In the U.S. it has been a common political tactic to dismiss as wasteful almost any spending for what appears to our political leaders as abstract scientific research. When a large number of people suddenly die without apparent reason, the political figures hold hearing to deflect the blame and sometimes even authorize spending to find a cause. If it then happens again they can blame the scientific community for not having come up with the answer.
Is this not how it would be handled in Spain?
