The telegram is in fashion, didn't you know? And we are not talking about Telegram, the instant messaging application of Russian origin that incorporates an incredible number of functions and that for some strange reason does not finish positioning itself as one of the best. We are talking about the telegram, a communication system used since 1937 in England and the United States of America, which yesterday suffered a high peak of use, and is that Vladimir Putin (President of Russia) and Mariano Rajoy (President of Spain), They decided to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory in the elections through this peculiar means of communication.
Sending a telegram is still efficient and cheap, in fact, we can send a telegram directly from the Correos website. Although we assume that the real reason why Rajoy and Putin have sent a telegram to Donald Trump is that the governments will have a direct line from this peculiar means of communication that is totally reliable.
The perennial tradition of WhatsApp groups at work seems not to have reached the world of power. Thus, Putin was the first to send a telegram to Donald Trump, and it is not the first nor will it be the last time that he does so, Putin likes to congratulate the new heads of state like this.
Rajoy, maybe Moved by the traditions of his childhood, he also decided to use this method of communication yesterday. In fact, Moncloa has made public the telegram that Rajoy sent to Donald Trump, which we now include:
«On behalf of the Spanish Government and on my own behalf, I wish to express my congratulations on your victory in the elections to the Presidency of the United States of America. Citizens have made their voices heard, revealing once again the vitality of American democracy.
The United States and Spain are partners and strategic allies. I am fully convinced that during your mandate we will strengthen our bilateral relations in all areas seeking the well-being and prosperity of our citizens. Together we will continue to face the challenges and threats existing on the international scene.
Spain considers the transatlantic relationship key and therefore we will continue working with the new Administration of its country to deepen and enrich its relations with the whole of the European Union.
I take this opportunity to express to you the assurance of my highest consideration and esteem »
Thus, the Telegram is back in fashion, or at least yesterday it was for a few hours. Now we can go back to our bland lives of WhatsApp and instant messaging.
When in this country they give him a song, we give him like a borrowed violin. We are more aware of others than of our things, that's how it goes, we are conformists and we get a joke from everything.
