Savater "tomorrow or the Spanish awaken to the real problems"

Tuesday, July 13, Mexico 11:45 a.m., July 13 (EFE) .- The writer and philosopher Fernando Savater said today that the victory of Spain in the 2010 World Cup "has little significance, because the Spanish" wake "in one or two days to the" real problems "that have their country." I'd like to say that this will have an impact on other aspects, in other fields, people will be more aware of the country share, but honestly I do not dare to think much, "Savater said in a telephone interview with the Televisa news program. The Spanish writer said:" I think people what's going very well, which is very happy, and that for 48 or more hours not have worried about the problems that usually have (…) upset but I do not think it will resolve major problems. "People are not asking for bills or worrying about it seriously," he said, but explained that it is something "transitory" because "tomorrow or the world (…) wake up to the raw (hangover) from the party and start thinking about real problems." According to the Spanish academic, winning a World Cup is a source of relief for the rulers and all those who do not have a solution to current problems, "because" people think otherwise and are happy and excited about other issues even if a little child. "However, admitted Savater "Sometimes you have to relieve tension," because "we all need from time to time to burst." Savater said that nationalism deployed by hundreds of thousands of Spanish flags flapping in the streets of Spain and supporting "The Red" " falls short, "and criticized that the love of the country wakes up" only in sporting events. "The philosopher said that football is" a substitute for the nation and the games are a substitute in some form of confrontation and war "which helps to raise nationalist sentiment." soccer battles are bloodless battles, the World Cup is like a world war but not dead, "he concluded.
