Good bye White Night festival in Madrid (Spain)

Weather forecast: sunny (despite it s the dusk), max 27ºC, min 14ºC, SE 10km/h wind

Hello to all!!! This is me again and we are on weekend, finally! Unfortunately, I am not going to say a beautiful new because this night between October 1 to October to, it is the White Night Festival: that is, an art night where museums, theaters, are open and there are several cultural activities along hole the night. For example, you may take a look in the French Festival here http://nuitblanche.paris.fr/.

So, why am I so melancholic? Because of economic hole, again. Yes, of course. Here, in Madrid, each public service and each public activity is being minimized, while prix grows (for example, my brother who has been in Chentelham (UK), said there are the same prix there in spite UK have a double or triple salary). Given the bad country management of our government in last 8 years, it is not a surprise and we are under scope because of Mr. Zapatero, a man who only knows to waste money, while he doesn´t know manage our economy. Well, another time, I will speak about this socialism government because we are waiting the Democratic process end, next November 20.

Consequently, with a 21% of people unemployed (while UE or USA have more or less a 10%) and another lacks such as the National proud (may be Spain turns into a Federal Country with "several kingdoms"), the public health service collapse, the lost of sovereignty  because we didn´t make our homework in EU, the euthanasia law, four petrol spills blinded to society, Libia, Lebanon and Afghanistan war and so on, Spain have a difficult situation. So, there is a lack of money and we can´t maintain several services like Education Service with 20-30% less of national money (well, and how regions manage this reduction).

Therefore, Madrid city can´t afford White Night festival and there will be one each 2 years. So, good bye White Night 2011 season.

Like a funeral, you can view some pics about previous seasons here: http://lanocheenblanco.esmadrid.com/

Wow, I am really fine after I have said it. At least, tomorrow I have a ticket for Gamefest, Spanish EA3 (a festival where producers of games present which video games will be in market next 6 months).

Have a nice day and have fun if you have the luck of having a White Night festival in your city!!!
