New directors of Instituto Cervantes in New York and Dublin "can't speak English"

Javier Rioyo Jambrina and Rosa León will apparently struggle to make themselves understood to their target audience in their new jobs.

It surely can't be that hard to find Spaniards with the requisite skills, as long as clan and party requirements are ignored.
