The mud that killed, thrown at royalty. It looks like the scene of one of the popular uprisings that led to the construction of modern Europe, but it is not. The Spaniards of Valencia are angry, and they have lashed out not only at the King and Queen, but also at bourgeois power, namely Premier Sanchez. It is the anger of those who suffer and have lost lives at those who do not protect their citizens.
The catwalk of public condolence no longer works; people are tired of rhetoric and nonsense. These kinds of tragedies now require other cultural, scientific and administrative models. From short-term to long-term prevention.
There are responsibilities, and the first are those who deny, minimize, and then delay and do not understand the danger. And then politics needs to invest in maintaining the environment; deaths in cars and parking lots cry out for vengeance. Only one thing seems to hear no reason, the economic and media machine of soccer.
The show must go on, but professional motorcycle riders have stopped. A sign, a hope that tragedies do not end in the perennial stream of social media and signs and images. Anesthesia and Oblivion of modern man.
