Important echo of La Vanguardia’s substantial interview with President Pedro Sánchez. Perhaps it will be remembered as “the fatx osfera interview”, a concept that feeds on the same poison it denounces. Geometric paradox: many devotees of this fathosphere are, at the same time, terraplanists. Little joke with the sphere: Lichtenberg, who should always be quoted, said that the man who has two eyes sees more than half of a sphere. I’m not quite sure what that means, but it sounds like a transcendent revelation.
In the sphere of Being, Àngels Barceló opens on Monday by announcing Amnesty Week, which is not a department store campaign, even though it carries commercial arguments. The idea is to underline the importance of the facts to counteract the impulse of the umpteenth demonstration of the PP against the Sánchez Government. Abducted by the media industry of verbiage, Isabel Díaz Ayuso claims that Sánchez “criminalizes normal life”, which I don’t quite know what she means but it sounds like populist nonsense.
On the Europe 1 station, they comment on the farmers’ desire to block Paris. The alarmism of the historical days is breathed. They interview MEP François-Xavier Bellamy, who says: “If we don’t have agriculture tomorrow, we will lose our sovereignty”. He also denounces the imports of Ukrainian chicken for, with the alibi of solidarity, threatening the food health of France. He foresees that it is suicidal to follow the rules of the game that impose imports that France does not need. In the study, the discussion rises. A talk show host talks about the ecological transition in the United States and bets that, even if he wins the election, Donald Trump will not cancel aid to decarbonize the country.
Also in Paris, two climate activists get global attention thanks to the visual impact of attacking La Gioconda with a sprinkling of soup. If the soup were Campbell’s, the performance could have been exported to New York’s MoMA, which exhibits Andy Warhol’s series of paintings. In an interview with The Face magazine, Warhol explained that he was a big consumer of these soups and that, in a Proustian register, he also wanted to recover a childhood memory: how his mother used the empty cans as vases of flowers
In the El món talk show at RAC1, they discuss how mental health may have influenced Xavi’s decision. The risk is to confuse the family and professional environment with more serious problems. There are precedents: relatively recently, Sandro Rosell explained that he left the presidency of the club because he could not stand how the pressure was affecting his mother. And he did not present himself at the Barcelona mayor’s office also out of respect for his mother. We call it the “human factor”, but perhaps we should speak, as often happens in the interdependent spheres of fanaticism, of the “inhuman factor”.
