Pedro Sánchez, a younger government. And

naeem18

Pedro Sánchez, in his speech introducing the new Executive, highlighted as new virtues and improvements that it would be “younger, feminist and local.” Certainly, the fact that the new government is more feminist is a virtue, both because of the presence of more women and because of the policy it is committed to developing. In the same way that it is a success and an objective to pursue that which is closest and, as he argued, a guarantee of progress in this direction may be that several ministers come from the municipal world, the political sphere that requires greater attention to the problems newspapers of citizens and their political representatives, to be close to the ground. What I am no longer able to appreciate is the virtue or advantage, as the President of the Government highlighted, of the new executive being “younger”, that the average age of the Council of Minister has been lowered as the previous to 50 years the current one.

The question is, so what? What is the value of ministers being younger or being more senior? Because the fact that there are more women clearly has an intrinsic value that is self-explanatory, and also as an example and incentive for the long way to Australia Phone Number go in terms of women's equality, especially in the centers of economic and scientific power. , judicial, institutional, etc., etc. The question is: if a minister is younger, what does it contribute? What does age contribute or diminish? And, above all, what do we want to exemplify by highlighting youth at the same level and in the same sentence as virtues as evident as those of a proximity and feminist government? I sincerely believe that it contributes nothing. Another thing would be if we were talking about the new signing squad of a sports club.



Quite the contrary, it abounds in the ephebocracy that, little by little, is being installed in our society, that youth is a virtue and age a scourge, although we have all known beardless people and old people who are equally stupid, or equally lucid. Valuing people based on their years of life is a mistake and an injustice, as is valuing people based on their sexual condition or race, or others. The truth is that we have “eaten the story” that knowledge, or the ability to work, resides only in young people. And the first and most direct consequence of this error is the evident lack of opportunities in a multitude of jobs from a certain age. Companies in which youth is revered and in which the argument that they seek “freshness” and “speed” is an excuse to hire “cheap labor” replacing the experience of older people. It is precisely from a left-wing and progressive government, like the one presided over by Pedro Sánchez, that messages, stimuli and policies must come that bury the outdated social prejudices that identify older people as rusty machines.
