Today, EL PERIODICO has this interesting front page.
Quotes from angry readers screaming against the power failure.
A good front page.
But no one has been better than the cover of the New Yorker after a similar situation in Manhattan a few years ago:
Is Water Next?
A perfect headline for the much needed what’s-next journalism.
I am from Barcelona.
So, I can’t understand why almost all the city has been with no electricity for two days.
Catalans are seen in many parts of Spain as prone to separatism.
Well… here are some ways to prevent it:
One: Privatize the state-controlled, third-world Barcelona airport.
Now, you have to connect in Madrid for too many international flights.
In my whole life, Barcelona airport is the only one to have lost one of my suitcases!
Two: Speed up the arrival of fast trains – coming to Barcelona later than to any other big city in Spain.
A shame when the first train line in Spain was the Barcelona-Mataro one.
Third: Invest in the orbital highways around Barcelona.
See the differences with Madrid in this graphic chart posted in an excellent Catalan blog.
