Badalona: return to politics, please

El día que Línea me pidió un artículo sobre los resultados electorales en Badalona, pensé que podría hacer algo de historia y que era una ocasión para explicar algo que interesadamente continúa en el imaginario de algunos pequeños espacios políticos de Badalona.
