In Spain we are used to listen, quite often, that our transition from the Franco dictatorship to democracy (or so we call it) as a Model for other countries.

We are also used to hear some Spanish people teaching other countries on How to Do Things in Democracy.

Yet I found quite ironic to read today that Videla died in prison. While Franco died on bed and he decided who would be the successor in Spain.

Maruja Torres, one of the References in the journalism of my country, has been fired from the prime newspaper here, El País, in the last of an ashaming list of events from a newspaper which also used to be a Reference and has become a very pale shade of its former self.

This is her last article in the Opinion section, right before she left El País.

How sad years to watch in this beautiful country.

But it's good to see people with dignity, like Maruja, demonstrating that not everything has to be admitted.
