Euro woes

Fa quatre o cinc anys que llegeixo, cada dia, el Glosari de Xènius. En aquest moment no sembla pas haver-hi, per a la secció d’Eugeni d’Ors, tant d’entendriment com en altres èpoques. [...]
  • 14 de març de 1919 L’agitació obrera torna a abrivar-se. Tothom afirma que els conflictes que hi ha en porta tindran unes proporcions mai no vistes.
