Captain Sewers and the twin surveys
· àlex gutiérrez
Source Summary
Headline on the front page of Abc : “The captain of the PSOE sewers mediated to help the investigated”. When I read it, I thought the newspaper was trying to create a kind of character, like Captain Lettuce, Captain Pescanova or Captain Mondongo. This "Capitán de las Cloacas" – in the Spanish of the original version the sound is even harsher and more caricatured – has a touch of Mortadelo and Filemón. But it turns out not to be so, it's about a real Civil Guard captain, of flesh and blood and a tricorn hat, so it's the reality of the balance of powers in Spain that emulates the feverish comics of master Ibáñez. Not a day goes by that the word "sewer" appears on one front page or another of the right-wing newspapers. How do the pillars of sanchismo counter this? With synchronized polls.
