- Política. Les El·leccions Municipals

Aquí tenim a la cúpula suprema de CiU: Obi Mas Kenobi; Anto-ni Adi Mundi i el mestre Pujoda recolzant al padawan Xavier Trias.

*with illusion*
"Hereu bye!"

This is not going to be easy to translate and explain.
On the left side of the picture we have CiU bosses. CiU is the central right party that is currently ruling in Catalunya. Their current president is Artur Mas (the guy with the massive chin) and he is also the current Catalunya's president. He is playing as Obi Mas Kenobi.
Then there's Antoni Duran i Lleida (the bald guy with glasses). He's CiU's representant in the central government of Spain. And he is playing as Anto-ni Adi Mundi.
There's also Jordi Pujol (the small lad). He is CiU expresident (now retired) and he was the president of Catalunya before Montilla, for 23 years. He is playing master Pujoda.
And last AND least (I particularly don't like him very much), there's Xavier Trias (the guy waving). He just won the elections for mayor of Barcelona, and he also belongs to CiU. He's not portrayed as any known Star Wars character because he's a padawan. He still has a lot to learn to join CiU's big shot group.

On the right side of the picture we have two PSC politicians (from the Socialist Catalan Party). If you have seen the previous strip there's José Montilla (the light bulb man) comforting Jordi Hereu (now ex-mayor of Barcelona because he's just lost the elections).

The joke here is double. First I turned the guys from CiU as members of the Jedi Council because, to me, they do resemble at least some of the characters. And secondly (funnier to the actual catalan viewers), the new mayor is saying to the old mayor "Hereu siau" that nearly sounds as "adeu siau" which means "goodbye" in catalan.

- Política. L'Ex-President

L'inimitable.

"So who did you say you were again?"
"I'm Mr. Bombilla, Catalunya's expresident."

Catalunya's last president's name is "Montilla" and it rhymes with "Bombilla" (which means Light Bulb). It's also important to know that when someone is bald, we say "you look like a light bulb". And turns out that Montilla is bald. I know, quite a bad joke ;)

- Política. PSC té veu a Madrid

El PSC es va baixar els pantalons davant del govern central votant en contra dels 1,450,000,000 d'Euros del fons de competitivitat.

"PSC has a say in Madrid" (PSC = Partit Socialista de Catalunya = Socialist Party of Catalunya)
"Alright, Daniel, you can all leave now and start cleaning Moncloa's toilets. And no moaning, huh?!
"Yes, My lord Zapatero"

PSC is the Catalan version of the PSOE (Partido Socialista Obrero Español = Socialist Party of Spain, basically). And PSC got to vote against Catalunya's interests (by denying 1,450,000,000€ funds from the central government to Catalunya) and they still claim that they didn't follow orders from PSOE and that they veil for Catalans' interests.
As you can all see, Daniel Fernández (representant of PSC) is bowing infront of José Luis Rodríguez ZAPATERO (current president of Spain, and president of PSOE) and granting him his wishes. Moncloa's Palace

- Les Retallades Pt. 1

La Generalitat ha començat les retallades, començant pel departament de Salut (representat per l'hospital de Bellvitge) i el departament d'universitats (representat per l'edifici històric de la UB)

The Catalan Government: "Let's go ahead with the cutbacks"
The Catalan Health Department: "No! Oh, please, no!"
The Catalan Government: "HAHAHAHAHA!"
The Catalan Government: "Next!"
The Catalan Department of Universities: "Oh my god!"


The buildings represent the various protagonists above. This refers to the current political situation in Catalunya, where the government has made serious cutbacks to Health and Universities.

- Perdoneu, Però Algú Ho Havia De Dir. Pt 1

"BlackBerries are antisocial. Excuse me, but someone had to state that"
"If someone wants to reply, my BB-Pin is: 874R792L"

This is a joke that's very common these days in Catalunya. State a fact and add "sorry, but someone had to say that". It all began with this politician we can see in the picture. His name is Joan Tardà, and it's been made popular by TV3, on a tv show called "Polònia" in which they explain day after day politics through gags.

- Star Wars 3

"Mas, agree with the dark side of the politics you must."
"Yes, master."

The catalan expresident we had a long, long time ago kind of looks like Master Yoda, and he "supervises" the current government, as it's the same political party. You can see here he's "suggesting" Mas (our current president) what's the best thing he can do.
