Op-Ed: Andrea Fabra sparks new graffitti campaign in southern Spain

Fuengirola - When Andrea Fabra cheered Rajoy's announcements of the latest austerity measures, she made a comment, on video, which upset the nation. Now a new graffitti campaign is getting revenge.

Digital Journal reported on July 14 on the recent protests in Spain against the latest austerity measures introduced by Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. In that article, it was mentioned that Andrea Fabra, deputy in the ruling Partido Popular (PP), had applauded Rajoy's announcements, shouting out "¡que se jodan!", which basically means "F*ck them all", referring to the unemployed and suffering people of her own country. A banner carried in Friday's protest march is displayed below, which says "F*ck you Fabra"

According to media, she tried to pass this off as an insult to the opposing PSOE party, because they had been jeering and booing during the speech, but the people know better.
