In one of the most famous endings in film history, Heston, coming across the Statue of Liberty half buried on the beach, discovered to his horror that the planet of the apes was his, that is, ours. It does not take much detour traveling through space and time to verify the same thing: this is a planet of apes. And I do not mean disparagingly the primates or of course the wise apes Zaius, Cira and Cornelius in the film, but the boys and girls, thugs and hooligans, who celebrate illegal macro-parties such as those in Marseille, Reims, Aravaca (Madrid) o Llinars del Vallés (Barcelona).
If you see the video of the female specimen facing the Police with bare breasts during the eviction of the party rave Barcelona will understand that if one day these people were the majority, not even the tip of the torch of the Statue of Liberty would emerge from the sand. In more modest versions, but no less damaging according to their scale, the fiesta of La Puebla de Cazalla or the fifty bottles denounced in Seville are located, which show a negligible degree of intelligence, responsibility and solidarity. And it is not only about parties but about other behaviors as incomprehensible as the funeral held in a mosque in Tarragona that has brought together 700 people who did not respect any security measures.
That this happens on the doorstep of the third wave, in a Europe in which the United Kingdom and Germany beat records of infections and deaths, in which France, Italy and Greece again impose strict confinements, and in a Spain in which Health has notified In November 9,200 deaths -the month with the most deaths since April-, Madrid confines 500,000 citizens, the Balearic Islands, Extremadura or Catalonia suffer an increase in infections, in Andalusia there are already close to a thousand hospitalized and there are 214 admitted to the ICU while in Seville They double the infections in a day, it makes these behaviors criminal, as well as stupid and unsupportive. The president of the Barcelona College of Physicians has made it clear: “The balance between health and the economy is cracking … If it were for health professionals, we would have been in stricter confinement for weeks.” More than ever we all depend on everyone. Churchill’s famous phrase can be turned around: never have so few done so much harm to so many.
