On 27 January 2017, the Barcelona City Council decided to remove the statue of the Marquis of Comillas from the site where it had stood for 138 years. The reason: Antonio Lpez had been, according to a distinguished professor of contemporary history, a "notorious slave trader". This accusation was based fundamentally on the book that Pancho Bru, brother-in-law of the Marquis, published in 1885 after failing in his attempt to extort money from the latter's son. The book is a true pamphlet that can only be accepted if one is unaware of, among many other things, Jacint Verdaguer's opinion of its author: "Get right with God and God will bless your works, which today do not deserve God's blessing". The climate of opinion that has developed as a result of the aforementioned accusation explains the regrettable decision of the Barcelona City Council, a decision that it would be very much to be hoped would be reconsidered.
