In the opening monologue of El Intermedio this Wednesday, Wyoming began talking about the etymological origin of the word politics.: “For the Greeks politics was the affairs of the polis, of the city, of society, and any good citizen was obliged to participate in them”.
“The philosopher Aristotle expounded that the human being was a political animal.although listening to some people these days it sounds more like a cross between a halter and a baboon”, said the presenter.
The Madrid native indicated that “the philosopher, in addition, also had a word for those who disengaged from politics, idiotswhich is the origin of the word idiot”.
“In the 21st century, we have decided to throw almost 3,000 years of political philosophy in the trash, as we it is being replaced by the rant, the disqualification or, to be more exact, the ‘chow’, with ‘ch’ for chungo,” the presenter added.
“What we are seeing lately is not a great show like The Lion Kingbut rather something more akin to the version of Frozen from Leticia Sabater“, ironized the host of the program of La Sexta.
“We are Witnessing pathetic and useless spectacles as, for example, the example of the commission of inquiry to Begoña Gómez or the spectacle lived in Brussels where the Popular Party destroyed a very important debate for the future of the European Union to dedicate itself to do pathetic politicking around the house”, he affirms,
And he went on to say that “with the result that, right now, all the institutions of the European Union are paralyzed to save the prestige of a gentleman who likes long lunches”.
Wyoming asked himself, “How did we get to this, Who’s interested in turning politics into a reality bad and bad?“. For the presenter, the result they seek to end politics, “that citizens get fed up and start to pass everything”.
“As the Greeks would say that we should become idiots. I refuse to be a idiotI have enough to be a little asshole“, concluded the presenter.
