A lo largo de la historia, algunas personas sencillas se convierten en símbolos. Muestran una realidad política o social, amalgaman emociones y guían o activan una comunidad. Maricarmen y su desahucio es probable que se recuerde mucho tiempo como un símbolo de nuestro tiempo.

Estupenda la iniciativa que desde la Uni en la calle de la Complutense está llevando las clases a Sol. Hoy he impartido una sesión denominada "Democracia radical vs. populismos. Una teoría política para y desde las acampadas". Todo un reto. La he disfrutado un montón, con una audiencia muy especial.
