There are many people who believe that wealth is the vice par excellence of humanity, the vice most capable of corrupting a person.<\/p>\n
Certainly, the insatiable thirst for wealth can generate many evils, but it is not the most dangerous vice that humanity suffers from. There is a much worse vice: the thirst for power<\/strong>, often linked to the thirst for wealth, but not always. The possibility of dominating other people and manipulating them at our whim<\/strong> is a temptation that we have suffered since our childhood and against which many of the efforts are directed (or should be directed) when educating a child. .<\/p>\n The extreme cases of being in power occur among those who enjoy it in greater doses: the rulers. The damage that a power-hungry ruler can do is enormous<\/strong>, and that is why humanity has been concerned about putting limits on political power. However, there is a way of exercising power that is difficult to limit because it is protected by secrecy: an example is the mafia<\/strong>, which is capable of doing anything to subject others to your wishes.<\/p>\n Yesterday, at the beginning of the investiture session in the Congress of Deputies, the mafia attitude of some Spanish politicians<\/strong> came to light, an attitude that until now had been protected by the secrecy of a negotiation perverse in which S\u00e1nchez and his Socialist Party have marketed with our Rule of Law<\/strong> to obtain the necessary support to remain in power.<\/p>\n This Wednesday, many Spaniards will have attended, perplexed, the embarrassing spectacle of separatist politicians who threaten the government<\/a> and they presume to subject him to their whims<\/a>, and all this in exchange for support for the re-election whose bill all Spaniards will pay<\/strong>, and not only in the form of taxes, but also in loss of freedoms.<\/p>\n
