The Pablo Iglesias Tavern asks to encourage Spain with ‘La Pasionaria’ and the republican flag… with the monarchical shield
The Garibaldi Tavern, property of Pablo Iglesiasencourages its clients to watch Spain’s match against Belgium in the World Cup quarterfinals at its premises and does so with a mess in its image. In addition to place Dolores Ibárruri, The Passionflower, as the main photo, they put the republican flag to represent Spain… with the monarchical shield.
Using artificial intelligence has its risks and Pablo Iglesias has not even realized what they publish. To encourage your followers to watch the Spain – Belgium of the World Cup At the Garibaldi Tavern, they have shared a poster in which they put a large message: “La Roja plays in the Garibaldi”. They accompany it with a photo of ‘La Pasionaria’, to emphasize “la Roja”, which is how the Spanish National Team is also known.

In addition to that detail, the problem for Pablo Iglesias and his Tavern is that They have placed the republican flag in Spain… with the monarchical shield. While Belgium has its current flag, Spain has one that neither exists nor ever existed, since they mix the republican colors with the shield of the current flag, which is the one that corresponds to the monarchy.
That’s how it is another skid of the extreme left in their attempt to politicize football. For years now they have used the Spanish National Team as they please and only encourage it if they have something to gain from it politically. For example, a few days ago, Ione Belarra, leader of Podemos, even said that she liked “Lamine Yamal’s Spain much more than the one pointed out by PP and Vox”, a speech very similar to that made in some programs of the Sanchista TVE.
