This report is from January. Unfortunately, not much has moved on the ban front. The demonstrations are still sporadically ongoing, though.

Guys; you’ll make up the beer sales in food sales. :wink:

I know you’re joking and all, but food is basically a loss leader in German gastronomy. The money is indeed in the drinks.

Yeah, I don’t think it’s fair to use this homework gif, considering he’s not giving up out of laziness, but out of fear for his family’s safety

Citing exasperation with right-wing attacks on his family, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said he is taking time off to decide whether he wants to keep running the country.

Sánchez’s announcement came just hours after Spanish media reported that a judge had launched a probe focused on Begoña Gómez, the prime minister’s wife, who had been singled out in a legal complaint filed by an obscure organization with links to the far-right.

In his missive on X, the prime minister said he was fed up with attacks on his family, which has been targeted by Sánchez’s critics ever since he was elected leader of Spain’s Socialist Party in 2014.

As the country’s political scene has become more polarized, the attacks on his wife have become more intense. For several years right-wing pundits have publicly spread malicious rumors about Gómez, including one that alleged she is actually a man whose real name is Begoño, and that her family owns a network of sex clubs and is engaged in international drug smuggling operations.

Apparently we’re at the point again in Europe where far right thugs can topple governments with political violence (or the threat thereof)
