This Thursday, shortly after 5 p.m., when a match was scheduled to begin with a replica of the dictator's boss in Moià, a storm broke out. There was lightning, thunder, and hail. After some hesitation, it was decided to play an hour later. "It will go ahead at all costs," the organizers said. "It's satisfying to kick Franco in the head, it's social therapy, and there's no violence involved in kicking a ball. Violence is not condemning Israel," the artist asserts. <a href="https://en.ara.cat/culture/trump-inside-dishwasher-political-art-is-an-exception-in-the-new-edition-of-arco_1_5305861.html" >Eugenio Merino</a>, the creator of the replica, has a long body of work laden with acidic irony and sarcasm against fascism. Among other actions, he placed Franco on a Coca-Cola cooler.</p>]]></description>
