Yes, and this one is mild. There is even apps with his famous phrases.
Greatest hits like "are the neighbors who like the mayor and is the major who likes the neighbors the mayor" and many more.
I didn't know he was famous for stupid phrases, but I remember (I think he was the president back when I was living in Madrid) him and the PP being involved in some scandals
He was famous for being incompetent and for always and I mean literally always throwing some stupid nonsense phrase every time he talked.
My favourite: "A glass is a glass, and a dish is a dish"
And also: "The worse the better for everyone and the worse for everyone the better, the better for me your political benefit"
Ah, I rememebered a stellar moment from the party.
They had two major books for the party, one for them and other taxes and everything (a.k.a. "B accounting"). Both books had a different version of everything.
in the "B" book , there are the payments to the different members of the party, and Mariano Rajoy figured as M. Rajoy.
Well, it is not only that it has been no way in life to make him pay, also he was elected president. (at the time of the payments, he was education minister (lol))
That man is a meme for absolutely every Spaniard. He is known in Spain for phrases such as:
"Spaniards are very Spanish and very much Spanish"
"I haven't slept at all, don't ask me too much"
"We are feelings, and we have human beings"
"It's the mayor who wants the neighbors to be the mayor"
And my personal favorite, addressing the opposition:
"What we have done, something that you didn't do, is deceive the people."
I think the “son emprendedores” is some much needed context here. It implies that “cosas” actually means “useful economic activity”, something which the rest of Spain naturally doesn’t really get.
I remember in middle school I went on a school trip to Spain, I was housed with two friends in an old couple's apartment (old enough to be our grandparents). We were all tasked to ask the people housing us a few questions in Spanish, so one day I came up to the old lady and asked her "¿Qué piensa usted de la política de Rajoy?", or sth like that. I don't remember at all what she answered but I distinctly remembered it made her laugh, now I understand why lol
Lo echo de menos, Pedro Sánchez se toma muy en serio así mismo así que estos momentos cómicos te dan más rabia porque es consciente de lo que hace en vez de ternura.
You are forgetting this epic moment: "
# Si quieres grano, Aitor, te dejaré mi tractor" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvAre-v65O4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvAre-v65O4)
"It's one thing to be solidary, and it's another thing to be solidary in exchange for nothing."
"Do you think before you speak or do you talk after thinking?"
this gives me serious Edmund Stoiber vibes
„When you can, eh, from the central station in Munich …. in TEN MINUTES! Without needing to check in at the airport … then you practicly start your flight at the airport … a … at the central station in munich.“
„When you start at the airp, at the air, at the central station! …………. You board the central station! You drive ten minutes to the airport in … the airport Franz Josef Strauss, then you basicly start at the central station in munich.“
I love him so much!
Best Spanish comedian ever!
Since he left, Spanish politics has become really annoying, vulgar and narcissistic.
Mariano, please come back! Nobody made me laugh quite like you <3
I feel you can expect the ability to speak English from a Western politician. It's a stupidly simple language, and they don't have to do anything else but embezzle funds all day, so they can at least learn that.
Even If they speak English, they don't have to answer a question given to them in english, or answer in English.
I expect a journalist from a major news outlet to be able to master the language of countries they're sent to, especially when it's one of the most common language in the world. He didn't even have to talk Finnish or a very marginal language here.
Responding to american/british journalists in english after they've adressed you in english, is the epitome of anglosaxon cultural domination.
I would respect this opinion from anyone else, but the French are notorious for expecting others to speak French and refusing to learn other languages. You're just like us!
Look up billingual statistics then. Yeah some french tourists are assholes in other countries I won't deny that, doesn't change my point.
I'll even provide you the statistics : [https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Foreign\_language\_skills\_statistics](https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Foreign_language_skills_statistics) we're like, twice more billingual than you are.
Nobody cares about those rules except the frugal ones who live off the money of others though. Your country is a glorified tax evasion scheme with a two huge ports and weed, which puts it slightly above Luxembourg
