Prophecies of the apocalypse seem like innocent fables to lull children to sleep next to this Saturday's front pages, which detail some of the fearful and terrible consequences that the Constitutional Court's approval of the amnesty will bring. The sky has cracked in two, and evil is descending upon God's innocent creatures.The reasongives one of its headlines to some "TC sources" that it does not identify (and that, therefore, the reader cannot weigh) beyond the horrifying prediction: "Next will be singular financing and the Catalan referendum."
