Joan eats Lorena

We read in ARA that the spokesperson for Vox in the Parliament, Joan Garriga, and the spokesperson for the PP, Lorena Roldán, "have asked this Tuesday that the chamber officially receive the Spanish national football team and honor the World Cup champions", considering that it is a "shared joy" for all citizens. How lucky we are in life to have these two political heroes, who, unintentionally, agree for the common good, without thinking about partisanship.

Some ill-intentioned person will say that shared joy matters little to them and that if they ask for it, it is to draw attention to the growing patriotic sentiment for Spain and its monarchy, thanks to the Spanish victory. In other words: to annoy, which is the mission they have been anointed with. Honestly, I can tell you now that if the Barça players who have brought Spain to the final played with the Vatican state (a state that, incomprehensibly, is not playing the World Cup, perhaps due to kit problems), I would cheer them on in Latin and become a nun. “Long live the virgin!”, would shout, in front of a celestial goal. And if I had to protest for a handball, I would scream: “Hands were!” And he would receive the parade of popemobiles with the Barcelona fans up there, drinking communion wine. I'm not like Mariano Rajoy, who said that the Gallic team (a word I use to avoid repeating “French”) was good but that there were no Frenchmen. I also felt sympathy for Argentina, because Leo Messi is also a child of La Masia. On the other hand, I think that if the Spanish team had been full of Real Madrid players, I would have watched it from further away.

The national team's victory is not a joy shared by all citizens, nor should we exaggerate. The end of the Rodalies chaos would be. But I am very excited that Roldán and Garriga agree on this matter, also because they remind me of an amoeba and its food: it moves and feeds by means of extensions of its own cytoplasm, which are called "false feet." Garriga's false foot is already devouring the succulent Lorena, but long live Spain!