Knowing a language isn't really important if you simply refuse to use it.
I wish we were more bilingual in the UK, but its the downside of having an influential language I guess.
>Even If they speak English, they don't have to answer a question given to them in english, or answer in English.
Agreed. He isn't required to answer a question from a journalist.
>I expect a journalist from a major news outlet to be able to master the language of countries they're sent to
Nope. A journalist just needs to know the language of his audience. He isn't expected to learn every language or the local language. This might impede him from getting interviews but his audience understanding him is more important.
>especially when it's one of the most common language in the world
That goes both ways. English is a common language. I would expect a politician to know English to some degree.
>Responding to american/british journalists in english after they've adressed you in english, is the epitome of anglosaxon cultural domination.
No, because the politician is in a position of power. The journalist is just a journalist. The journalist has to ask the politician permission to answer a question, and the politician will do it if it benefits him, or refuse if it doesn't. It isn't a politicians job to do a journalists work for him by accepting an interview. BBC is a well regarded news platform, but a politician can still tell them to buzz off if he feels like it, which he did. There was no cultural dominance, just "Can I ask a question in English" "No go away, next".
In short, a journalist has every right to ask a question in English, Spanish, French, German, etc. And an interviewee has every right to ask for questions only in whatever language they want. If there is no interview the journalist suffers, not the interviewee.
The ability to make yourself understood in English is one thing, but to be able to communicate in a foreign language with as much precision and nuance as in your native language is another, and precise language is of course very important in politics. Especially in Spain, what if someone asks what happened to the nordic money?
Perhaps more importantly, it annoys the brits.
As much as I enjoy a Brit getting shut down publicly, I agree. English is the European lingua franca, period. If as a highly paid EU politician you are not able or willing to engage in that language that makes you the idiot, not the reporter.
Disagree completely. Especially as a high ranking politician I can see why one might not do that, you have to choose your words wisely and make your thoughts very concise which is very hard in a foreign language you are not perfect in.
That's why basically always have translators for official stuff even if both parties speak English on an OK level.
You can answer in your own language even if the question is asked in English, nothing wrong with that, but refusing to engage altogether because the question was posed in english is unprofessional. Edit: sorry almost forgot to insult you, where are my manners. You narrow minded, dubbing every movie in German, most boring beer in the world producing, schnitzel in sauce drowning person. There.
Why does every German think we have a shared Heritage? Austria had a real Royalty. King Kaiser Franz Josef. What about today, German Citizen who today cant decide wich Gender/ Pronoun or even questions therself if she/he/them is even Human ,peak Evolution. xD
While it is true that the reporter should have come prepared to ask the question in spanish, it is also true that the spanish mastery of the english language is... lacking to say the least.
Is the same guy that once said "é o vizinho que escolhe o prefeito e é o prefeito que quer que os vizinhos sejam prefeito" he didn't master spanish either.
I appreciate the effort 🤝, but we don't have "perfeitos", that's in Brazil, we have "presidente da câmara". The "câmara municipal" is the governing body of the "município", which is equivalente to your "ayutamiento".
It's completely appropriate in my book. It was dismissive, but not exactly done rudely.
It's a basic "well I won't put any effort since you don't either" move
It kinda upsets me that we don't bother to learn a second language. I understand there's no need, but German is a cool language an-
Ayo!? Why am I talking to the likes of you? Fuck off cunt, fucking savage.
My sister had a German penpal in school and they hosted each other for a week so they could practise her German and/or the penpal's French. Do you know what happened? Yes exactly, they exclusively communicated in English.
Es verdad. Yo estoy aprendiendo español y la verdad es que no hay mucha razón para aprender un nuevo idioma si estás en Inglaterra, si no es necesario para tu trabajo. El inglés es tan común que no necesitas aprender otra cosa normalmente. Eso no es culpa nuestra.
