The Spanish president was really worried about the bad image his country was offering to the world. The New York Times had published some pictures of Spaniards looking for food in garbage containers.
"We can't tolerate that", protested one of the ministers holding one of the photos during the cabinet council. "I suggest we should send these photographers who offend Spain straight to jail..."
The president scratched his beard. He was thinking over the matter calmly. Then he said to his concerned ministers:
"Don't be so visceral. We live in a civilized country. All we have to do is ban hunger..."
Frantz Ferentz, 2012
