La jornada la reflexión

Question

La jornada la reflexión.

What is this? a day of reflexion? Why jornada and not día (el día de reflexión).

I thought jornada was a "working day" and jornal was a day's wages.

Edit: I ask because most of my favorite sites are down, and they say stuff like:

Site X cierra durante la jornada de reflexión twitter account del sábado 21 de mayo de 2011para que todos podamos reflexionar a la hora de dar nuestro voto.

Recordad que nuestro futuro puede ser muy negro si votamos a los de siempre. twitter account, vota a otros!!

Answer 1

Tomorrow, on 22nd May, regional elections are held in Spain. The day before no political party can make campaign so that every cityzen can reflect on their vote.

You're probably visiting a site for watching series or films, aren't you? There have been laws in Spain againts online series and films, so this sites are very involved with politics.

The reason why it's Jornada and not Día I don't know, it's just that way.

Yes, tv shows and films etc... oh no.. are these sites in danger of closing? - jeezzle, May 21, 2011

Answer 2

It's just a common way for media(newspapers, tv, radio, etc) to call a day. There's even a newspaper called like that in Mexico.

Answer 3

This is a day of refection. The sites are saying approximately:

Closed during the day of reflection (twitter account on Saturday 21 May 2011) we can all think when we vote.

Remember that our future can be very black if we vote for the usual. twitter account, vote for others!

Hope this helps! K