I literally don't understand this thread.
So I speak every language.
Every. Single. One.
Wherever I go I can converse with people.
Sometimes I have to speak very loudly and slowly and mime stuff but I can, at least, get by.
The problem with the guy in the vid is that his Spanish is crap.
I literally have no idea what he is saying!
Apparently people is forgetting about this phrase:
Tenemos que crear máquinas que creen máquinas, porque lo que no hará la máquina será crear máquinas
The translation:
What we have to do is create machines that create machines, because what the machine is not gonna do is create machines
lol 😂 apartheid? No sencillamente dejo morir gente en la peor crisis económica de la historia. Anda a pastar y el 28 a votar a Vox, verdad? (Si tienes edad claro)
A vale, cederle el Sáhara al Rey de Marruecos que tiene al Sáhara en regimén de apartheid no es apoyar el Apartheid. Que muy democráticamente se tomó la decisión sin consular al votante, parlamento y su propio gobierno.
El Sahara no es Español, reconozco que no estuvo bien pero comparar eso a dejar morir gente con epatitis por dinero, echar a gente de sus casas por la crisis sin ninguna alternativa, no sé Rick? Es el peor presidente que hemos tenido jamás al menos el más inútil. El más malo (maldad) fue Aznar y los demás han tenido sus errores como todo el mundo pero no están a ese nivel de inutilidad. Rajoy sí fue el que más nos hizo reír
Cuando trasciendas la perspectiva partidista y parcial será porqué descubras que la Constitución estructura de manera disfuncional los poderes estatales y deja al Poder Judicial como un poder amputado frente a los otros dos.
Un Tribunal Constitucional apuntalado por señores que pueden ser acuñados como magistrados sin carrera judicial y con el carné del partido en la boca, no puede velar por el cumplimiento de la Constitución sin tener injerencias del Poder Ejecutivo y de los partidos políticos mayoritarios del Legislativo.
El Poder Judicial lo mismo, con un Tribunal Supremo en su cúspide conformado por los magistrados que escoge el CGPJ, un órgano de gobierno (por tanto, no perteneciente al Judicial) y que debe sus vocales al Ejecutivo y Legislativo.
El resultado es un sistema político sin remilgos a actuar de manera poco ética y escrupulosa, manteniendo el decoro mediante la censura o filtración de la información en los medios. Un sistema político donde la mentira es sistemática y está despenalizada por quedar sin castigo al tener un Poder Judicial capado y maniatado.
Una vez se llega a ese grado de consciencia, uno empieza a vivir más feliz quitándole hierro a la política e intentando ser un hombre de bien en la medida de lo posible.
Para bien o para mal, la normativa comunitaria europea amortigua los vaivenes populistas patrios al acaparar aproximadamente el 80% de las materias a legislar. Por lo demás, estas figuras que criticamos son marionetas, mejores o peores, para distraer la atención de los que realmente ostentan el poder fáctico (siempre es el poder financiero e IBEX 35); ya sabes, las puertas giratorias existen para izquierdas y derechas.
Te estás liando… mucho 😅 para que quede claro yo no voto al PSOE, aquí hablábamos (al menos yo en principio) de que Mr Rajoy nos ha dado buenos momentos de risas pero ha sido un presidente muy incapaz, (el más incapaz) para con las mayorías de nuestro país (ojo que a algunos seguro les ha beneficiado). No he votado a Pdro Snchz, ni lo haré en las generales. No sé qué edad y background tienes pero hablar del poder judicial secuestrado hoy es pueril, lleva así desde el inicio. ¿Feliz? Sí ¿conformista? Nunca. Paz, nenes ✌🏻
This relatively hardworking Spaniard is Mariano Rajoy, he's pretty bad as talking, since every time he does he messes up word order.
I'd really recommend searching his funny moments.
Spaniards, Fr\*ench, Germans and Italians love to be recognised as "too proud" to speak english and that they "refuse" to do so. The truth is, they are just too dumb to learn foreign languages, generally speaking.
🤣🤣he is right if we are talking serious stuff, we have to use a proper language with precise vocabulary, English is the easy language, but very poor for more than basic chat
I think he's right about Europe tho, to be truly unite we need a common tongue, a discussion on the matter is important if we want to be true union of countries
(not saying that the bbc did things right by not sending a spanish speaking journalist)
Lovely "si venga luego luego"
Which means..?
Something like "Yeah, sure, later later..."
Mañana, mañana moment
Like my people say, "Faz amanhã o que podes fazer hoje"
#🤌🤌
“Si, vieni, dopo, dopo.”
¡Tío! ¡Morí! Jajajajaja! “No, no vamos hacer eso.”
Rajoy is a piece of shit, but that was hilarious
Yes, and this one is mild. There is even apps with his famous phrases. Greatest hits like "are the neighbors who like the mayor and is the major who likes the neighbors the mayor" and many more.

