Peter, this is a question only to be answered by the person/s who did it. It is a long way along the road from the villages we all were born into, but the anonymity of city living gives a false bravado. In the larger scale of things, it is small, but still, it hurts.Últimas noticias sobre Santiago de Compostela. La Voz de Galicia

I know that we can't answer this question but some times I think where is this world going to.Peter, this is a question only to be answered by the person/s who did it.

When you listen to this kind off music you need a lang walk to come to yourself again .Die Antwoord and Iggy Pop are headlining
<shaking head in disgust> I hope it wasn't a Camino walker/pilgrim who had been tagging markers and structures along the way, who decided that this was just another bit of graffiti to add to his 'collection'.
Would someone mind translating for me? I know what the last word means so no need for that one...

The vandalism referring (presumably) to the rock group was an incident that happened last year. As far as I know, the perpetrator(s) were never caught.I managed to open the article, click to accept terms and conditions vox De Galicia and the whole article was in English. In a nutshell vandals have put obscene graffiti on the Obradeiro face of the Cathedral , related to the hard rock group Kiss.
Thank youThe vandalism referring (presumably) to the rock group was an incident that happened last year. As far as I know, the perpetrator(s) were never caught.
This time, on the facade of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela has appeared a series of graffiti directed against the Catholic church, the political party VOX and the Spanish monarchy.
There is no CCTV in the vicinity that records and stores images.
According to this ,one of the authors is a young girl who participated actively in the demostrations of past 8th in Santiago, doesn't know the Galician language so may be from outside Galicia and is a hard rock follower.well I don't want to give it more airplay than it deserves, but here goes: "I didn't come out of your rib - you came out of my [vulgar term for part of the female anatomy]"
Thank you for providing this background information, @jefferyonthecamino. I know that one shouldn't give any publicity to this sort of vandalism but publicity is of course exactly what is happening and what was intended. I mean, the vulgar slogan in front of the Cathedral was covered immediately with a large cloth but here we have the large photo at the top of the linked article in La Voz de Galicia, with two workers holding up the cloth so that the press can photograph the slogan - there's a videclip somewhere where you can see a number of news photographers taking pictures.the graffiti on the front of the cathedral voices feminist concerns about policies that legislate on women's reproductive rights, which is a major concern in Spain as the conservative party and their extreme right allies appear to be closer to winning the upcoming elections.
Nin sumisas nin devotas is Galician but it was in Coruña.Thank you for providing this background information, @jefferyonthecamino.

I could put the various slogans into context, except for Nin sumisas nin devotas but I know now where that one comes from, too.
Very sad. I had the impression, up to now, that religious and historic buildings along the Camino Frances had been respected and spared from these kind of vile acts.
don't you have an app that translate it into English I was able to.Right-click on the text and choose Language/Translate.
I’m challenged. How does one right click on a phone?Right-click on the text and choose Language/Translate.

Any "Sound of the Camino" music festival definitely needs...Thanks for the link - in more disturbing news, I see Die Antwoord and Iggy Pop are headlining at "The Sound of the Camino" music festival. Definitely not the "sound" I'd associate with the camino!!
the current graffiti has nothing to do with last summer's AC/DC stupidity.
this does not mean that the current graffiti is not stupid as well, and an act of vandalism.
however, i do not think the graffiti can be described as a 'hate crime'.
the graffiti on the front of the cathedral voices feminist concerns about policies that legislate on women's reproductive rights, which is a major concern in Spain as the conservative party and their extreme right allies appear to be closer to winning the upcoming elections.
that said, the graffiti is vandalism and does the feminist movement in Spain a disfavour
I cannot be angry at this woman. When I read the graffiti and knew what it said and how it applies to the issues of women in Spanish society, I could only feel sympathy for whoever did it. Nonetheless, I would be willing to give my money and my strength to remove it.the current graffiti has nothing to do with last summer's AC/DC stupidity.

Especially not with vulgarities.IMHO, NO graffiti is acceptable ANYWHERE at ANYTIME in a civilized society. There are other ways to get a message across without vandalizing Spain's cultural heritage.
Yes, at the end of the day, no matter what the argument, it is just plain a dumb thing to do.IMHO, NO graffiti is acceptable ANYWHERE at ANYTIME in a civilized society. There are other ways to get a message across without vandalizing Spain's cultural heritage.

It sure does. I was puzzled by the graffiti slogan about the Borbones mentioned in the news article. Of course I knew about Iñaki Urdangarin and Cristina and how strongly some people felt about the embezzlement and fraud. But I had not really registered what was going on concerning Valtònyc, just that he had fled the country and gone to Belgium last year. Now I even know a Spanish rap song about ladrones.I hate tagging but the graffiti around Spain does give an insight into the political issues of the area.
It gives insight into all sorts of political issues.the graffiti around Spain does give an insight into the political issues of the area.
