The elections of May 24 have brought many surprises, joys, and significant blows to the parties politicians in Spain An electoral day that is beginning to draw the lines of what could happen in the next National Elections next month of November and that, as on every relevant occasion, has received a good helping of humor from the users of Internet , social networks and applicationsAnd it is that the WhatsApp groups are not free on this occasion either.
political criticism through images, illustrations or caricatures is not something that has been created with Internet Well-known are the drawings of Los Borbones en Pelota by the Bécquer brothers , not to mention the different humorous publications that have taken place in Spain up to the most up-to-date version represented by the magazines El Juevesor Mongolia But with Internet and applications like WhatsApp everything is more visible and viral. Like these images that try to summarize and show the feelings left by the recent electoral results.
Without a doubt the social network Twitter has taken the cake, as on almost all occasions.A social network where immediacy is key, and which has left many samples of humor criticizing political figures and bipartisanship One of its main victims has been the candidate for mayor of Madrid, Esperanza Aguirre, who has been compared to dictator Franco or even caricatured while walking her dog, who did not want to follow her (in analogy to the voters of the aforementioned community).
And the fact is that being political figures who seek the attention of the citizen can be very dangerous when things go wrong. All this attention can turn into criticism, some as hilarious as the one suffered by the highest representative of the formation UPyD, Rosa Diez, comparing her electoral results with what happened last Saturday at the Eurovision Song ContestOr even alluding to one of the funniest situations seen in the series of The Simpsons, when nobody remembers to leave a card/vote for the least popular child in the school (Ralph Wiggun).
Even funnier are the caricatured criticisms against the Mayor of Valencia for the PP, Rita Barberá And it is that her disaster in number of seats has antagonistically reminded of the sweet moment that was experienced during the festivities of Las Fallas, with the famous “caloret” , when he gave a speech in allegedly intoxicated conditions. Now that joy has turned into sinking, and the “caloret” has given way to the “bajonet”.
Another of the female politicians who has starred in the most images has been Ada Colau, an activist who could win the Barcelona City Hall Several images now show the change when she was evicted by the police in one of her demonstrations, and how has managed to climb to power.
How could it be otherwise, there is also a large amount of derisory images that criticize more or less harshly what happened during this working day. Images with a great touch of humor that will make more than one think about the possible historic step that seems to have begun with these municipal and regional elections.
