Vuelta ends

We heard the other day about Spain's problem with Jews. And now:

The Vuelta a España, Spain’s most important cycling race, was cancelled as it reached its climax on Sunday when thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators invaded the finish point in central Madrid during clashes with police.

Earlier Pedro Sánchez, the Spanish prime minister, said the protests which have taken place in every city through which the Vuelta has passed filled him with “pride”, as Spain’s relations with Israel reached a new low.

Vying with Ireland for the title of Europe's most antisemitic country. A mob, encouraged by the government, ruining the Vuelta for all the cyclists and cycling fans. Bravo.

Organisers decided they had no choice but to call off the grand finale as the capital was filled with Palestinian flag-waving demonstrators, some of whom broke through security cordons to occupy the capital’s landmark streets in order to prevent competitors from reaching the finish line.
