The leader of the socdem party (and former vicepresident) received yesterday a menacing letter and some bullets in his mail.

Today he left a debate with all the other candidates for the Madrid Community because the far right candidate (a gusana) kept spewing racist shit and accused him of making it up. A few moments later the left wing liberals abandoned it too.

      That's the thing with countries like Spain and Brazil. There was never a moment where the fascists, meaning that their supporters could still exist in society and gain power in the democratic government.

      I can't find anything. If you want a left wing spanish one, check out "El Salto Diario" or "El Diario" (bigger but also shittier).

      Often I think the rockets should go down in Spain, not up.

      I'd like to not see it so i can't link it, but if you want to, you should find it if you type (Pablo Iglesias) and (SER). (The socdem and the radio that aired it).

      Here is a communist comedian watching it live, it starts at like 11 minutes: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/997730036

        Thanks, this was a little easier than I thought it would be since the comedian basically just says "oh my god" and "what is happening?" while everyone argues. Is he usually pretty entertaining / a good source for Spanish politics?

          Oh yeah. Every monday-friday in twitch at 11:00-13:00 talking about the news or random stuff. He's a communist too, so that's neat.

          He also has a podcast with another comedian leftist in youtube called NTMEP every saturday-sunday. You can see some old episodes in another channel called "No te metas en politica".

    In my country the social democrat would have agreed with the fascist, maybe even tried to out-racist him.