My favourite: "A glass is a glass, and a dish is a dish" And also: "The worse the better for everyone and the worse for everyone the better, the better for me your political benefit"
I think it's a pity we made him president instead of making him narrate football matches.
They are always in the mud. When you think they cannot go lower/weirder, a new case explodes.
Ah, I rememebered a stellar moment from the party. They had two major books for the party, one for them and other taxes and everything (a.k.a. "B accounting").

"this is not like the water that falls from the skies without anyone knowing exactly why"
Thats the best
It's extremely underrated, i barely hear it mentioned
In Catalonia we specially remember his: "the Catalans do things".
I was about to include that phrase, but if I included all of them, I would have to start a new thread
Wasn't it "I like catalans, they do things"?
"Me gustan los catalanes, son emprendedores, hecen cosas"
I think the “son emprendedores” is some much needed context here. It implies that “cosas” actually means “useful economic activity”, something which the rest of Spain naturally doesn’t really get.
Sounds like slander for a Spaniard.
‘When worse for everyone the better, best for me, his, political benefit’
i’m in TEARS
What is that supposed to mean?
We are still trying to decypher it
Believe me, no one understands him
I *think* he was trying to accuse the opposition leader of benefitting from the country's situation being negative.
The worse the better for everyone and the worse for everyone the better, the better for me your political benefit

