Where's Wally? And Minister Montoro? And Ayuso's boyfriend?

To the protagonist of the books Where's Wally? He's got some competition. For nearly forty years, millions of readers have tried to find this traveler with his characteristic woolen hat and red and white horizontally striped sweater. And the author has been making the challenge more difficult: the character has become smaller, and he's increasingly accompanied by extras to confuse and lose him in the crowd. But the media-friendly Brunete has developed the definitive version: Where is Montoro? It's about finding the news of the indictment of a former minister. One would think the matter should occupy prominent positions on the front pages, because it's not every day that a member of the government is put in the judicial spotlight. And yet, as if he were the protagonist of The Incredible Shrinking Man, Montoro has been reduced to nothing and has completely disappeared from the front pages of theAbc and The World. Not even with a magnifying glass, you. Just The reason Right-wing newspapers lose some of their legitimacy with cases like this. No matter how much you do demolition journalism and try to remove Pedro Sánchez from the Moncloa Palace, if one of the key figures in Mariano Rajoy's governments receives an accusation that affects his performance as a public servant, the minimum service to your reader is to highlight a story that meets all the classic elements of relevance and starts with the direction in which the air goes: in exchange for what did he allegedly help the gas companies? It's trench journalism, which is often explained by what it publishes, but also and above all by what it minimizes or silences. Such as the almost four years that the Prosecutor's Office is requesting from Ayuso's partner for tax fraud: here is another Wally, absent from the front pages of the cavern.
