It was a hot night in Spain.

Thousands of radicals have taken to the streets of Spanish cities after Catalan rapper Pablo Hasél was sentenced to nine months in prison for insulting the king and the police in his tweets and song lyrics. But there's something else in this story that's more important to us here in Ukraine...

Hasél had been performing across Spain in support of the so-called "DPR" and "LPR" – Russian proxy entities in Donbas – and sending the funds raised from his gigs to these pro-Russian terrorist groups. So it turns out he's among sponsors of Russian invasion in Ukraine. And now, almost all Russian propaganda puppets, including Alexander Kots, Semyon Pegov, and Zakhar Prilepin (the trio at the forefront of infowar operations by the Russian GRU military intelligence – the agency that played a crucial part in destabilizing Catalonia), as well as the platform affiliated with a fringe Russia-sponsored Ukrainian blogger Anatoly Shariy – they all support the defiant Catalan rapper.

The Spanish authorities had been turning a blind eye to Hasél's efforts to raise money to sponsor the killing of Ukrainians, but as soon as he insulted the king, he's got locked up. It's too late though, as thousands of radicals rallying around the artist they deem a martyr are already setting streets on fire. That's what happens when you choose not to notice the lingering destructive action of the Kremlin puppet on you own soil. https://medium.com/@zloyodessit2.0/it-was-a-hot-night-in-spain-5fe31b79da7b
