Puigdemont entrenches himself in Waterloo and Feijóo does not cross the border. The former's lawyer requests privacy for serious matters; the Galician leader responds from a podium. Meanwhile, citizens witness the eternal spectacle of accusations and excuses. The result is deadlock, stalled laws, and frozen budgets. Real problems remain unsolved, while politics consumes itself in a long-distance duel of egos.
Servers on standby: when political dialogue collapses infrastructure 🖥️
A decentralized messaging system like Matrix could resolve this gridlock. It allows encrypted communication without central servers, ideal for negotiations where no one cedes sovereignty. But here we are not talking about technology, but about will. The blockage is not technical, it is political. Meanwhile, the nodes of public administration become saturated: health databases are overwhelmed and energy systems falter. All due to a lack of basic agreements.
Discretion is their refuge, your bill is their sentence 💸
The lawyer says serious matters are handled in private. Well, how convenient. Because while they negotiate under seal of secrecy, the light in your home does not go off in private, the medical appointment does not arrive in private, and your wallet does not empty in private. Sure, discretion is important. Too bad people's problems don't have the right to remain silent. Next time they ask for privacy, remember that your bill is indeed public.
