Together will report it as a "hate crime" A video, made with artificial intelligence, in which Silvia Orriols steps on the body of Carles Puigdemont, lying on the ground. Honestly, I'd be doing more productive things. I'd say that hate crime is also artificial.
The intention of the video is clearly metaphorical. Whoever created it was talking about politics, not criminology. Although a shot was fired in the video, they didn't intend to say they wanted to kill him or that they entertained his idea. They were symbolizing that the party headed by Silvia Orriols would trample on the party headed by Carles Puigdemont. If that image is a hate crime, it is a hate crime to call someone a "political corpse." Because that is precisely what these recreated images are trying to convey. That the figure on the ground, Carles Puigdemont, is a political corpse in the eyes of Silvia Orriols's supporters, who, by stepping on him, demonstrates that she has defeated him.
That the character on the ground appears to be death is beyond any doubt, because this is precisely what is necessary for the vignette It works. But it's precisely about a character.
Would Junts have filed a complaint against Aliança if, let's imagine, Sílvia Orriols had told Carles Puigdemont: "You are a corpse and you smell of death"? I would say no. The metaphor is the same. One, with words. The other, with images. But here it is demonstrated, and I am sorry, that yes, a picture is worth a thousand words. For my part, I wish it were not so.
