LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Jobs in danger

Meanwhile, some professions are trying to adapt to artificial intelligence and mainstream technology in the face of climate change and sustainability, other traditional professions are still trying to survive the Numantine way even though they are clearly in danger of extinction. Their … the owners continue to lead them, in most cases following the incredible work of their predecessors and defying the vicissitudes of this second part of the third decade of the 21st century, preserving their old clientele and trying to gain new followers. Hatters, umbrella makers, pencil sharpeners, seamstresses, telephone operators, watchmakers, repairers of old dolls and toys in general – among others – seem to have remained frozen and rusty in the face of the impenetrable passage of time. And, even if the beginnings were very difficult and they even became itinerant, having to travel elsewhere than where they lived to earn a living, the recognition of customers when they see their “relics” recovered for a job well done, fills them with pride and happiness.

Morante’s father

How many times I remember Rafael Morante. How he would have appreciated this year with his son’s great season, obtaining for the third time the Golden Ear awarded by the RNE Clarín program. I imagine him talking to everyone in the city crowd about each of the tasks that the cigar maker has set for this 2025, imitating with his arms and wrists what his son was doing in front of the bull. It’s not that I had a friendship with Rafael, but the times I met him on the rock or leaving the square where Morante had fought, the emotion with which this man spoke to you about what his son had done in the arena enveloped you in such a way that it made you relive everything you had seen before in the square.

Unsquatting turned into squatting

I am telling you my case because I am absolutely desperate. My daughter has an apartment in Torrejón de Ardoz (Madrid) in the Torrepista urbanization: the existing tenant left and a squatter moved in; He paid 3,000 euros to an eviction company, which evicted the squatter, changed the lock… but he remained a squatter. He’s been telling us for two years that he’s going to buy us the apartment and he hasn’t paid us anything. He’s still there as a squatter. We hired another unemployment agency, and they tell us it’s very difficult to fire them because “they know everything.”

Joy and sorrow

It is totally unacceptable that the PSOE presents as a candidate for the elections to the Cortes of Aragon a person who has dedicated himself to systematic lying for a year and a half every Tuesday after the Council of Ministers.
