1. The day of the Spain's official state homage to the victims of coronavirus has arrived. How many official dead will there be at the end, when the time comes? You can watch the event live here: https://www.rtve.es/directo/la-1/
3. TVE journalist Ana Blanco reads the introduction. Spain's former Prime Ministers are present. Abascal retweets himself: “Vox will not attend any tribute turned into a ceremony to remove blame from the government.”
5. King of Spain offers a white flower for coronavirus victims at the burning flame in the centre of the tribute. Somebody has chosen Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings as the sad music.
7. Is that it? About 45 minutes. One state minute for every 1,000 dead in the MoMo. Flowers, the flame, the minute of silence, a short poem, a few words from the King, words from a nurse, words from a relative and a TV presenter as master of ceremonies.
9. Sánchez and Igleisas were incapable of going to the funeral mass in the cathedral and now Abascal and Vox have been incapable of going to the tribute ceremony at the Royal Palace. Is this normal?
