The controversial company Desokupa tries to sneak back into the electoral campaign on July 23 with a giant canvas in the center of Madrid. On this occasion, he has placed a giant banner at number 35 Calle Atocha, at the height of Antón Martín, with an image of the face of the current Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, with a worried face, and the Falcon plane, the means of transport used by all the presidents of the government on their official trips, together with a Moroccan flag.
The founder of the company, Daniel Esteve and other politicians also appear with a rather aggressive face, but with smaller images.
This company mounted a demonstration in Barcelona against Ada Colau in the middle of the electoral campaign on May 28 in order to influence the electoral results. And destabilize the then mayoress of Barcelona. Some 800 people attended. There were also conflicts in the Plaza de la Bonanova as a result of acts called by this company when several occupied buildings were found there.
The phrase. The main message is “You to Morocco: Desokupa la Moncloa”. Although there is also another very significant one on the bib that reads: “We will miss you all”. In this sense, the banner alludes to the PSOE and its government partner, Unidas Podemos, since the faces of Pablo Iglesias, Irene Montero, Ione Belarra, Pablo Echenique, the ERC spokesman in Congress Gabriel Rufián also appear on the poster. , the former mayoress of Barcelona herself, Ada Colau and the former socialist deputy Juan Bernardo Fuentes Curbelo, alias ‘Tito Berni’.
The context. This initiative is a continuation of the canvas war that took place in the capital in the regional and local elections on May 28. Several posters were installed by political groups such as Podemos, with their candidates or with images of rivals. Or the Madrid PP placed another with the image of the president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, after her absolute majority. The president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, even jumped to the posters for the infrastructure works carried out in the capital together with the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida.
Also a few days ago, Vox placed another controversial banner that had feminist, communist, LGTBIQ, squatter symbols and the 2030 Agenda logo. Finally, the electoral board forced the removal of the Vox banner on the grounds that it was prohibited propaganda before the election campaign begins.
The echo. The objective of the company is that the message goes viral and jumps to social networks. In short, talk about his campaign against the current central government. It remains to be seen if the Electoral Board has the last word or what body can act against this type of electoral propaganda.
