La irresponsabilidad demagógica, el rosario populista de las promesas electorales, las distintas pócimas ideológicas, la podredumbre del lenguaje audiovisual, contrastan con el lenguaje clínico de la prensa financiera internacional: Menos crecimiento, menos riqueza colectiva, energía más cara, dinero más caro, deudas estancadas o crecientes, desconfianza hacia quienes pidan crédito con salarios bajos…
