Les Rambles de Barcelona

11/2016 - Barcelona

Please, reblog this in case you have followers in the area of Barcelona. A van has crashed in Las Ramblas (the most crowded place in Barcelona). It could be a terrorist act. 

Please reblog this recommendations of the Mossos d’Escuadra (our police) in Catalan and Spanish in case they don’t know a lot of English so they can know exactly and clearly what to do.

A tothom que es trobi a Barcelona en aquests moments. Aquestes són les recomanacions que els Mossos d’Escuadra han donat després de l’atropellament massiu de fa uns minuts a La Rambla.

-  Eviteu la zona de les Rambles per tal de no obstaculitzar les tasques dels serveis d’emergències.

- Eviteu els focus més grans de multituds i els llocs més turístics (Sagrada Família, Estació de Sants i voltants, i la zona de la Barceloneta principalment).

- No difongueu ni vídeos ni fotos de l’operatiu dels Mossos.

-------------------------------------------

A todos aquellos se encuentran en Barcelona en estos momentos. Estas son las recomendaciones de los Mossos d’Escuadra tras el atropello masivo de hace unos minutos en La Rambla.

- Evitad la zona de les Rambles para no obstaculizar las tareas de los servicios de emergencias.

- Evitad los focos más grandes de multitudes y los lugares más turísticos (Sagrada Família, Estació de Sants i alrededores, y la zona de la Barceloneta principalmente).

Font de Canaletes a les Rambles de Barcelona

Look, I’ve never wanted to make any post anyhwere near politics in this blog. But this is too much.

As always, many catalanophobic Spaniards are using the terrorist attack in Barcelona as an opportunity for “jokes”. And they’re not even new ones, they are just basically repeating the same they always say when a tragedy happens here, like when the GermanWings place crashed.

Here’s the translation of the tweets above:

I mean very well that you share the news about #Barcelona but those who died were Catalans not people there’s no need for alarm

This is what will end up happenning to all the catalans

Only one dead in #Barcelona? for god’s sake they could have finished them all they deserve that and more for doing what they shouldn’t

Couldn’t that moor have killed more catalufos [pejorative term for Catalan people]?

We have never lost humanity, we only put each one in their place, and Catalans hate Spain, come on this is karma

Driving license to all terrorist moors, only for the joy of seeing a dead catalan #barcelona

I think it’s terrible that there was only one dead in the attack in #Barcelona when they could have killed them all. Hala Madrid!

[Note: “Moor” is a very pejorative word in Spanish to refer to people from North Africa, especially those from Morocco]

This happens every single time. Plus add dozens of tweets calling our politicians ret*arded, sub-normals, and many other derrogatory names for addressing the citizens of Barcelona in their own language: the Catalan language (which these people called “infect dialect”, “fucking minoritary dialect”, “shameful language” and “dialect of shit”, among many others).

All the official statements have been released in the three languages: Catalan (the local language), Spanish (the language of the state), and English. If these people are complaining it’s not because they can’t understand our language, but because they are mad that they couldn’t eliminate it. And not to start with why referring to minoritary languages as dialect is very disrespectful.

To those posting about donating blood after the terrorist attack in Les Rambles in Barcelona!
