El Gobierno de Navarra censura las canciones de Amaral

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The claim concerned reports that Navarra’s Education Department had barred classroom listening to songs deemed sexist, including Amaral’s “Sin ti no soy nada.” Newtral says the alleged restriction was presented as part of Skolae, an equality program for students. The investigation reports that sources in the department rejected the central allegation: “Es rotundamente falso que Gobierno de Navarra haya censurado una lista de canciones.” The review distinguishes a real classroom activity from a ban. Under Skolae, students aged 12 to 16 examined songs for “el machismo y la violencia que pueden reproducir.” But, according to the department sources quoted by Newtral, listening was not restricted: “Ni vetamos ni prohibimos, todo lo contrario. Queremos que se escuchen para analizarlas.” Thus, the reported educational analysis of song lyrics did not establish that the government had censored Amaral’s song. Newtral also reports that the song list came from a bibliography used in similar projects by the governments of the Canary Islands and the city council of Valencia. The review says Navarra had already run Skolae as a pilot in 16 schools the previous year. These details provide context for the activity, while the decisive evidence against the claim is the department’s explicit denial of any prohibition and its explanation that the songs were meant to be heard and analyzed.

Picasso pintó el Guernica en recuerdo de un torero

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The claim checked is that Picasso painted Guernica in tribute to a friend who was a bullfighter. Newtral says this claim circulated in a WhatsApp chain and reports asking Rocío Robles, an art-history professor and researcher on the Museo Reina Sofía’s “Repensar Guernica” project, about its inspiration. The account gives a different sequence: Picasso received a commission from the Republican government in early 1937 for a large painting for the Spanish pavilion at the Paris International Exposition, and had not yet begun painting when news reached him of the bombing of Guernica by the Condor Legion. It says he made the first sketch that same day, inspired by the destruction.
