Behind the bar of Pablo Iglesias

We already have a new star in the gastrobar firmament: the Garibaldi Tavern, with which Pablo Iglesias makes his debut as a hospitality entrepreneur. We are not going to remember here when the former leader of Podemos criticized that Spain had become a “country of bars and hotels for tourists” because it is a “bar for reds”, for that reason and because the revolution is carried out as it can and The only certain thing in this world, apart from the fact that we are going to succeed, is that we have to eat, and that where there is a need there is a business. Yes, taverns are “the last bastion of the freedom of the proletariat,” as the letter says, quoting Kautsky. As long as the proletariat pays for the menu.

“The only revolving door here is the one at the bar,” says @Ubeda_JM. “Who was going to tell us that Luces de Bohemia would be a reality in the 21st century,” @SantiagoLF1, as fond of hyperbole as Valle-Inclán himself. A lot of tavern ardor and the first one on the forehead: “You could have already looked for another beer supplier. I guess you have done little research there.”

We in turn assume that @ManuelMur has studied the already famous menu, with its vegan dishes under the section Don't call me Veal. It is not a fake, like some that run around, that since Kate Middleton showed us how easy it is to manipulate a photo you cannot trust anything. If they read “Salmorejo perrofluuta” it is a lie, but if they ask for a “Mandela Zulú” they are fine, even if it sounds like appropriation.

We forgive you: 1) Because we are generous. 2) Because memes will haunt him for the rest of his days. 3) Because you will soon discover what you have gotten yourself into: “Pablo Iglesias has the opportunity to show us that high salaries, a three-day work day, affordable retail prices and closing at ten at night are perfectly possible with a business. (@edupe93).” @ mlg_viva and @Rafaeld_garcia show Marxist knowledge, the first asks that the surplus value of the proletariat be respected and the second that the employees also be owners of the means of production. There are those who always say buts: “But will they be solidarity prices and with refugee workers?” (@ Close the door). Don't worry, @telesparto says that "you would be the only hotelier for whom I would work as a waitress again." Well, nothing, let's prepare the resume.

Revenge is a dish, as we speak, that is served cold. “It's going to be funny when Pablo Iglesias has to close his tavern at the time Yolanda tells him to” (@GonzaloNez19).
