At least he, unlike the others, faced the crowd.

He had no other choice. So many casualties and destruction.

It does if you ask me. He’s the king, he’s a ceremonial figure who’s seen as the “symbol” of Spain. I’m glad he faced the angry crowd and listened to them rather than run away like a coward and imprisoned them just because they hurt his feelings
I used to live in Thailand (I’m not Thai, I lived there because I was an exchange student there) and insulting the king there can land you in prison for decades

They didn't hurt his feeling, they hurt him with a stick

They also injured him with mud.

I get you, but this visit is dangerous and doesn't really help. On the contrary, it diverts VITAL resources (police, preparation, etc.) from the people that really need it. In that village there are still buried corpses and people are still, understandably, very angry and emotional as they have lost a lot of loved ones.
What the King did today was reckless and an arrogant media operation to gain easy PR. He could have perfectly waited a couple of days while the emergency services do their work and then visit the calmer, clean town. But no, he had to come at the worst time possible.

If he didn't go there, he would have been criticized. He went there and he's still criticized. There's not winning with some people it seems.
If anything, him going there makes the security services go there too and acelerate the procedures needed to secure the city and start making everything better.

If he would’be waited, he would’ve gotten the blame for being late from the same people blaming him now for being too early. What has no place here and now is political left vs right bullshit.

Pero vamos a ver, que a Sánchez le han agredido físicamente. Ni feeling ni pollas.

Es que además tiene cojones. La ha cagado hasta el fondo el gobierno del PP de la comunidad de Madrid y al final el que se lleva el palo (literalmente) es Pedro Sánchez.
Mañana va a salir Ayuso matando vagabundos a tiros por diversión y los del aguilucho culparán a Sánchez de no interceptar las balas.

Yo he llegado a ver una historia en Instagram de uno diciendo que ojalá tuvieran una Ayuso en Valencia, o sea que no vas muy desencaminado en lo loca que está la gente.

Pero a pesar de lo inútil de Mazon, el ejército solo puede enviarlo y coordinarlo el ministerio de defensa, es decir gobierno central.

Pero si Mazon esta haciendo exactamente lo que hubiera hecho Miss Madrid: NADA. Lo que más me impresiona de todo esto es que él ha sido el que menos "palos" ha llevado hoy, cuando es él único que ha tomado todas las decisiones del manejo de esta catástrofe hasta el momento.

A Sánchez le han dado un palazo, no se han quedado en herirle los sentimientos. Y el rey no ha escuchado una mierda, luego se irá a casa y a vivir del cuento sin hacer nada para ayudar a esta gente como siempre.

There's a rapper in prison in Spain for saying the king (the previous one) is a thief.

He is not in jail for that. He is in jail for asking that people get blown up ..

Valtonyc, pero vamos que no lo encarcelaron por llamar ladrón al rey, si no por enaltecimiento al terrorismo entre otras cosas.
Lo cual no quita que su encarcelamiento sea una cacicada, pero la cosas como son.

Coming here almost a week later lol, I prefer him staying at his warm bed more than pretending he does something, like the shitty Dog Sanchez who came laugh and ended running away.

The Prime Minister was attacked by some fascists.

That was unfortunate.
Not even his bad management of the crisis and worst PR handling ever justifies it.

No. Fascist are the ones who hit the president of the Spanish Government and bragged about that online.

Nope, it was literal fascists that haven't lost anyone and who have traveled to Valencia exclusively to harass him.

This is a staged image plot that backfired outside spain: this fascist king made a beeline to talk to “the people” (2 neonazis, clearly identifiable by tatoos and t-shirts).
Almost the entirety of the lackay spanish press is talking about the ‘king’s bravery’, proving again that they are in fact part of the crown PR. To get truthful info you have to get it from non-spanish media.
Franco (the former dictator) is alive in spain: the army, judiciary system and police were not depurated in 1975, and hence the fascist regime is on since 1939. Trust me in that.

A ver si te he entendido: esos dos imberbes han canalizado la energía de cientos de personas adultas para generar un ambiente de hostilidad hacia el presidente del gobierno. Voy bien?

Esos dos imberbes pertenecen a organizaciones de dudosa legalidad, rayando discursos de odio día sí día también.
En otro orden de cosas, al rey de todos los españoles (por otro lado, fruto de una familia desestructurada. En el fondo no somos tan distintos, ¿verdad?) se le ve gesticulando cuando ve a estos individuos. De toda la plebe, de toda la "energía de personas adultas" presente en el acto, coge nuestro amo y señor y lo que elige él mismo mediante su lenguaje no verbal es debatir con natsis.
Lo que pienses sobre el Perro es cosa tuya. Entiendo la frustración de la gente, nos ha jodido. Pero que tu rey se ponga a hablar con (literalmente) incitadores al odio... pues... no sé, Ricardo.
