The debate was won by misogyny

By Marilú Acosta

The constant competition of society forces to choose who won the DebateThatWasNotDebate. Without really being able to compare proposals, the situation was forced to find the winner, and to have someone to point at (annoy) as the loser. The Debate (in capital letters) has been confused with the exhibition of a violent entertainment act, and whoever strikes lethal blows will be qualified as the winner by judges who are experts in politics and voters who become amateur judges. It is confused with a controlled and structured space to tell lies, denunciations, curricular presentations, greetings, past actions, awards and recognitions, statistics, graphs, investigations, publications, embarrassing photos and promises impossible to fulfill. Where they do get it right is in using the verb moderar, because its Latin origin means: to keep something within a measure, that's why they pointed out "his time is up."
