the first greeting of Joel Diaz at the head of ‘Zona Franca’ (TV-3) has been: “Puta nit i bona Espanya… it was the other way around, wasn’t it?”. Interesting start. An entrance marking territory. It remains in many TV-3 stars, still, that need to make their belonging to the cause clear. It’s like life insurance. A safe conduct.
It allows them to progress in the established media shed. And at the same time it is a warning to the part of the audience that they are interested in attracting. A kind of ‘som de confiança!’, and that all the ‘colla’ pass the notice. The good thing, and at the same time pleasantly surprising about this ‘late show’, is the heterodoxy that they allow for now. An undeniable and extremely impertinent ingenuity –even regarding its own independent essence– has overflowed this first installment in an extraordinarily poignant and lucid way. The castañazos that he has given Joel Diaz They have been admirably eclectic. He has known how to distribute the firewood well distributed. A Lluis Llach it has assimilated him to a kind of mutant of ideologies that as he has been getting rich has ended up settling in a very comfortable libertarian right. A Xavier Sala i Martin has called you Xavier Rata i Martín, “the rat of the colored jackets”.
A Pere Aragones: “Harmless and bland.” It was also very explicit when, sitting on the toilet bowl, he wiped his ass with the ‘Llibre d’Estil de TV-3’. And above all, my canary flute Papitu has greatly liked the intimate confession of Joel when he said: “This program is another step in my civil service career.” A clear shot at that kind of colossal civil service that ‘la seva’ has become. has also been accompanied Joel of the sarcastic analyst Manuel Vidal, fine and caustic biter at the same time, with an abrasive intelligence, which of the Government of the Generalitat said: “Neither with Junts, nor without Junts, has he ever been an independentist.” Already Joan Laporta He has sent you this ‘souvenir’: “So many things from the club have been sold, that if Abidal were to continue at Barça, he would not have a liver again.”
With this program, TV-3 has opened the door to iconoclastic protest within the independence world. There is talent. Insolence. They are not apostates. They are a kind of satirical guard on the way to Ithaca. They enjoy whipping, from within, with humor, other lukewarm faithful who get in the way.
