Hazteoir - ‘HO’ to their friends

Hazteoir is a Spanish political movement which basically exists only as a right-wing pressure website. It’s full of petitions which urge the government to do things like ‘Protect the rights of pregnant women’ (i.e. ‘ban abortion’). They apparently turn up at some political events, and have their own banner which proudly proclaims ‘HO’! - Obviously not a logo invented by anyone with a passing knowledge of rap music culture.

Thanks to Graeme at South of Watford for the link.

Simbolos y Senyals

Welcome to a new blog from Tom Clarke (thebadrash.com) which is all about the political posters, stickers and graffiti found in Spanish towns and cities. The idea behind the site is to become a repository for electoral and non-electoral campaign material used at all levels, from major political parties to fringe or special interest groups.

As I live in Cerdanyola del Vallès, a suburb of Barcelona, many of the examples I find will be of a particularly local and/or Catalan significance. That’s why I ask anyone who stumbles upon this site and finds it interesting, to send in your pictures (or better still, actual material), so that we can make this collection as complete and varied as possible.
