#4  A good portrait of the suicidal nihilism that is so fashionable in Europe and here. The left of 30 years ago promoted anti-patriotism and surrender in the cause of an international revolution. Since that revolution failed, the left can only promote surrender to whatever barbarians happen to come along.

#3  The students absorbed the tragedy into the botellón: their Friday and Saturday evening routine of gathering in central Madrid’s plazas to drink liters of cheap wine mixed with Coca Cola (calimocho).

I cringe in utter horror. Dear God, someone please tell me the author is lying about that part.
