End of the year in Moncloa: a skinny dog is all fleas

The article discusses the end-of-term activities at the Spanish Prime Minister's residence, Moncloa, using the phrase 'a perro flaco todo son pulgas,' which translates to 'when a dog is thin, everything looks like fleas.'

Bias read (Center): The article uses a common Spanish idiom to critique the government's behavior but does not explicitly favor any particular political side. It appears to offer a balanced observation rather than promoting a specific ideological perspective.
