The best (whatever) is in Madrid

The best croquette is in Madrid. The best fabada in the world is in Madrid. And the best octopus at the fair. Even Spain has its own Route 66, much better than the one in the United States, and it leaves from Madrid. The best Valencian paella is in Madrid. Madrid is also home to the best faedor of paellas with chorizo.

To this the best [whatever] is in Madrid has contributed in some cases, but also the hyperbole in the hands of the press and influencers. The best Formula 1? In Madrid The best VAR, too, and at the service of the best team in the world. And the bluest sky. Only the myth of cinnamon water fell. The best street in Barcelona for tapas is in Madrid. And for some time now, Madrid has brought a differentiating fact to Catalonia: it now has the best process.

It has as its headquarters the Congress and is fetén processism. Exported, of course. Kindness from a JxCat who adopts the ways of doing things (neither good nor bad, robust) of that CUP of 2015 and 2016 whose ways of doing things had been criticized so much. Everything that happens around the amnesty also confirms it, you: that the best chirigota is not sung in Cádiz, but in Madrid.

While in the capital they are entertained and brag about having the best, in Catalonia they miss the lure of the authentic process™ and their appetites are satiated with grits. German comedian Shahak Shapira took a few. There was no medium that did not echo his performance in Barcelona, ​​where he jokes with a translator sitting in the audience who apparently thinks Catalan is spoken in Catalonia.

Disoriented by the avalanche of thanks for defending Catalan, he had to clarify certain things: 1) he is sure that the viewer was also joking; 2) that it is not Spanish; 3) that if it was a complaint it was more because I couldn't find anyone to speak English with than because I stumbled upon Catalans speaking Catalan in Catalonia, and 4) the following: "It's a comedy show where the contract between the audience and me is that we talk shit without judging each other and that atmosphere doesn't translate well on the internet."

"It's already happened to me to make a couple of viral tweets and immediately have the media asking you to appear on their show. The journalism of anecdote and nonsense. A bit of a shame", regrets @martacava. "The German comedian has been interviewed on national radio", says @annapazos in the same line with the attached image of a Ben Affleck up to the nose of everything. "We have morale and collective self-esteem where we have it (underground)", adds @kj_mestre. "We are too small a country", says @genismiquelb.
