Santander, May 20 (EFE).- The candidates to preside over Cantabria would like to chat with characters like Mandela, García Lorca, Churchill or with “Lin”, a resident of Noja, but they would not stay for a drink with a “streamer” because they don’t know them. Everyone is clear about their favorite corner of the region and they agree that they want to be there with their friends and family.
Faced with a questionnaire about their tastes, hobbies and advice, which EFE has raised, the numbers 1 of the PRC, the PP, the PSOE, Ciudadanos, Vox and Podemos-IU have given the Parliament of Cantabria answers known as that “North Wind ” is the favorite song of Miguel Ángel Revilla or that María José Sáenz de Buruaga adores Los Locos beach.
Others are not so, such as the experience of aerobatic flight bordering on the limits of the Vox candidate, Leticia Díaz, at the age of 20.
Question.- A movie, a series and a book that you liked and that you would recommend.
The recommendations range from the history of the Cantabrians in Cádiz with whom Revilla is, who does not watch series and is “a fan” of cowboy movies, especially “Raíces profundas”, to the new Isabel Allende, “Violeta ”, which Buruaga has just read, which advises “Adú”.
Leticia Díaz only allows herself romantic movies “with no room for suffering” and Zuloaga confesses that he is capable of watching “Titanic” a thousand times on the sofa with his wife, Bea, when the children and their children’s movies give them a break, and read now “Everything burns”, the new novel by Juan Gómez Jurado.
Those who are most up to date with the billboard are Félix Álvarez and Rodero, who the last thing they have seen in the cinema has been “As Bestas” and “Cinco Lobitos”, although now, almost none of them have time to see or to read a lot.
Q.- What has been the concert of your life and what record or song have you been listening to the most in recent weeks?
Most of them mention the Plaza de Toros de Santander in their answers. Revilla saw Carlos Cano on that stage, Zuloaga remembers Jarabe de Palo in the awakening of adolescence, Félix Álvarez, Serrat, and Leticia Díaz, Perales. For Buruaga, the concert of his life was given by Maná in Bilbao and Rodero stays with the Jamaican Marcia Griffiths.
As for the songs, Revilla confesses that he sings “Viento del Norte” even in the bathroom, Álvarez, who is doing his “first steps” with a group of friends and does not stop listening to “Peor para el sol” by Sabina, Leticia Díaz , “I am Spanish” by José Manuel Soto, and Buruaga always puts Alejandro Sanz in the car.
Q.- A corner of Cantabria and a dream trip around the world.
Liébana wins by a landslide: there the candidates of the PSOE, Ciudadanos, Vox, and Podemos-IU like to lose themselves, which coincides with Buruaga in the passion for Los Locos beach. Revilla stays with Polaciones and says that there is no other viewpoint like the one in Cabezuela.
Among the destinations that the world offers, I would repeat Mexico. The PP candidate would go to Argentina and to Petra, Félix Álvarez calls Japan and Leticia Díaz has already chosen the next one, Iceland, while Zuloaga says that I have made his dream trip, when he went with Bea on his honeymoon to the United States Joined.
Q.- The best antidote for a sad day and the best way to celebrate good news.
Revilla “frees himself from complicated days” by playing a game of tute with friends, which, preceded by a good meal, is also his formula for celebrating. Buruaga believes that the best thing for the former is the family, a while with his daughter, and for the latter, a beer with the people he loves.
For Zuloaga the answer is the same for both things, the family, and Félix Álvarez sees a good consolation in a beer and one of squid rings while he celebrates good news by hugging his wife. According to Leticia Díaz, there is no better antidote to lift your spirits than to sing and she practices it “even sleeping”.
Q.- What has impacted you the most from what you have read on the networks or in the media in recent months?
“Trump convicted of abusing a woman in a fitting room,” replies Revilla. Álvarez has been impressed by reading that the number of kids who call the phone to prevent suicides has multiplied by 35 and Zuloaga, more positively, is impacted by the progress in the fight against cancer.
Buruaga “did not believe” when he found out about the inclusion of ETA members in the Bildu lists and Rodero has been “very angry” about the alleged corruption plot in Public Works.
Q.-Do you know or follow any ‘streamer’?
A brief is not the answer for almost everyone. The Vox candidate adds that she knows several but does not follow them and Zuloaga says that she sometimes sees someone related to Nintendo games with her son.
“Sometimes I take Tik Tok and I start passing videos at full speed but I don’t follow any of them,” Álvarez confesses.
Q.- If life had not led you down the path of politics, what would you have liked to do?
The majority respond that to the profession they were engaged in before: Revilla would be a professor and would have ended up as a professor at the University; Zuloaga would be a civil engineer, Buruaga, a lawyer and Félix Álvarez, a comedian.
Mónica Rodero answers that she is doing what she is now doing, being a laboratory technician at the Environmental Research Center, and Leticia Díaz is considering various alternatives: teaching, music and theater.
Q.- If you could choose a person (living or from another era) with whom to have a drink and chat, who would it be?
The PSOE candidate chooses García Lorca; that of the PP, to Mandela, the Cs candidate would have a long conversation “in front of a steak” with Churchill to help him understand why he lost the elections after winning the war, the Vox candidate would stay with Isabel la Católica, “as a woman precursor of human rights” and that of Podemos, with Clara Campoamor.
The PRC candidate would love for José Antonio Argos Cano, from Noja, nicknamed Lin, with whom he had “a great friendship,” to be alive.
Q. What did you do at the age of 20 that you wouldn’t dare now?
“I already told it once on television”, is Revilla’s response after a complicit laugh. And Zuloaga remembers, among the “confessable”, the nights that began at seven in the evening and ended at ten in the morning.
Álvarez begins by answering that if he tells it, “he would lose votes” but adds that he does not regret anything he has done voluntarily, Rodero affirms that he has always dared to do what he wanted, now also, without “afraid of anything” and Buruaga responds that “you can never stop flying out of fear”.
The one who was not afraid was Leticia Díaz, although she would not dare again with the aerobatic flight: “I supported a force on my body +6 and -3, brushing the limits of the plane. I loved the experience, ”she recounts.
Q.- And what advice for life would you give yourself when you were that age?
Revilla’s answer is “coherence, coherence and coherence”, a guideline that he has always tried to follow, and Zuloaga borrows a maxim from sport: “every time you fall you have to get up again”.
Mónica Rodero believes that “life is constant learning, you have to seize the moment, and not be overwhelmed by what has happened”, while Leticia Díaz advises “temperance” and maintains that “you have to know how to wait and nothing happens by chance”.
“Life must be sipped, not swallowed,” is Buruaga’s advice. And Félix Álvarez makes use of a Chinese proverb: “You ask me whether or not you should get married: do what you want, whatever you do, you will be wrong”.
