Music
- I'm not a good dancer. I can't move according to the rhythm. That is why I am glad not to be a journalist. Because a very large number of journalists in Spain have to be able to interpret very well what music requires.
In 2016, for example, former President of the Spanish Government Felipe González laments in the Ser the results of the PSOE: “In Euskal Herria we were never so bad, we did the things we did, ta-pa-pa.” What did you do? A normal journalist would ask him, but he was silent – because he knew what they had done or because powerful men should not be asked such a question. Most newspapers called it lapsusa. To Gonzalez's statement, not to the journalist's silence.
The melody of these days is that of the scandal: We have to be scared because in 2006 Dolores Delgado, then prosecutor and now minister, ate with a commissioner who was in the state sewers. Ah! If there are sewers in the state! And the PSOE knew it! Who would have thought it! He also called the judge and today Minister Grande-Marlaska Maritxua. He will become a saint criticizing the criticized for what he does not deserve criticism.
The exiled rapper Valtònyc made a more appropriate criticism of the minister of judges, in an interview given in Brussels: “He’s fascist.” On this occasion the journalist, Cristina Pardo, was not silent: And why do you say that he is fascist?, he asked him – because, being from Pamplona, he did not know torture, or because it is legitimate that the powerless people who have had to flee should get a little squeezed in the talks.
Sometimes it calms down, others are surprised, others become severe. Some journalists need a good ear to correctly interpret the music of the moment. But they'll give you the score beforehand, don't you?

Hirietako egunerokoa interesatzen zaio Sarah Babiker kazetariari; ez, ordea, postaletako irudia, baizik eta auzoetan, parkeetan, eskoletan, garatzen den bizitza; bertan dabilen jendea. Lurralde horretan kokatzen dira bere artikuluak, baita iaz argitaratu zituen bi lanak ere... [+]
The other day, as I was walking through the famous television series The Wire, there came a scene that reminded me of despair. There, the management of the newspaper The Baltimore Sun brought together the workers and alerted them to the changes that are coming, i.e. redundancies... [+]
