Socialist Spanish minister arrives with private jet to a climate conference. Before arriving at the venue, she jumps out of her limousine and rides the last 100 meters on her bike for the media (with bodyguards in car behind her).

2. that’s a Hillary Clinton move if I ever saw one

3. Bold of you to expect ANY politician to not be a hypocrite.

   I mean the very definition of “politics” is the ability to bend the truth, manipulate information and promise anything, in order to obtain votes.

4. She’s missing only a big round red nose

5. She could have used an electric car and she would have been mildly noticed and scored a point. But noooo, she had to fake the whole thing.

   It’s not that our politicians are incompetent. It’s that they are incompetent even at posturing. How incompetent you have to be to be incompetent at posturing?

6. *champagne socialist 🥂

7. Symbolic at multiple levels

8. Fake news according to this article

9. Hypocrites

10. 🤡

11. Fake news, she was already in the city and traveled by car

12. >arrives with private jet to a climate conference

    Where’s the proof for that?

13. Politicians are basically liars. What’s up?

14. Spain, are you good?

15. This should be posted also on r/facepalm

16. Socialism to you, capitalism to me…

17. I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike 🚴 🎶

18. Hasn’t this been debunked ?

19. Why do people focus on private jets? Their emissions are meaningless.

20. If this isn’t true she should sue every stupid newspaper for defamation. But did any serious newspaper wrote about it or we are just passing unverified gossip?

21. Spaniard here, the jet part is fake news.

22. Do as I say, not as I do?

23. This is bogus and ridiculously so. Anyone would know that Valladolid is 57 minutes away by high speed train and even less in limo. So no, she did not take a plane – let alone a private jet – for a trip of 150km. One has to be quite gullible to publish this

24. Whether this story is true or not is irrelevant. What is most interesting is that most of us are totally convinced that our politicians are so stupid and/or hypocritical that we think it probably would be true.

    Nothing to do with Ribera, nothing to do with Spain, nothing to do with climate change – everything to do with our perception of politicians.

25. I hate those people. At least have the guts own up to your actions you disgusting cunt.

26. Fake news…

27. Fake news. Already debunked.

28. F I R E D

29. According to this article it’s fake news?

30. Is that what actually happened though? I assume she arrived by government jet which would be a key difference to being a private jet. And limousine can mean a few things I doubt it was a stretch hummer. I don’t really have a problem with a politician cycling 100 metres for a photo op at a climate conference it’s a bit like “turning the sod” to open a construction site. And given the number and nature of threats politicians get on an hourly basis these days I’d be surprised if a government minister didn’t have security close by at virtually all times.

    It’s not hypocritical to promote cycling even if you have security driving behind you.
