Kim Jong Il's and Montilla's or the Art of Eternal Idiocy

Finally, the nullity is gone! The "Pazideng", aka Tontilla, aka Lost in Translations, aka Dumb&Dumber, aka Dude, where is my brain?, aka Vente pa' Cataluña, Pepe!, lost the elections yesterday, obtaining the worst results for the PSC-PSOE ever!

Yesterday, while I was watching a report by Jon Sistiaga on Cuatro about North Korea, one of this countries whose president has a weird hairdo and is always wearing green sport wear, like Cuba, Iran or Venezuela, I could see that misterious guy appearing as a "special representative" of the Foreign Ministry, being kind of agent assisting groups of foreign visitors in North Korea, and keeping two eyes on them so nobody could cross the dangerous line of touching the reality of this country with his/her own senses.

Who is that guy? His name is Alejandro Cao de Benós de Les i Pérez and the funny thing is that he is from Tarragona, my born city. How a guy from Tarragona ends up being an agent serving the DPRK? Who knows! But he wouldn't be the first Catalan serving a crazy tyrant who enslave his fellow citizens. Let's remind the audience that the murder of Leon Trotsky, Ramon Mercader, was also Catalan from Barcelona, whose family was originated in my father's tiny village also in Tarragona.

And where did George Orwell get the inspiration for Nineteen Eighty-Four? From the Spanish Civil War (Homage to Catalonia)? Maybe, but despite he would be most probably appalled to see an actual Asian version of his 1984 is staged everyday in North Korea, I think he wouldn't be too surprised to see a Catalan guy, like Alejandro Cao, having something to do with such Big Brother-like regime to the foreigners. Please, visit Alejandro's blog, though you won't be able to make any comment.

Unlike North Korea, in Catalonia we can get rid off most of idiots in the government, by something as old as elections. Good-bye, Montilla!