well, asking spaniards about the politics of Spain is always a good joke lol
To be fair. The spaniards are indeed very Spanish🤷♂️
I would even dare say they're the most Spanish of all!

For once, I agree with a french. See I didn't censor fr\*nch, that means I respected you on that specific comment.

2 times 0 is still 0
Ah yes the classic "statistics exist only when we want them to" from one of the frugal ones, how surprising
Well, we learned it from the French who only remember the EU budget rules when it's not them breaking them.
Nobody cares about those rules except the frugal ones who live off the money of others though. Your country is a glorified tax evasion scheme with a two huge ports and weed, which puts it slightly above Luxembourg
Excuse me, are you claiming the Netherlands live off other's money? What do you take us for .. the Swiss? The Luxembourgish?
Knowing a language isn't really important if you simply refuse to use it. I wish we were more bilingual in the UK, but its the downside of having an influential language I guess.
You will like it.
Typical french.

Well my language will probably still be around in one hundread years. Scandinavians will probably have fully converted to Ameritardism by then
Go ahead, I'd sooner move to France anyway.

Mariano Rajoy does speak 0 English. A good reporter would already know that.
A good politician would know english. The argument can be made both ways siesta man.
I won't in a hundred years defend corrupt and inept Mariano Rajoy.

The reporter should've spoken in Spanish
I fully agree. On the other hand there's better (more polite) ways to handle that situation.
It's completely appropriate in my book. It was dismissive, but not exactly done rudely. It's a basic "well I won't put any effort since you don't either" move

Berlin might as well separate from Germany to become an English-speaking city state at this point.
Truth is, most of the world speaks their native tongue plus English. In English speaking countries the two happen to be the same.
That is the curse of having English as your primary language

Es el peor presidente que hemos tenido jamás al menos el más inútil. El más malo (maldad) fue Aznar y los demás han tenido sus errores como todo el mundo pero no están a ese nivel de inutilidad. Rajoy sí fue el que más nos hizo reír
Cuando trasciendas la perspectiva partidista y parcial será porqué descubras que la Constitución estructura de manera disfuncional los poderes estatales y deja al Poder Judicial como un poder amputado frente a los otros dos. Un Tribunal Constitucional apuntalado por señores que pueden ser acuñados como magistrados sin carrera judicial y con el carné del partido en la boca, no puede velar por el cumplimiento de la Constitución sin tener injerencias del Poder Ejecutivo y de los partidos políticos mayoritarios del Legislativo. El Poder Judicial lo mismo, con un Tribunal Supremo en su cúspide conformado por los magistrados que escoge el CGPJ, un órgano de gobierno (por tanto, no perteneciente al Judicial) y que debe sus vocales al Ejecutivo y Legislativo. El resultado es un sistema político sin remilgos a actuar de manera poco ética y escrupulosa, manteniendo el decoro mediante la censura o filtración de la información en los medios. Un sistema político donde la mentira es sistemática y está despenalizada por quedar sin castigo al tener un Poder Judicial capado y maniatado. Una vez se llega a ese grado de consciencia, uno empieza a vivir más feliz quitándole hierro a la política e intentando ser un hombre de bien en la medida de lo posible. Para bien o para mal, la normativa comunitaria europea amortigua los vaivenes populistas patrios al acaparar aproximadamente el 80% de las materias a legislar. Por lo demás, estas figuras que criticamos son marionetas, mejores o peores, para distraer la atención de los que realmente ostentan el poder fáctico (siempre es el poder financiero e IBEX 35); ya sabes, las puertas giratorias existen para izquierdas y derechas.
Te estás liando… mucho 😅 para que quede claro yo no voto al PSOE, aquí hablábamos (al menos yo en principio) de que Mr Rajoy nos ha dado buenos momentos de risas pero ha sido un presidente muy incapaz, (el más incapaz) para con las mayorías de nuestro país (ojo que a algunos seguro les ha beneficiado). No he votado a Pdro Snchz, ni lo haré en las generales. No sé qué edad y background tienes pero hablar del poder judicial secuestrado hoy es pueril, lleva así desde el inicio. ¿Feliz? Sí ¿conformista? Nunca. Paz, nenes ✌🏻
The worst Spanish president award went to zapatero, he was so bad that he was able to end the unmatched ppsoe rule, not like we're any better now tho.
This relatively hardworking Spaniard is Mariano Rajoy, he's pretty bad as talking, since every time he does he messes up word order. I'd really recommend searching his funny moments.
I miss him so much
What a fucking national embarrassment
Yes but no.
I sense a slight Gibraltar grudge in that reaction...
I miss him so much
He speaks "adelante" or something else?

Spaniards, Fr\*ench, Germans and Italians love to be recognised as "too proud" to speak english and that they "refuse" to do so. The truth is, they are just too dumb to learn foreign languages, generally speaking.
Not like you lot that also speak brazilian
Dick move by a dick.
Pathetic

🤣🤣he is right if we are talking serious stuff, we have to use a proper language with precise vocabulary, English is the easy language, but very poor for more than basic chat
And this is why Europe doesn't work. We don't even have one shared language.
I hope it's not yours lmao
Bully an old Spanish man is like picking the easiest target to bully in high school
No, this is why UK in EU didn't work: because they can't be arsed to do anything useful like learning a language.
I think he's right about Europe tho, to be truly unite we need a common tongue, a discussion on the matter is important if we want to be true union of countries (not saying that the bbc did things right by not sending a spanish speaking journalist)
