What prank would Feijóo do to be punished for washing the breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes of all the inmates at his school in León?
In a talkative and autobiographical video, the PP candidate boasts that he was doing pranks but without explaining the one so severely punished.

If I were moderating a debate, I would ask the candidates what their biggest prank has been and that topical thing about whether they repent, providing the opportunity to apologize to the victims.

I do not know if the best-prepared childhood in history continues to do pranks – without mediating the motive – and what is the protocol of educational and pedagogical institutions in the face of these transgressions. Where are the protocols...
