    When elected he called the Parliament the "temple of democracy" & bowed to touch his head on its footsteps. Turns out that was hypocrisy. Of course, there is a reason for his non-attendance. Debates / dialogues ; he is mortally scared of them.

  16. One of the weirdest things is Catalan people I have blocked for being rude, abusive, smearing, threatening, complain for having been blocked. I’m doing them a favour not to have to put up with more of my views, which they hate so much, yet they relish for more!
