One of the ideas that this crisis has generated is that 1% of people dominate the ways of life and destinations of another 99%. We live in a small, ridiculous minority, so it should not be so difficult to turn things around if they are so few.
The idea is good because it is strong, but at the same time it is absolutely false, because in all areas of society power is organized according to a pyramidal structure, that is, in the upper vertex there may be only 1% of the world's inhabitants, but on the second scale, let's say, 3%, 1% is as responsible for the situation as that, and almost dislikes the same height of that 1% the advantages of power. Every time we go down a staircase in the pyramid, the percentage of people in the pyramid increases and decreases the responsibility and the level of power. To what degree of the pyramid does the weight of the upper structure begin to be unsustainable? What percentage of the population support it?
Another idea that has left us the crisis is that yes, everything is very bad, but -- you can't do anything. This has been repeated constantly, not rarely in an interested manner, that is, “nothing can be done”, and then, in their own conscience, “and why!”, because they are very majos, if the origin does not harm their interests, of course.
Most of us have gone between the rage of generating the first ideas and the despair of the second, and we have gone astray, without the situation being able to guess the answer it would deserve. That is why, when a few months have passed, I turn back and I find the attitude of the former director of the Department of Finance of Navarra, Idoia Nieves, who put a lot of herself, for honesty, without expecting anything, even more worthwhile. Their generosity questioned the government and the reality, and who knows, can still be decisive, in political terms, their contribution. For the time being, however, this was nothing but disgust.
I do not know to what extent the pyramid places you as the director of the Department of Finance of Navarra, closer to the vertex than the base, of course, but not so high. Trying to escape pessimism and optimism, I think that, assuming that most people in the most elemental links of the pyramid will be in favour, it is enough for a significant number of middle class individuals to say that they are not going to start changing anything, neither here nor anywhere.
Personal involvement is essential for this.
