Two international events hosted in Spain, World Mobile Congress in Barcelona and the Contemporary Art Fair, ARCO, in Madrid opened this past week to expose unresolved tensions in Spanish society. In the first case, the reception of the Spanish Monarchy by the majority of Catalans, pro-independence or not, following the King's October 3rd televised address. In the second, the removal of the work "Political Prisoners in Contemporary Spain" at the request of the authorities, further illuminated an environment in which freedom of speech is challenged.
