For Oliviero Toscani, Italy has stopped evolving
In an interview conducted by Miguel Mora, Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani says that his country is in a deep crisis. "Italy is lost! For 50 years architecture hasn't evolved, mediocre intelligence has become the norm, 'mamas' continue to neuter their men, professors make less than construction workers, no one respects school, and it has become necessary to defend teachers against idiotic parents. It's not possible to remake this country, because the decadence isn't economic; it's moral and it's retransmitted at all hours via television. We have been defeated by vulgarity. We'll die elegant, dressed in the latest style, vulgar, empty and rendered idiotic."

The Spanish-Portuguese quarrel over Olivenza
The Spanish town of Olivenza, situated on the border between Portugal and Spain, has been a bone of contention between the two countries for many long years. Portugal does not recognise the current border line and continues to claim this municipality as its own. The Portuguese name of the town is Olivença. For Miguel Mora, the Spanish daily's special correspondent, "the Portuguese heritage is apparent in every corner of Olivenza. Even the new street paving is, with its illustrations and little black and white stones, clearly Portuguese. The mayor Ramon Rocha is in fact of Andalousian origin, but prides himself on guarding the melting pot of people and preserving Portuguese tradition. 'We try not to lose it. It is our history and we are proud of it. And we also try to keep the language, because it is an additional element of our history'".
