In July 2023, the media and Telegram channels distributed information about the hypocritical act of the Spanish official. We checked whether it was really so.
As reported, the Minister of Environmental Transformations and Demographic Problems of Spain Teres Ribera flew to the environmental protection summit in Wallenadolid on a private plane, and then moved to a bicycle (in separate publications - at first for the limousine) and came to the place with an escort of two cars, nevertheless, on benzine. Such behavior in the media was submitted as a self -patient, behind which is hidden indifference to the problems of ecology. The news was accompanied by shots of the bicycle trip of Ribera.
Among the Russian -speaking resources who told about this case, the TV channel "Tsargrad" Eurasia Daily, "Komsomolskaya Truth" SVTV Newsas well as numerous Telegram channels, in particular "KB"(252,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Solovyov"(227 000),"The first folk"(158 000),"Zlaya Prof"(151 000),"Pool N3"(144 000),"Ostashko! Important"(120 000),"From the scene"(92 000) and"Rhymes and Panchi"(78 000). Wrote about this and in Europe.
On July 10–11, an informal meeting Ecology ministers from all EU countries. Among the topics discussed were biodiversity, pollution of the ocean with plastic and the fight against climate change due to anthropogenic factors. The ministers gathered in Spain, since now this country presides in the European Union.
Already on the morning of July 10, in the official account of the Ministry of Environmental Transformations and Demographic Problems of Spain appeared tweet With a photograph, which depicts the head of the department of Teres Ribera, traveling on a bicycle via Valadolid. Apparently, the official decided to show with her example that if possible should refuse transport on internal combustion engines and then, when possible, transfer to safe For climate, a bicycle. A trip fell into lenses video cameras.
The same morning it became It is knownthat Ribera, part-time, the third deputy prime minister of the country's government, called the “barbaric” environmental program of the VOX extreme right party. Very soon, extraordinary parliamentary elections will be held in Spain - the now -ruling socialist party (Ribera consists in it) polls It takes second place, and the opposition VOX is the third. The latter is also included in the ruling Coalition In the autonomous community of Castile and Leon, where the summit was held. Therefore, it is not surprising that one of those people thanks to whom the scandalous message about Riber scattered over the network at the same time, July 10, was the vice-president of the region of Castille and Leon, the leader of the local branch of VOX, Juan Garcia-Galyardo. He Placed On his twitter, a link to the minister’s statement and accompanied her with a comment: “She flies to Falcon from Madrid to ride a bicycle in Walleadolide, and at the same time allows himself to teach us the concern about the environment.”
Under Falcon, Garcia-Gallardo had in mind one of the five small-sized aircraft of the Falcon D900 model, which Used members of the Government of Spain on trips around the country and abroad. Apparently, the Spanish politician relied on the scattered a little earlier tweet with screenshots of the route of the aircraft of this model from Madrid to Valadolid, as well as calculations carbon tracewho left this board. Also in many popular tweets It was notedthat Ribera moved to the bicycle only at the last hundred meters of her path from the airport, and before that she rode on a non -ecological limousine.
However, time to take a closer look at the facts. The screenshot with the map of the Falcon D900 aircraft contributing to the scandal is taken from the Falcondespega.es website. There, in order to increase transparency, data on all flights of the sides of the group 45 of the Spanish Air Force serving the government of the country. The only flight heading from Madrid to Valadolid July 10, Designated As a military man, and the time of his arrival is 11:38 local time.
At the same time tweet With a photograph of Teresa, Ribera on a bicycle was published by the employees of its ministry at 10:37, that is, even before the aforementioned Falcon. In addition, the performance of Ribera was Assigned At 10 a.m., that is, in all likelihood, the photo was taken earlier.
If we compare the data of two sequential flights of the same D900 with the board number of Lince03 on Falcondespega.es, it turns out that he Landed at 11:38:36, and 10 sec. After already He flew out back to Madrid. In practice, this is impossible, and there was simply no landing, as can be seen from the flight path over the airport.
Walking a little over the airport of Wallenadolid, the plane headed back to Madrid, which confirm the data of the FlightAware site, fixed Both segments of the route as a single flight. As the Spanish portal was informed Newtral Sources in the Air Force communications department, this plane without passengers performed maneuvers in the area of Villanubla Airport (Wallyadolid) on the morning of July 10.
The point in this matter was set by the same account of the Ministry of Environmental Problems and Demographic Transformations of Spain on Twitter, where on the evening of July 10 appeared statement: “The ministry refutes misinformation, maliciously distributed by government officials. Vice Prime Minister Teres Ribera did not fly to Wellyadolid from Madrid with an airplane-neither a commercial nor a government flight. Please be responsible for the information distributed. ”
As for how exactly Ribera reached Valadolid, our colleagues from Newtral in her department reported that the official arrived in the city on the eve of July 9, by car. A similar answer was received by other facts, from the project Maldita. True, at first the train was mentioned in the ministry, but then they specified that specifically Ribera, unlike the rest of the delegation, was driving on a hybrid car.
Thus, the information that Teres Ribera, before transferring to the bicycle, got to Valadolid on such Non -ecological Transport, as an airplane, turned out to be false. At the same time, the decision to defiantly use the bicycle after a trip by car put the Spanish official in an uncomfortable position.
