Spain Disqualified due to TeleMadrid Trivialisation of Nazism
Ahead of the coming weekend Swedish Göran looks forward to that Castellers de Vilafranca and other teams of human tower builders will perform at the annual May Fair Fires in Festes the Maig in Vilafranca del Penedès. His wife Mona points out that Barcelona has more to offer, not least since many museums will have open doors the International Museum Day. Hereafter the spouses start to argue about how the world should look at the independence aspirations of Catalonia, but everything stops when it is revealed that the public TV station TeleMadrid has drawn parallels between language immersion model used in Catalan schools, ETA terrorism and even Nazism and the Third Reich . As a consequence, Spain is disqualified, because there are limits of decency which may never be exceeded.

The aforementioned program by TeleMadrid is still available on their website.

Is the restaurant Can Roca in Girona Catalan or does it belong to everyone?
This week Mona introduces a small events calendar for Barcelona, because she wants to reach posh people and wealthy tourists. Among her recommendations, we find a musical about ABBA and a mazurka workshop. Her husband Göran, however, continues to limit himself to the wine region Penedès and finds rose competition in El Vendrell and a performance of gymnastic constructions - Falcons - in Vilafranca del Penedès. Thereafter a controversy breaks out: Mona is proud over the restaurant 'El Celler de Can Roca' in Girona which has just been named the best in the world but the question is whether it is Catalan, or if it "belongs" to all Spaniards.
