Lo local
The film La Sociedad de la Nieve by J. A. Bayona has brought cannibalism back into public discourse. In Spain, debates about the left of the PSPV-PSOE have long reflected a space people once saw as a driver of social change. The disappointment after the 15M movement, the scandals around many of the leaders who propelled that current, and the outcomes of the regional and municipal elections on May 28 have helped shape a new political landscape. In this scene, the left coalition appears more focused on eroding the other parties to claim space than on refreshing its own message to address current citizens’ needs and offer real political options.
