Helena Anillo Satirizes Andorra's Policy Failures in February 2026 Vignettes

Helena Anillo, the Altaveu commentator known for her satirical vignettes, has extended her humorous critiques of Andorra's policy landscape into late February 2026.

On 27 February, Anillo targeted environmental mismanagement in her piece *El paisatge com a parc temàtic* ("The Landscape as a Theme Park"). She depicted APAPMA official Jordi Alcobé donning Mickey Mouse ears despite widespread public disagreement, underscoring institutional indifference to social concerns. Tagged under APAPMA and the environment, the vignette highlights tensions over landscape protection.

This follows her 26 February commentary *Amulets*, which poked fun at the government's approval of seven new grants to support first-time homebuyers. Anillo suggested adding lucky charms as "gifts" to aid their prospects amid persistent property shortages. The housing and government policy piece reflects broader efforts to tackle access barriers.

Earlier that week, on 24 February, she compared La Seu d'Urgell's housing pressures—driven by Andorran demand—to the TV game show *Pasapalabra*, illustrating spillover effects on the Catalan town's residents. The next day, in *Vigila el que desitges* ("Be Careful What You Wish For"), she lampooned buses packed with non-EU nationals arriving for Schengen passport stamps, spotlighting quirks in tourism and cross-border mobility.

Anillo's ongoing barbs align with Andorran media trends, including Argentine seasonal workers' warnings of staffing gaps at Pas de la Casa through the ski season's end, health issues in one in five families linked to children's technology use, and alerts for dog owners after poisoned meat laced with glass appeared along the Rec del Solà path. Vehicle fires in Aixirivall have also prompted safety calls in Sant Julià de Lòria.
