Generous readers will forgive me if today I return to the wheat fields with the donkeys, or rather to the Conchero with the cows. But the local government in my city has agreed to wash its hands and look to the future. … On the other hand, in the case of the fatal accident of a young woman from Vila García de Arousa, who was gored and run over by a bull taken for a walk on the whim of members of the Ramista council, she was branded as a nationalist, infected with medievalism and herd greed.
At that time, the news spread throughout Spain. This lawsuit fully justified that. Because in cities, on the days when the streets are the most crowded, it is not common to take a cow’s head out for a walk on a mere whim, without anyone asking for such folklore figures. Cows and cows agitated by the stress of unfenced streets, crowds and cement. Tinder and gunpowder in the middle of the crowd.
It was like that. This was a tragedy (we’re talking about deaths, not injuries), but the City Council is currently going to ignore it. Because, as one of the city’s great luminaries said, “It’s the fault of two engineers.” As with the Valencia dana, the culprit was Radio Nacional de España’s weather forecast.
Ramista sensibilities were perfectly described by the majority. However, the mayor’s absolute lack of empathy was also evident, as the vote tilted the balance toward the heartless side.
It is assumed that the families of the deceased have filed a corresponding lawsuit in court. Because the council’s responsibility is public and irrefutable. And let’s believe that the compensation determined by the judgment is not just change. The bad news is that, more or less, that money will not come out of the pockets of those who caused the damage, but as always with you, dear reader.
In any case, keep a careful memory and take notes in case the time comes to flatter, mail or distribute pamphlets.
