The Untouchables

Fernando VII. His laughter can be heard loud and clear today. 

They're the untouchables. They cannot be touched by the justice system. Yet another page of shame out of the book of Spanish History.

Són els intocables. El sistema de justícia no els pot tocar. Una altra fulla de vergonya treta del llibre de la Història d'Espanya.

A portrait of contemporary Spain?

Burgos-born artist Ausín Sáinz had this and other artistic works removed by municipal staff in Salamanca with the aid of the police.

The paintings were subsequently dumped on the street and left in the heavy rain. The exhibition he had been preparing was cancelled.

Plastic arts are a very valid and most accurate means of portraying reality. Sáinz is no doubt a talented painter and demonstrates some flair for certain colours, shapes and hairdos.
