Three in ten still believe nothing will happen
The prophecy of social apocalypse is trading higher. Only a third of the population still holds the faith that nothing serious will occur. The rest is split between those expecting a storm bigger than 2007 and those who smell an organized conspiracy. The debate is heating up: October emerges as the fateful date, the "long guano" that would sweep away the prevailing nothing-will-happen mindset.
The third that doesn't believe
Some argue that history repeats itself: every crisis cycle brings its own sect of reassurers. But day-to-day evidence —lines at the job, exasperation on the streets— suggests that this time the discontent runs deeper. The reference to 2007 is no longer a technical comparison: it is a warning that what's coming may surpass that catastrophe.
The director of the Guardia Civil and the drug traffickers
The news that has shaken the board is the alleged involvement of the director of the Guardia Civil (Spain's national police force) herself in maneuvers against the corps. To this is added the impunity with which drug trafficking groups operate in the south, with weapons of war and murders of officers while the State fails to react. Perception has flipped: where we once saw salvation, we now see an institutional black hole.
Antiestéticar of the right and the end of extra paychecks
The political horizon adds more fuel. The right's entry into the Government is taken for granted, along with cuts to pensions and social protection. "Take care, then" is no longer a throwaway phrase: it is the warning that when the last dam breaks, the uproar will be enormous.
What if the real conspiracy theorist is the one who still thinks this can be fixed with a coffee for everyone?
