Chanel disassociates herself from the jury: "I haven't spoken to Benedited for 4 years" | culture and entertainment

“Very happy and happy, landing the victory and eager to work”, Chanel has returned to appear before the press this Sunday after her election as the Spanish candidate for Eurovision, “strong” in the face of the criticism that her victory aroused in Benidorm Fest by the voting system.

In “The Great Successor. The divinely perfect destiny of the brilliant comrade Kim Jong Un” (Captain Swing), whose Spanish version will be published tomorrow, Monday, Fifield, who has traveled to North Korea several times and has been a Washington Post correspondent in Beijing and Tokyo, presents a picture -not exempt from certain doses of black humor- in which the reality of a country ruled by a dictator who can in no way be taken as a joke can be clearly observed, despite his appearance of a “cartoon character”. .”
