The author stated that artificial intelligence had been used to impersonate the identity of a political opponent through images and voice, with the aim of attacking him. He argued that all boundaries had been crossed and expressed his wish for there to be political and legal consequences.

The author criticized the silence of the rest of the PP and Vox, stating that the latter had to pretend in a video call that the situation was uphill for Abascal.

The author argued that if rent represented 50% of the income of a tenant household, half of their working hours were spent paying property owners, who, as he wrote, earned that income by owning the homes without effort. He described that system as rentier and compared it to feudalism. (translated)

The author lamented the death of Maricarmen and related it to the wear and tear that, as he wrote, she had suffered for years and in the last weeks due to a capitalist system that prioritized the rent-seeking of a few over the right of all to housing.

The author pointed out that all the established parties that do not want to run together now, regardless of the formula or the name, did so in 2016. He added that this suggested that the current decision was driven more by electoral calculations than by political ones, although he indicated that there might also be a sadder explanation, without specifying it.

The author stated that the death of Anwar Shaikh marked the farewell of the leading contemporary Marxist economist.
