The collaborator of the TV-3 program ‘Està passant’, Marc Sarrats, was wondering the other day if an image of Gerard Piqué, happily drinking a bottle of cava, it could be the best picture or synthesis of what that 2017 proclamation of the independence of Catalonia was.
Your boss Tony Soler He had doubts: he said that it would be difficult because the proclamation was so brief, so ephemeral, that there was no time to open a bottle, much less to drink it in a celebratory way.
oh! These exercises that you have been doing Sarrats they are entertaining: play the comparison of what could have been and never was. One day he compared the leader of the PSC Salvador Island with a subway car «because he has zero vision of what happens on the street, on the surface». To another politician James Rivera, of the CUP, compared it to an electric scooter “because it happens and you don’t notice because it doesn’t make noise, and because it’s driven by some kids.” And to the ‘vedette’ of politics Laura Borras He compared it to a plane “because it always looks down on you, and because having a plane is the most posh thing in the world.”
There is a lot of surrealism in these comparisons, and there are also claims of critical didacticism. But in the case of Pique It seems to me that they wanted to tell us something that they haven’t finished saying. Pique It takes some time with a colossal media protagonism projected on him. The family, the personal, the football and the business side of it. The independence speculation was lacking.

In his official dismissal, in his final speech on the pitch after the game against Almería, Pique He finished his speech with a “Visca el Barça, semper!”. He didn’t say ‘Visca la independència!’, Nor ‘Visca la republica!’, Not even ‘Visca Catalunya lliure!’. Perhaps this has caused displeasure in some ‘pal de paller’ in the country. Despite the fact that he has never clearly revealed his position, on April 1 EL PERIÓDICO reported on the podcast that the player had with the ‘youtuber’ Jordi Wild in which he bluntly warned: “Being independent and playing with Spain is compatible.” In other words, a certain ambiguity persists.
This image of Pique drinking cava happily, assimilated to a possible celebration of independence, seems like a naive illusion. The success of astute entrepreneurs consists in not risking a dime on projects that last nine seconds.
