The first page of 'The Country' in the print edition of the day that I just finished 'view', and should know, but that part of the rules I missed when it was passed in Parliament that recent reform of the electoral law imposed on private television proportionality criteria similar to those that until now had the public. What does that translate? Nothing more and nothing less that, when the starting gun of the campaign for the May 22 elections, all these companies not subject to the condition of public service should forget any informative approach when organizing debates or to devote the time of its evening news to this or that political party to comply with the law just to watch.
This change outrageous, it at least borders on the unconstitutional and violates the basic foundations of freedom of expression, is naturally supported by the major parties, mainly the PSOE and the PP, which are unable to agree on whether given time is day or night, not to mention already in the principles on which the general interest should be imposed on purely partisan, but when it comes to sharing the propaganda-capitalized, "not information, they can join forces to eat one both the cake and leave to others when not deny some crumbs of bread and salt: "Those and water," must think in unison.
When these criteria are applied only to publicly owned media always seemed to me that the public interest was a questionable argument. "There must be some," he said as long as "the is the most rational choice", leaving in question, in my view the professionalism of journalists working in the media, as if there were two categories of public and consider them a lower caste. However, the current spread to all audiovisual media not only eliminates this injustice but uses the old slogan of the poor to be equal to all below, or further muzzle the media, broadening the list of these, when it comes to 'sell' the counterfeit product that these powerful political forces tend to bring to market when the polls are close.
addition to restricting the absolute freedom of information exists in the electoral law, now extended by the electoral reform has taken place, an element which generalizes a criterion distribution of electoral areas based on the results of the previous call, ie as the English decided four years earlier. We all know that time may be also in politics forever, and you do not need to have studied at Salamanca to infer that, on many occasions in the current case, the criteria of the electorate may have changed somewhat, quite or much. That can mean that a party in free fall may be the upper hand as far as communication with constituents and other emerging concerns and projection is not permitted and head out.
This is one of the dire consequences of that in this country some years ago Bipartisanship has been imposed under the influence as imperfect qualitative, not quantitative, which can extend to imposing minority forces, or in the case of Spain, the disproportionate burden that the General Electoral Act granted to the national and, although it may occur alternating every four years, PSOE and PP agree that the few pens that once you leave this deal clearly wrong, your opponent will lose the next.
And meanwhile, as we picked up the paper the principle cited in an excellent report, the newspapers are being cut to "adders times" and private companies with their hands bound to implement its own information policy, without enter if it is aseptic or markedly partidsta.
Over we go, with such uniform rules, with both Law Guided by the numerical criterion for rationality, would not surprise me at some point to the great fathers of the country are now suffering the bulb lights and apply a puentual labor market reform based on the results of union elections. Simply put, they tell an employer when hiring that of the six jobs that you just created, four have to be for militants and two UGT CCOO, oaa Conversely, always depending on the results obtained by both plants in his last elections.
I do not know if it's a good idea to even mention something. As they say: "do not give them ideas," especially as some people with high capacity for decision and so little shame.
