The barking of the dog that was heard in the Parliament of Strasbourg has encouraged comedians and television comedians. The most pointed and tricky joke was launched by the comic actress Virginia Riezu in ‘Everything is a lie’ (Four). He has said, in the form of a question: «In the European Parliament you can bark and you can’t speak in Catalan?». This joke can be interpreted, from Catalonia, in very controversial ways.
It is connected with that anecdote that circulated in the 60s according to which a famous Chilean announcer living in Spain, Bobby Deglane, He said that the Catalans, when they speak, bark, and the great Mary Santpere I answer: “I only know that we Catalans call dogs Bobby.” Apparently this anecdote was a hoax. But I tell it so that the youngest people, who perhaps were unaware of it, understand how the environment can be poisoned by twisting linguistics.
Apart from the little dog and his barking, the best thing about that day has been how excited the news was with the image of Sanchez and Puigdemont coinciding, a few meters away, in Strasbourg. The most beautiful reaction in my opinion has been that of Toni Cruanyes presenter of ‘TN vespre’ (TV-3). He approached the photo of both politicians that appeared enlarged on his set, scrutinized it tenderly, and exclaimed: «They have not met! They haven’t greeted each other! But they have been ‘playing’! That is, they have been very close. And she projected Cruanyes her little hand towards the photo, perhaps with the hope of giving them a loving push to bring them together.
