The real Catalonia is Vic. Article by Albert Soler

This was a serious mistake by Presidentorra, the Girona declares the capital of authentic Catalonia. Not that this town of mine is not flaky, juicy and complacent enough to deserve such an honor, but there is no doubt that Vic, in deep Catalonia, it symbolizes even better the republicanism that they wanted to endorse us one day. If Vic was in the news some time ago because his street publishing system reminded long-suffering passers-in the purest Orwellian style- of the existence of I do not know what political prisoners, now the city council refuses to hold acts if it differs from the opinion of the majority of the population. It did not even occur to poor Orwell, who imagined that a pig thinks more than Anna Erra, mayor of Vic.

Let’s take it as a good thing that the mayor knows perfectly well what her subjects think about all issues, from political and social to sexual and diet, after all her love for Orwellian dystopia should mean that she spies on them around him at all times. to meet everyone. What is worthy of recognition goes further, it is the ban on any public protest that moves away from majority opinion. What minorities think should be eradicated, they are minorities for a reason. Or at least such minorities should be kept quiet until the time comes for them to be captured, like the Winston Smith of ‘1984’. It does not matter if it is a peaceful, legal and democratic act, the essential thing in Vic is that said action is in accordance with the prevailing thought. Which, by the way, is a great way to ensure that such thinking stays common. “Only what the majority thinks is legal, and only the mayor knows what the majority thinks.” If it does not come out of the mouths of the Thought Police in ‘1984’, it should.

all this fits perfectly with the concept of ‘popular mandate’, that invention which has allowed one to transgress the law in the name of a majority, no matter whether it is real or imaginary. This and the mouths of minorities have long been devised, but since the mayor is apparently not well read, rather than being inspired by Orwell – which should sound like an English middle-distance athlete from the eighties – she will have done it in Mussolini . All the more reason to call Vic the capital of the republic.
