Smart and Dumb, by Julio Llamazares


Now that the San Isidro festivities are here and Madrid’s pastry shops are selling again the famous dumb and smart donuts of the holy labrador perhaps it is the occasion to wonder if the president of Iberdrola he is smart or stupid, because with his recent statements many of us are not clear. The president of the largest Spanish energy company is supposed to be smart, but his statements calling 20% ​​of their customers fools contradict that idea, which makes us think that perhaps it is not so. The ready and silly donuts from San Isidro are easily distinguished by the presence or not of a sugar coating on their surface.fondant’ (made from sugar, lemon and beaten egg, according to the traditional recipe), but it is not easy for people to distinguish them by their appearance. The president of Iberdrola, for example, seems not very smart to judge by him, but he must be because he has been occupying a chair that many want for years and because of the number of titles he has on his resume. And yet, only someone unintelligent (or clouded by power or toxic substances) can say what he said in public. So if he’s smart, he hides it a lot, and if he’s dumb, he hides it too..

As if we had few doubts, the chairman of Iberdrola (Ibertrola in the illuminating expression of a German friend who does not have a good command of the Spanish language despite the years he has been living here) increased them when, to apologize for his statements in the face of the discomfort produced in the population, not only the one directly alluded to by them: 3 and a half million people, published a tweet on its official page in which it stated that those had occurred “in a colloquial environment & rdquor; Y without any “intention to harm & rdquor;.

In other words, if you are called a fool colloquially, you should not be offended, according to Galán, which is the last name of the president of Iberdrola. Who is the smart and who is the fool It is still not clear to me after reading your apologies for your statements.

The worst thing is that no one from the Government, which is the one that regulated the energy rate whose contractors they called fools for being the president of Iberdrola, has said if they consider themselves fools also because they are responsible for having approved that one. The one who adopts a measure is as foolish as the one who accepts it if such measure is of the foolish kind. To say that Galán’s words “are a shame & rdquor ;, as the economic vice president did, it is not saying much as long as he does not state at the same time whether he agrees with him or not.

So we still do not know if Ignacio Sánchez Galán, an industrial engineer from the Comillas Pontifical University of Madrid and a graduate in Business Administration from ICADE and in Business Administration and Foreign Trade from the School of Industrial Organization, all private universities within the reach of any client of Iberdrola, it is silly as can be deduced from your statements and your apologies or we are all silly Spaniards who after listening to them we continue to pay the electricity billwhether regulated or free.

And more knowing as we do that what Galán said is thought by many other businessmen like him, but they do not say it, not because they are more respectful of their clients, but because they are more prudent and do not come up when they interview them by giving them soap. A slip in a “colloquial environment & rdquor; Anyone can have it, but repeating it in writing indicates little intelligence, no matter how much of a business resume you have in English.
