Since on September 20, Isabel Jiménez Moratilla – known in her time as a Poor Clare as Sister Israel – appeared on Instagram for the last time to criticize Iceta again on account of the salaries of its employees, the former nuns of Belorado have kept a suspicious silence only broken by the statuses on the social network in which they remember the saint of the day and the possible relationship with his, already, former congregation. Until this Wednesday.
Again through a post on Instagram, the former Clares have announced that “from now on” they will have a new press chief “responsible for managing relationships with journalism professionals.” This is Francisco Canals, who on his website defines himself as a “journalist specialized in events, current affairs and cybercrimes.” and who in the last twenty years “has developed his career in the context of investigative journalism, consumer defense and the media.”
According to the same post, the contract was made by “the Santa Clara de Belorado association”, the entity they formed a few days before announcing their schism with the Catholic Church and to which they intended to transfer both the property and the economic activity of the monasteries. However, the association was never registered by the Ministry of the Interior, so it does not have a CIF or maintain a commercial activator.
In conversation with ABC Canals, he acknowledged that he had been in contact with the former religious for “some time” and had been following the issue since the crisis became public. Thus, in “the last few weeks there was a rapprochement, we made a video call and I gave them my position on how the media is treating them.” Canals understands that “they are being caricatured” and “their message is being distorted.”
In that sense, he has stated that his mission is to “help them communicate”, since for them “the world of the written press and the sets is too big for them.” “I think they are mistreated and that they have to be helped, since they are victims of injustice.” In addition, he has also pointed out that “they are financially suffocated and survive on donations.”
Since the crisis began, this medium has tried to have the direct version of the former religious, who have always refused to respond. Now, with his new press chief, all the pending questions are already on the table. Maybe now it will be easier for them to finally have an answer.
