It's been a few days since MP Noelia Núñez resigned after being caught padding her resume, and the media coverage of the matter is mind-boggling. Right-wing media celebrated her gesture as if she were a national heroine, so the initial offense hasn't brought her any disgrace. In fact, the day after she resigned, she accepted an offer from Mediaset to join the program as a panelist. On everyone's lips, by Nacho Abad. In The reason He was interviewed as if he were the recently rescued Private Ryan. The first question was: "First of all, how are you feeling?" And then there was another, mile-long one, which I reproduce only partially for reasons of space, but which sets the tone for the entire conversation: "I have to tell you, from the outset, that going out into the public square to confront journalists, who in situations like this we use a lot of weight, denotes courage. This irregularity is, however, uncommon among the political class, which very rarely sings a mea culpa". Luckily she was shooting with heavy ammunition. If she had shot with light ammunition, it would still be with the feather tickling her cheeks.

But the collective drunkenness around the young woman has not intoxicated everyone. The newspaper Abc, a few days ago, ran the following headline: "The strictness with Noelia Núñez raises doubts in the PP about future risks such as Alberto Nadal." The newspaper offers a "but we're not going crazy" worthy of Salvador Isla del Río's Poland to remind us that they're holding their heads high now—and it's suspected that the telegenicity and youth of the affected woman have something to do with this sanctification in life she's experiencing—but that they'll be greener in the future, and then it'll all be hands in pockets and people whistling to hide it. Resign? Me?
