Dani Alves football Sports. It is the reference offered by the X social network to the trend of the day. The ex-footballer is being tried at the Audiencia de Barcelona for a crime of sexual assault, but the ball rules. The Alves case is the first opportunity that the law of only yes is yes has to vindicate itself bluntly and the evidence that the system can work. A victim who reports despite the status of the alleged aggressor, a truthful account, a nightclub with a protocol against sexual assaults and trained staff, a reference hospital and empathetic investigators. Then there's the comings and goings of Alves' version, his lawyers and his mother sharing images of the victim on Instagram because you can't smile again if you were raped a year ago.
Side-by-side trials that turned some TV shows into trash are daily fare on the networks. Alves will be trending again tomorrow when he testifies in public, while the victim cannot be seen or heard to preserve her identity. However, the case is subject to examination of judicial dynamics that, after decades of vindication, continue to revictimize the complainants.

Who is simply a victim and who is a bitch? @LauraFreixas states that "left-wing politicians show that they have no idea about feminism. They get on any bandwagon that promises them votes and the veneer of progressivism, even if they are women giving an example of insulting themselves and everyone." The recipient is @ximopuig: "A song with a message, an artist with a conscience. Beyond borders". There are those who are vehement because of elevation: "It represents what Spain is in its entirety." And others open the Eurovision spotlight. @xqTTs: "Ah, there are people who are offended that a song called Zorra is going to Eurovision. I am more offended that Israel is involved, but I understand that the word bitch can be more offensive than the bombing of thousands of civilians in Gaza." And another war breaks out...
