The National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC) considers that some of the decisions adopted by the Huesca judge Rocío Pilar Vargas, as a member of the Judiciary, “are contrary to the mandate set out in article 46 of the Constitution, which places the obligation to guarantee the conservation and promotion” of Spanish historical, cultural and artistic heritage on all public authorities. This was communicated yesterday in an appeal for reconsideration that has the support of the Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, who hours earlier stated in Congress that he abides by the Supreme Court’s final ruling, but that if any appeal was filed to protect this heritage asset, “it will always have the support of the Ministry of Culture, just as all the technical reports prepared by its board have had their support”.
There was a time when eating some meatballs did not make you want to buy a Billy bookshelf. Thirty years, in fact. It was on May 6, 1996, when the Ikea mothership landed among us and the extraordinary shockwave did not take long to arrive. It was easy, clean, young, and cheap. And there were (in theory) many possibilities. Some people went, in those early days, to Ikea to get ideas. They entered the stores and left without buying anything, with their eyes and heads full of ideas. That leaving without buying didn’t last long. One fact. 6% of Catalans born in these three decades were conceived in Ikea beds. If that impresses you, and returning to the topic of the meatballs from the Swedish restaurant inside the facilities, you should also know that 8.7 million meatballs have been served and eaten, so that if you stacked one meatball on top of another (and on top of the other, the one) we could build a tower 60 kilometers high.
