Poderoso caballero

La presidenta regional y del PP de Madrid, Esperanza Aguirre, y el número dos de la candidatura popular al Congreso, Manuel Pizarro, intercambiaban ayer impresiones en la sede del partido. Para Aguirre, es “fantástico” que el ex presidente de Endesa, “que ha defendido a aquellos cuyos derechos podrían haber sido atropellados, haya decidido “dar el salto a la política”.

The interest of dealers [...] in any particular branch of trade or manufactures, is always in some respects different from, and even opposite to, that of the public. [...] The proposal of any new law or regulation of commerce which comes from this order, ought always to be listened to with great precaution, and ought never to be adopted till after having been long and carefully examined, not only with the most scrupulous, but with the most suspicious attention. It comes from an order of men, whose interest is never exactly the same with that of the public, who have generally an interest to deceive and even to oppress the public, and who accordingly, have, upon many occasions, both deceived and opressed it.
