The King of Spain is visiting ground zero of the floods in the region of Valencia and people are showing their feelings. Maybe this was the first time in his life that he felt fear. This is unheard of in Spain. As far as I knnow, the monarch was never received like this and much less thrown mud at. People are upset because of the horrific management of the state (especially the regional far-right government of Valencia) and can't understand why thousands of officers are occupied in the visit of the king instead of providing disaster relief. Visca el poble valencià! :anarchoheart3:
In #Valencia the third larges city in Spain, things are getting interesting: On Saturday, after a huge demonstration demanding affordable housing, several hundred protestors occupied a central plaza. In Spain, housing is getting a huge issue (last week there was an enormous demonstration in Madrid) and people are getting really fed up with the capitalist extractive model of tourism that brings benefits to a few and problems for many. Additionally, the people show solidarity with the people of Palestine and the nefarious role of the EU enabling ethnic cleansing. Things are getting heated, and we don't know yet if the spark will turn into a wildfire. Spain had their own, very strong Occupy movement (#15M), and people still remember. Right now, anything could happen! :anarchoheart3: Stay tuned!
