Rent should not be a slab, and for a city to drive out its original neighbors is another failure. Tens of thousands of people cried out on Saturday for this injustice in a demonstration that has been described as historic. On the other hand, a review of the newsstand covers on Sunday shows that The Vanguard, The Newspaper and NOW we turned it into a cover photo. And three of the four newspapers in Madrid, which are also sold in Catalonia, chose not to make a sad mention of the issue on the front page. only The Country included a small module, no image. Needless to say, if it had been the umpteenth and repetitive Sunday march to say that Sánchez very badlythen the affair would have gotten every square inch available, and then some. Obviously, one factor is geographical: Catalonia is only of interest to them as an astringent with which to provoke their reader’s sneer and rictus of repulsion. This one must be given as a matter of course. But then there is another, even sadder element: the abandonment of causes arising from the social undergrowth. They are newspapers so swallowed up by politics (well, by politicking) that they plant a social concern of the first order in their noses and they do not smell it, with their pituitary glands intoxicated withjudicial clavegueram water.
