Susanna Griso and the escrache in Salvador Isla

On Tuesday morning, in Public mirror, Susanna Griso and her panelists were discussing the Constitutional Court's approval of the amnesty, and to question the argument that this measure is in the public interest, the presenter cut to an image: "The amnesty coincided with what happened to Salvador Illa, who had to endure a public outcry from the separatists. He experienced it at the Palau de la Música.And they broadcast some images recorded on a mobile phone showing the president of the Generalitat in the audience, alongside Josep Rull, while everyone shouted "I-Inde-Independència!" and clapped their hands. The video was four seconds long and was broadcast twice to create the impression of a longer duration. The spotlight was on Isla at that moment. A sign below asked the audience: "AMNESTY: DOES IT IMPROVE COEXISTENCE?The brief sequence, therefore, was used to suggest a climate of hostility and tension in Catalonia and to cast doubt on the objective of the amnesty. After the images, Susanna Griso took back the helm: "Independence, eh... And he, unfazed".

In the presenter, the sequence of what she called scratch It was very useful for him to endorse the climate of tension that interested him, but he did not want to contextualize them beyond saying that they had occurred at the Palau de la Música. He did not say, for example, that it was in the context of the presentation of the Honorary Prize for Catalan Literature, nor that the event was organized by Òmnium, the cultural entity significant for its participation in the Trial and which had its president, Jordi Cuixart, imprisoned. And that one of the most frequently asked questions to the defendants during the Trial trial was whether they were members of Òmnium, as if it were a terrorist organization. Perhaps if Susanna Griso had provided all this context, everything would have been better understood, before describing it as public harassment of the president. Isla had been invited to one of the cultural entity's major events and the cries of independence had occurred just after the singing ofThe Reapers, which is something predictable and common in this type of event and certainly didn't take the politician by surprise. Although the awkwardness of the moment cannot be denied, Isla knew exactly where she was going. What better proof of coexistence than this?

But, as always, when it comes to talking about Catalonia, Public mirror The thesis that suits them is more important than reality. Make a dramatic and conflictual reading of that brief scene, use it to draw conclusions about the climate of coexistence in Catalonia and label it asscratch To cast doubt on the legitimacy of the amnesty is clearly biased. I don't know what you'd say to that, Susanna Griso, but handling fits pretty well.
