Author: Manuela Carmena.
In the first person, the former mayor of Madrid and judge Manuela Carmena makes a plea for a different kind of politics in which citizens regain their power. After writing to the new generations with her message about politics and the importance of commitment in her book A los que vienen, Manuela Carmena now advocates addressing those who feel increasingly distant from today’s politics. In the age of disaffection, this book is a eulogy for tolerance as the ultimate value of democracy. Drawing on her own experience as a lawyer, politician and mayor, she presents an alternative to the party system – right-wing and left-wing – a politics of the people that breaks with the violent debate that dominates the scene today and condemns lies as an insurmountable line. A manifesto in favour of a new politics -transversal, horizontal-, in which activism is part of our daily life and in which populism, shouting and axioms are banished forever.
With her own direct and expository style, Manuela Carmena has spearheaded this radical change in the political management of the Spanish capital and demonstrates that another way of governing is possible.
