    • 2015 July 23, Pablo de Llano, ““¡Llévenselos al sur!””, in El País:
      Paradójicamente su anacrónico furor patriótico los emparenta de manera indirecta, en cuanto marginales ignorados por el sistema, con los menores que huyen de la miseria de los países paria de la globalización – con la diferencia insoslayable de lo que padecen unos y otros – .
      Paradoxically, their anachronistic, patriotic rage indirectly links them to, as far as being outsiders ignored by the system, the minors that flee the poverty of globalisation's pariah states - with the unavoidable difference being what each suffers.
