The Catalan National Assembly (ANC), whose objective is the political independence of Catalonia, and Espanyol have started a controversy on social networks that once again rescues the sport and politics binomial that turns fans on so much and that has become the morning topic mainly on Twitter. And again it places Espanyol as a hitter.
On Saturday afternoon, the ANC used an initiative of the Blue and White club based on promoting the businesses and trades of parakeet members to help them in these difficult times of the pandemic to criticize the Department of Development of the Generalitat, who had denounced them for creating the campaign called Strategic Trade, which promoted the creation of a directory of companies committed to the Catalan Republic.
⬛⬜ ❗ Alert campanya perillosíssima that demands to l'afició that discrimini negotiacis by ideology! So that Foment els will denounce, how will it denounce us for Strategic Consumers, oi? ???? Molt d'èxit als paraicos, com a totes les campanyes de consum de la societat civil! https://t.co/NK1YhEhdwv

The message on Twitter citing Espanyol's initiative stated the following: “Alert, a very dangerous campaign that asks fans to discriminate businesses based on ideology. Luckily Foment will report them as they reported us for Strategic Consumption, right? Much success to the parrots, as to all the consumer campaigns of civil society. “
A message that, this Sunday, Espanyol has been in charge of answering through another ironic tweet: “Do we take advantage of the attention that some give us now? Solidarity campaigns in which you can collaborate: material for the Sahara, collection of food and toys, clothes for the homeless, care for the elderly … Parakeets are like that, focused in helping, without more “.
Aprofitem l'atenció that they dispense for some? Campanyes solidàries #RCDE on being able to collaborate:
Material for the Sahara
· Recollida d'aliments i joguines
Steal per person sense llar
· Attention to great peopleI month, to the web.
Els paraicos som així: centers on AJUDAR, sense més.

A controversy that is not the first in the last month. The Barcelona Wax Museum decided to dress Ricardo Zamora with a goalkeeper shirt with the Barça crest, when the club that best represents the mythical goalkeeper, the first icon of Spanish football, is Espanyol. The goal, even, denied his years at Barcelona in a letter.
