Every year there are children who cannot opt for a place in a public school near their home. There are more children than places. If you are lucky and the raffle benefits you, you will be one of the lucky ones. Otherwise, your child will have no options. In these cases, they propose you a job assignment, which with the greatest probability can touch you very far. A school that you have not even been able to visit, nor do you know if it is the type of establishment you want for your child. If you don’t like it, you can always go private — maybe they do it for that. Let’s stop looking the other way. We must invest in the really important thing that is the education of our children. They are the future of our society and it is not fair that only a few study in good conditions. Open the ratios a bit, put more than one line, ensure a place at least in one of the schools that has been put as an option. We already have it quite difficult as a society, with the zero conciliation that exists, to see you in this situation on top of that.

Our hands
Some voices are raised against the impudence of sneaking into campaign a significant word for everyone; Directed at our hearts, it tries to take our hands towards certain ballots on 28-M: ETA. We care, we cared so much in her day, that we raised our hands to defeat her. It’s over, now we want and need a healthcare that takes care of us and takes care of itself, alive, effective, not dying. An education that is the light that illuminates our youth, everyone. A real, humanizing and adapted social justice. Will we have to raise our hands again so that some politicians attend to us? Will directing them to the right ballot be enough?

Health professionals
If healthcare in Madrid works, it is not because of the abundance of means, but because of the quality of the healthcare personnel who, thanks to their effort and professionalism, manage to make a public sector work with deficiencies in salaries, personnel, resources, budgets and other problems that impact on the health of patients. The sensationalist discourse continues to make its way like a Macedonian phalanx over Madrid’s quagmire of realities, splashing at every step and trying to bail out water with the bucket called: Central Government. Because in 2019, Madrid voted and chose Ayuso; in 2021, Madrid voted for Ayuso again. It is worth reflecting on who we should be accountable to, whether to the central government or to that of the Community of Madrid.

Uncertainty
I am 26 years old and currently working, I may soon stop doing so. I live with the uncertainty of not knowing what I’ll be doing in six months, and I don’t like that feeling. I keep training because it never seems like a good time to finish. I talk about it with friends and acquaintances, it seems that we are all the same. I look for job offers, and the vast majority I find are scholarships and unpaid internships. For the rest of the vacancies they throw me back for not having five years of experience. At what point am I going to find a decent job that I like?
