We recently shared with you that culture Ministry of Spain plans to give a cultural bonus to young Spaniards worth 400 euros ($ 9,559.30 pesos), which they could use to buy books, music and even video games.
There was no shortage of criticism behind this initiative, but one in particular has attracted attention. It is from Pablo Casado, current president of the Popular Party or PP which has caused a lot of controversy.
Pablo Casado misses video games and comics
The PP It is a liberal conservative Spanish political party located between the center-right and the political right. Through Twitter, Married started saying ‘we will make the biggest plan to support motherhood in history’.
Continued ‘with tax deductions, free 0-3 education, emancipation aid and fertility treatments in public health. Less bonuses to spend on comics and video games, and more betting on families’.
The Spanish government will give away a cultural bonus of 400 euros… and it can be spent on video games!
As you will realize, this politician is doing less to both comics and games. In addition to criticism from fans of these entertainment media, he has received comments from various personalities.
Among them the Spanish journalist Ruben Sanchez, who took advantage of his account on the same social network to highlight the ‘double face’ of this politician, since he recalled some of the statements he has made.

The statements of this politician sound contradictory
What he commented was ‘after criticizing that young people cannot use the cultural voucher to go to the bulls, Casado has warned that’ they will spend it on video games and comics ”.
Afterwards, he highlighted ‘Just 5 months ago he asked to boost the video game industry with European funds. No one can take this cartoon seriously. ‘. So we are dealing with a politician who only says things at his convenience, hoping that voters will forget everything very quickly.
It is evident that Pablo Casado he will say anything, no matter how contradictory, to win the support of the Spanish people. It should be noted that at the moment the bond mentioned at the beginning has not been approved.
Although we do not say that video games are or are not an art, something that is still a matter of debate, it is clear that next to comics they are a cultural expression. They are industries with great development and legacy in Spain that deserve any support.
