“Covid-19 might have passed, but the latest outbreak of titulitis is tearing through Spain. A term used to refer to politicians’ obsession with higher qualifications, titulitis has recently resulted in the resignation of three regional representatives of both the Conservative People’s Party (PP) and the Socialists.
