Votasteis gestos, tenéis gestos

Spain lives in the empire of gestures. Parliamentary democracy has become a theater and, in recent years, the Spanish Government, which has faced a very serious pandemic whose true effects we still do not know, has devoted itself to staging, lying and normalizing the abuse of the can. But why do we citizens continue to be trapped in this spurious and myopic vision, this predominance of the interests of the parties over our moral values ??and our personal interests? This question, crucial for the survival of individual freedom, is the one that María Blanco answers in this book. And he does so by going through some basic notions of life, from our political identity to the strange game of mirrors that are political representation and accountability, through the influence of the new political marketing, the importance of leadership in politics and the the way we accept the lies of our representatives.
