Spanish leader Teresa Ribera went viral after she pulled a fake bike ride to a climate conference held by the European Union, a move reminiscent of U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s 2021 bike stunt.

Video surfaced on social media on Tuesday from the EU 2023 ES conference held in Madrid, Spain, that showed Ribera riding a bike to the conference. However, now Ribera is facing a backlash after it was revealed as nothing but reportedly a PR stunt, TimesNowNews reported.

According to information provided to the outlet, Ribera reportedly took a private jet and chauffeured cars to the conference — which is supposedly focused on dealing with the effects of carbon dioxide emissions on the climate — before getting out of the vehicle around 328 feet from the event and riding a bike the remaining distance to the venue.

Ribera’s official title is the Minister of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge for Spain, the piece noted.

One Twitter user wrote, per the report, “Teresa Ribera’s thing about making you arrive by bicycle at a climate summit, traveling just a hundred meters, escorted by two armored gasoline cars is another of the images that perfectly define this government.”

Conservative host Charlie Kirk tweeted, “Spain’s ecological transition minister, Teresa Ribera, reportedly flew on a private jet to attend a climate conference, traveled in a gas powered motorcade and just before arriving, got out and rode a bicycle to the event, still flanked by two security cars. Pretty much sums up the climate cult in one scene.”

It clearly sums up the political climate in one scene.

They are liars, all.

[lee martell]

That sounds like AOC level behavior.
Remember her posing in her white pantsuit in front of a chainlink fence?
She was pretending to be “horrified” at the sight of minor children being held by ICE. Back when ICE was permitted to do their jobs.

Laz, we have finally found a woman for you.

The good news is, the bicycle is in like-new condition.

It was only ridden 328 feet.

How “Rosie Ruiz” of her.

[buwaya]

The center-right Partido Popular (PP) is favored to win the coming elections and will probably form a coalition with right-wing Vox.

Silliness like this should help that along.
