I wonder if we politics nerds have underestimated the number of people who have gone mad in recent years. Previously model citizens who've become deeply attached to batshit political projects, including ones obviously damaging to them

"I'm talking to the big hitters, the people who run the EU, by offering defence cooperation we'll get SM access" he said later. No actually he didn't but this is what he is thinking. A story as old as Brexit www.bbc.com/news/article...

I cannot emphasise enough that this isnt a Gaza/crush Zionism election, it's a housing one. And only nerds like me remember Colau's beginings as a housing activist

A new force dedicated to just protecting infrastructure wd be a waste of resources, what's needed is a gendarmerie like they have in France, Italy, Spain, NL, and Portugal, a force that can do a lot of police and security work for the state, including protecting infrastructure

I'll have to think about this a bit more but in the last 2 weeks of her life she was subjected to extraordinary hate in the media, legacy as well as social. What effect will her departure have on voting intentions?

In the second tweet this guy makes a fundamental point: there's something sacrement like in contested evictions, a whole liturgy involving the police, the judicial committee and in high profile cases the media and protestors

Que no, que no. Que todo sigue igual: "Tengo un piso en Chamberí. Un chollo. Tiene inquilino, pero de más de ochenta años, y es diabético. Además creo que ha empezado a ir a diálisis. Una oportunidad cojonuda". Sigue así y seguirá así. El negocio va viento en popa.

The death of Maricarmen has just been announced. She was the 87 year old widow whose eviction from her home on a stretcher a couple of weeks ago triggered a wave of housing rights demos, and the general election when Congress voted down the govts decrees meant to address the crisin

Former Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau to top the joint left list in Barcelona province. A great decision for those who want to see a PPVox government.🙄😬 She's spend most of the last three years campaigning against Israel which fine but the election is not about that www.lavanguardia.com/politica/202...

The primary legal and political responsibility for housing in SPain lies with the regions and municipàlities, overwhelming controlled by the position. Just spitballing but may that has sth to do with the housing crisis. no mention of this in article🙄 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

the reason they don't condemn the latter three is bc they think are fundamentally the good guys, resisting imperialism/zionism, the supreme evils and that means some "unfortunate excesses" on their part must be forgiven for the greater good
