Last day of posters in the election campaign

Spain is different. The day before each election here is designated a ‘day of reflection’, during which all campaigning is banned. Campaign posters should be removed tomorrow but based on previous experience, some of them will be up for months.

By the way: SyS does not end with this election campaign. If you live in Spain, you’ll already know that many streams of political dialogue are carried out in the streets and on the walls of our towns. SyS will go on and I’ll be adding more content in Spanish and Catalan (who knows, maybe Gallego and Basque too), to encourage non-English-speaking citizens to take part too. Also, I’m working on a post about stickers and their use in political campaigns.

Anyway, here are a few pics from this afternoon in Cerdanyola.
