Monegal’s critique: The Holy Trinity is at Waterloo


I write these lines when this week’s broadcast of ‘Polònia’ (TV-3) has not yet started. Presumably they will make some tasty sketch about the obsession to get close to the Kremlin that apparently excites so much Puigdemont and his or her environment. I don’t know how the ‘Poles’ will approach it with their lucid humor. In the ‘Està passant’, Tony Soler –who is also the owner and head of ‘Polònia’– already gave us a clue yesterday.

Seeing that there has been another tremendous cocoa between ERC and Junts for this matter, he told us: “If these two parties had been invited to the Lord’s Supper, Jesus would have said: ‘Tonight one of you may not betray me'”. In other words, deception and felony is the usual relationship between them. Waiting for the clues and mordant that they provide us with in ‘Polònia’, it would be unfair not to highlight what they discovered in the previous program. The ‘Poles’ research team discovered that Puigdemont it is not one, it is three at the same time embedded in itself. The always wonderful reincarnation of Queco Novell He showed us how he meets there, in the Belgian chalet, with three different personalities: with the ‘president’ of Junts, with the ‘president’ of the Consell per la República, and with the MEP of the European Parliament. And since this trilogy is fused into one body, his, he spends all his time walking around the kitchen table talking to himself. The discovery of ‘Polònia’ has been colossal: the Holy Trinity is in Waterloo. Moreover, when the funny ‘gag’ was ending, someone from the team noticed that in reality this exciting creature harbors a fourth added personality: that of also being the Legitimate ‘president’ of Catalonia. oh! This phenomenal finding disrupts, and enriches, the classical dogma of the Trinity, transforming it into Tetradivine.

Sometimes my canary flute Papitu asks me how he should receive Puigdemont these sarcasms and chirigotas that in ‘Polònia’ they dedicate to him. I answer that I am convinced that she welcomes him delighted with life. All that imaginary world that he has been drawing since he was in Waterloo has a terrible danger: going unnoticed. It would be catastrophic for him if TV-3 stopped focusing on him every time a new fantasy occurs to him. The visibility that ‘Polònia’ gives it is priceless. Even if it’s for laughs.
