Who is not afraid of the religion of others?

When Sílvia Orriols became mayor of Ripoll, the opposition (Juntos, PSC and Esquerra) were unable to agree to remove her from office. Yesterday (as if something new had happened) the three parties announced to us that they would finally do so. However, today Junts is backing down, in a fast-paced, crazy, adult-oriented series. We read in the ARA that several Junts politicians justified it by saying that this "would turn Sílvia Orriols into a "victim""; and that, freed from the mayor's office, she could "walk around Catalonia campaigning." Once again, the "good" politicians giving lessons in moral sufficiency and belittling their rivals. "Walking around?", "playing the victim?"

That there is a "Catalan far right" is a contradiction for reasons of state. When Vox (says that) it wants to expel immigrants with the excuse of crime, it is understood that it would "expel" them from Spain. Where would Sílvia Orriols expel them from? She cannot from the Catalan nation, because politically it does not exist. The mental framework would be the Spanish nation, unless she did like García Albiol, who, when he said "Cleaning Badalona" I understand that he wanted to sweep the landing and shake the dustpan at the neighbor across the street when he was not looking.

As it already happened to us in the times of George Bush (he was so sweet and made you feel so superior to criticize him...) we always bristle when we say "cordon sanitaire". We do not want to see, in reality, that the main offer of these parties, pack The compostable paper product that you can't help but grab from the far right shelf of the supermarket, even if you don't need it, is a brilliant new product! It's called "a strong reaction to the customs and actions motivated by the religion of outsiders." And this offer is taken out of hand, because until now, on the left and central shelves of the supermarket, the only products there have been were boxes of Islamic veils wrapped with the always effective ribbon of feminism and empowerment, packages of understanding and empathy towards wives in burkas. The buyer goes with the cart and does not want to dine on Nostrada xenophobia, but even less on neo-Kumba peleringa.
