The content of the messages amounts to nothing more than gossip about the Prime Minister's tone in private with his confidant, but since the medium is the message, the publication of his words also serves as a warning. Through a proxy diary, Pedro Sánchez is told that his daily life is a constant threat and that close friends and power can become a ticking time bomb.

Salvador Illa is diligently working on his image, his presence, and the support of the Spanish media.

In fact, the country faced a wave of mass arrivals, which was responded to, unlike what happened in many other autonomous communities. Society demanded that the children crowding into Mossos d'Esquadra police stations be taken in, and the management had to be swift and was not meticulous.

The number of new arrivals to the system increased from 362 in 2015 to 639 in 2016, 1,437 in 2017, 3,710 in 2018, 2,219 in 2012, and 1,268 in 2021. The administration often finds itself needing to respond to emergency situations in a clean but rapid manner, and it is clear that the administrative machinery is either excessively cumbersome or at risk of being affected by corruption or malpractice.
