Every forced act becomes unpleasant. The phrase, attributed to Aristotle, finds an escape in the act of eating. Feeding oneself is a biological imposition, a necessary refueling, but enjoying oneself while eating is a different matter. Even more: that sensation, which naturally occurs both when dipping the spoon into grandma’s stew and when feeling the spheres burst upon closing the mouth, becomes an exercise in hedonism when the click happens: the moment of awareness. The Comerde La Vanguardia channel celebrated its tenth anniversary last night at the Azul restaurant, by Romain Fornell: “This is a night to eat, drink, and laugh with an incredible team of editors and collaborators who approach gastronomy in a transversal way. We try to tell stories about people to get to know them more intimately. This is a night to be happy.” Cristina Jolonch, whose name is a magic word for the attention of any professional in the field, resists appearing in this text beyond the obligatory mention.

Mayor Jaume Collboni also attended. “Cristina Jolonch is the best advocate for our work; she is a person to listen to and who has a gift: she never judges and always supports.” At that moment, the Comer director interrupts the dialogue, embarrassed. “No no no, I don’t want you to talk about me!” Noblesse oblige.

The survival of the Seat brand beyond 2030 “is still being analyzed,” with “various scenarios” and “all options” on the table, from continuity to its disappearance, a company statement distributed yesterday warned. Without having made any decision yet, “the continuity of the brand will be evaluated based on how regulations evolve – such as emissions –, customer demand, and market conditions.” These are three key factors that will define its future. The statement included words from Oliver Blume, CEO of the Volkswagen Group, its owner, in which he showed strong support for Seat S.A. – the parent company and responsible for the Martorell plant – but without direct reference to the Seat brand.
