English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
Mario Noya's tweet, quoting rau_lista, simply says "TROYA MUST BURN". It provides no data on Mari Carmen's situation or on the government's assessment of it.
## A phrase with no data
The tweet by **Mario Noya**, quoting **rau_lista**, says "TROYA MUST BURN". That's all. It doesn't mention Mari Carmen, or the government, or any crime. The phrase is a hyperbole. In the context of Mari Carmen's situation, which the government has reportedly called a misogynist crime, the phrase works as a call to outrage.
## The echo of an expression
"Troy must burn" evokes destruction. It is not an economic fact. There are no figures. The economy runs on data: prices, incomes, contracts. Here there is none. The phrase is a shout. Its informational value is nil. Its value as a signal of discontent is high.
## What cannot be claimed
It cannot be said how much housing costs for Mari Carmen. It is not known whether she has an old rent contract. It is not known whether the government has labelled anything. The tweet doesn't say. Any figure would be made up. The only certainty is the phrase.
