The magazine El Jueves has responded to the controversy unleashed in Fuerteventura following its style, that is, with more satire and humor. The editors of the magazine have published a new text on their website, as a result of the criticisms they have received from the Cabildo and from the PP majorero, for a cartoon dedicated to that island.
"The newsroom of El Jueves evacuated after receiving an envelope full of mojo picón", they title the text. "The package raised suspicions by having Caco Senante's lyrics written on the sender's address", they add in the subtitle. Thus, far from the "rectification" that they were demanding from the PP and from the Cabildo of Fuerteventura, in El Jueves they have taken the opportunity to continue with their satire and to joke with the "discomfort" caused by their cartoon in some sectors.
In the case of the Cabildo majorero, it showed its "strongest rejection" for the "insulting content" of the magazine, criticizing that it referred to Fuerteventura as "the Caribbean of the poor", that "it mocked the accent of the majorera population" and that it affirmed that public transport "passes every 75 years". Although it was a humor cartoon and not an article or a news item, the Corporation demanded that El Jueves "rectify statements that make it untrue".
The Popular Party also demanded the same, which even announced an initiative for all the parties of the Cabildo to support "an institutional declaration in rejection of this publication". Two days later, this has been the response of El Jueves:
The limits of humor have been tested again. Last morning, a strange package arrived at the El Jueves newsroom (yes, these scoundrels also work at dawn) causing chaos and police intervention at the headquarters. The envelope, fortunately, only contained a warning: "Be careful messing with the Canarians, next time it will be with green mojo".
Despite the discomfort caused by the article published this week, the Canarian authorities have denied being involved in the attack and majorera cells based in Barcelona are suspected. Canarian celebrities such as Ignatius or El Guincho have already signed a statement of rejection of the action. Although in no way do they justify the jokes of these Gothic humorists. "I don't believe in violence, but if I meet them one day I'm going to put 2 kilos of papas arrugás up their asses", declares the singer-songwriter Pedro Guerra.
The rest of the vilified groups remain calm. The SISFTAP association (Italian Surfers Who Surely Fucked Your Former Partner) asks for clemency for Modgi and Ferrús: "We don't want to harm anyone. Besides, those guys are scriptwriters, and comic book writers! Things can't get much worse for them in life either", comments an attractive surfing spokesman.
