Perdonen….¿Me he perdido algo?

Y yo que creía que era España la que lideraba esa Europa post Euromediterránea, esa que abandonó la utópica y filosófica idea de que debía mirarse al otro lado de la orilla como un todo, como una región, cuando decidió establecer cuotas de “meritocracia” a aquellos alumnos que mejor lo hacían en el plan económico apesar del dumping social y en valores democráticos y derechos humanos.
