Summary

King Felipe VI of Spain faced a hostile crowd in Valencia, where unprecedented floods have devastated communities, leaving over 200 dead and many missing. Footage shows protesters shouting “murderer” and “shame” at the king, with some throwing objects and mud as he walked through the affected area of Paiporta.

    Last I checked, Franco did not sire the entire Spanish population. Who you are blaming for things that happened before any of them were born.

      Franco did not sire the entire Spanish population.

      No, but he did kill, or drive into exile or poverty and political irrelevance anyone who didn’t share his views.

      Most of the surviving population, especially the ones with economic and political power, were fascists. Their children were fascists. Their grandchildren were fascists wearing progressive masks. And their great grandchildren are fascists who’ve taken off their masks.

      When the bastard said he left everything “tied up and well tied up” he wasn’t kidding.

        Those people were also Spanish. The ones you condemn for what they did to your ancestors. So shouldn’t you be in favor of that?

            I’m just going with your reasoning.

            So there are good Spanish people that are still descended from the evil people who did things to your ancestors and they don’t deserve contempt?

            Because that goes against everything else you’ve said.

        Sure mate. I guess you know half or more of spain population to say so…

        What you apparently forgot to mention is that even in Germany or Italy, where they “cleaned” the place of fascism are dealing with a raise in fascism. Maybe your vision is slightly biased.
