. In other words, NATO, outgoing, no.
It is true that the NATO meeting implies a commitment of security to the powerful who are coming and inconvenience to the civilians who are there. But it’s also a pain in the neck that they’re sending World Youth Days to your city. A friend came back, not knowing what was being celebrated, and when she saw those people she asked: “Who are those ‘Flanders’?” Really, there were many who looked stupid.
But, wow, that’s not a first world problem exclusive to Madrid, although these two examples are from the capital. Let’s see, as a Murcian I have always fled from the Bando de la Huerta and the Funeral of the Sardine, even though it went to the Baños de Mula, to Murcia in a different way. It’s the crowd, drunk or not, that bothers. It’s not being able to do what you want, go where you want, take a cab. I wish these were all our problems.
