A Sunday of Protest in Valencia
Last Saturday the 9th, the city of Valencia witnessed a demonstration that has marked a before and after in the regional political scene. With approximately 130,000 attendees, according to the authorities, the event reflected the deep public concern caused by the DANA, a phenomenon that has shaken the foundations of the Valencian Community.
Criticism of the Government and Messages of Discontent
Called by several organizations of the sovereignist left, the march focused its criticism on the figure of President Mazón. The attendees expressed their rejection with forceful slogans such as ‘Mazón, murderer!’, evidencing a clear hostility towards the Popular Party. Voices of discontent also pointed to President Sánchez, but the main tension was directed towards the right.
Scenes of Tension and Violence
The day, however, was not just an act of peaceful protest. The incidents at the end of the demonstration resulted in acts of vandalism at the Palace of the Generalitat and in police charges. The images circulating on social networks show moments of great tension, with confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers.
Ruffian Entering the Scene
The politicization of the event intensified with the reaction of Gabriel Rufián, who took advantage of the situation to criticize the PP. In response to a tweet from the party that accused Catalanist organizations of trying to cause riots in Valencia, Rufián published a message that caught the attention of thousands of users on the networks.
Lies and Answers
Rufián’s tweet, which listed a series of ‘lies’ attributed to the PP, generated an intense debate, with more than two thousand comments in a short time. Many users defended Rufián, while others did not hesitate to remind him of his own promises, such as to leave Congress after 18 months, which has not been fulfilled.
A Debate in Progress
As the controversy unfolds, online reactions underscore the current political polarization. Social networks have become a battlefield where each message is analyzed and debated, evidencing the complexity of political dynamics in Spain at a time of great social turbulence.
Final Reflections
What began as a demonstration against the political management of a natural tragedy has become a new episode of the political struggle between the different sectors. This reminds us that, in such a charged context, truth and lies often merge, leaving citizens in a sea of confusion and mistrust of their leaders.
