Salvador Sostres: The Parlament bar stops selling Conguitos due to complaints of racism from a customer

The bar of the Parliament of Catalonia has stopped selling Conguitos because it considers them a racist product. Because of both its name and its color, it has suddenly been assumed that the popular candy It is an apology for colonialism in Africaso its sale has been replaced by other chocolate products such as Toblerone or KitKat.

Faced with the surprise and exclamation of everyone in the Parliament, the chamber, chaired by the neo-convergent Josep Rull, has been forced to react: «The Parliament has not prohibited anything, nor does the equality plan affect the sale of Conguitos in the bar. That this product is not sold is the decision of the bar, not the Parliament. A customer, who was not even a politician, made a comment a while ago about whether it was appropriate to sell this product. The person in charge of the bar, when he finished the stock he had, decided not to sell any more Conguitos for the moment.

The owner of the bar, according to his own explanations, has made the aforementioned decision much more out of fear of a negative campaign than to obey the orders of a specific political official.
