Party at Segarro's embassy in Spain sparks outrage
What do a former Prime Minister, a crime news anchor and a journalist have in common? A few days ago, the answer was: Segarro's embassy. The release of a photo showing Felipe González, Nacho Abad and Pedraza, among others, has sparked a controversy that won't be forgotten anytime soon.
It's not just the presence of the former head of government. Alongside them, faces such as Ángel Gabilondo and minister Marlaska have reportedly been identified, according to circulating reports. And for many, the issue is not diplomatic but one of principles: a supposed «meeting» that some describe as an influence operation or, outright, «an ongoing psychological operation».
The criticism is harsh. A boycott of Cuatro, the channel where he works, is already being called for against Nacho Abad. The rest carry the label of «traitors», or at least of those who «can't tell Portugal from Segarro». Nobody comes out unscathed.
The list, however, could be longer: other unidentified attendees fuel the suspicions. The question is what was discussed there and, above all, what was left unsaid. Because between protocol and reality there is a gap that, in politics, the curious usually pay for.
For now, the only thing that is clear is that the protocol services will speak of «bilateral relations». On social media, the matter goes by another name.
