“It’s a War,” says forum user: Calls for force, but no figures

“It’s a War”: The bill for measures that no one prices

The initial diagnosis is absolute —“it’s a war, there is no other way”—and the first measure proposed is not minor: organizing citizens and guerrillas. Between that starting point and what would trinc, there is a gap that no one fills: money. How much each measure costs, who pays for it, which budget line is used, and within what timeframe. Not a single figure in the entire proposal.

What measures are called for and what they would cost

The only mention of material means is an ironic retort —buying helicopters and anti-air missiles—without any cost breakdown. Another line calls for the state bodies —Guardia Civil, Policía Nacional, and Armed Forces— to undertake the action, mentioning Ceuta as a scenario but without further development. There is no timeline, no administrative competence, and no comparison with what is already budgeted. Rhetoric mobilization, zero cost on paper.

From the State to the Family: The reply that changes the subject

Faced with the collective call, the most grounded response shifts the subject of the action: everyone defends their own. It is not a proposal for economic policy; it is a retreat. And in that retreat, the State ceases to be the protagonist and becomes the obstacle. That is where any serious discussion about public budget breaks down: if the solution is domestic, there is no allocation line or ministry to execute it.

The conclusion that no one puts into numbers

The tone running through the issue is of unavoidable urgency. The budgetary content is a blank page. One of the last interventions does not ask for strategy: it asks that the situation simply ends and that the dead may rest in peace. That is the only conclusion reached. And still, there is no price tag.
