Ninety minuti at the Bernabeu are molto longos

Abstract

Although the present that we have been lucky enough to live would admit, without a doubt, multiple descriptions (for example, in terms of uncertainty, disorder or many others), proposing one that emphasizes the way in which it is lived by its protagonists is not without clarification. Because, in effect, the perception that tends to be generalized today, and that largely explains a good part of the features of the current collective imagination, is that in our society not only has the idea of the future been volatilized, while the The past is a place of impossible return, but rather the present in which we live, almost confined, is an environment that is increasingly hostile for an equally growing number of citizens. To a large extent, this hostility -or, to try to make the title of this text somewhat more understandable: a sustained hostility that seems to have no end, in a present that has lost its traditional transience to become pure perseverance in its reality- is related to the problems that this way of living together in which we had deposited so many collective hopes and which responds to the name of democracy has been suffering lately.
