On top of the Autonomous Community’s very
debatable decision to allow Eurvegas to be built in Madrid, there is the absolutely intolerable
absurdity, the “legal humiliation” of unlimited permissiveness, the “lawless
state” of supposedly authorizing these acknowledged international predators to
engage in activities and actions that all other enterprises and citizens are
generally and sensibly prohibited from doing.
How can we brag about the “rule of law” if laws
are changed to accommodate this huge international gaming conglomerate?
I can’t believe that what they say the regional
and national authorities are willing to tolerate is true... although only a few
months ago I didn’t believe that they would respond to pressure from the
markets with budget cuts in healthcare, education and science... and not only
have they made cuts, but they are also jeopardizing achievements in social
welfare and democratic principles.
Messieurs Presidents of the Government and
Community of Madrid: proceed with caution, because bowing before those
potential profits may prove so embarrassing to a majority of the people that it
could trigger a genuine citizen rebellion.
We are already puzzled. And outraged, too. But
we are still restraining ourselves.
Don’t play with fire. Don’t change the rules of
peaceful coexistence. In the end, those who contravene the rules of democracy
always get burned.
