The fury of Spanish residents of one of the hardest hit towns toward the government boiled over.
-
@chris unverified that busloads of vols were taken to clean malls full of transnational brand shops. Frightening...never waste a valuable crisis.
-
@chris this triggers so much for me.
Turns out, in an era of climate catastrophe where the environment, not government, holds the monopoly on violence, governments need to acknowledge that they risk holding a monopoly on care. If they don't deliver on that care, or don't share resources and ability... Well, the anger of the people they've let down is real and probably justified.(Violence isn't justified, but a capable government abandoning people during an emerg. feels a lot like violence..)
-
@blaine i think the violence was fairly minimal, mostly just mud pies. But the anger is definitely real It will be interesting to see if the regional government steps down in the aftermath. They and the weather service seem to really be taking the brunt of the blame.

Another angle. Neo-nazis (pro-royalists) had gathered in the town and were inciting the townspeople against PM Sánchez. But Sánchez quickly left, leaving the king to face the angry crowd.
Personally, I think it’s verifiable that the neo-nazis showed up. It’s typical of them to take advantage of a crisis moment. But I’m sure there would have been a lot of anger even w/o agitators.

@chris the regional government here in the Slocan still hasn't acknowledged that they didn't do anything less than a great job.
Those of us who were affected this summer are still very much cleaning up (with *zero* help from the district or province, much less federally - in contrast with Jasper). The more this happens, the closer we get to *really* poor outcomes for society.

I was wondering if there was any political, far right or Francoist element. But I didnt want to make the claim without some proof

@blaine YES

@blaine this is how things break down. People lose faith in good governance.

@paladinabollito @donray muchas gracias por el explicación.

Con mi toot, sólo quería notar para los que leen inglés que la situación fue posiblemente más complicada que sólo la ira general del pueblo. No he leído nada de eso en otras fuentes en inglés.
La verdad, no tengo claro los motivos de los ultras. Parece que causar problemas es su hobby. Pero me sorprendería que quisieran causar problemas para el rey (pero qué sé yo…).

@donray @chris @paladinabollito Sorprende que el único en romper el protocolo fuese el rey y su escolta lo permitiese en un ambiente tan hostil. A no ser que se supiese que no era tan hostil hacia su persona. Sale reforzado de esto mientras los demás son cobardes, y tal.

@natharell @donray @chris es que de un audio que he visto de pasar, creo que sabía con quienes están hablando. Y teniendo en cuenta que han visto a Mazon con Negre, me da que estaba bastante preparado, sí
