The display was put on by students at the college Elías Ahuja on Sunday.
In the video, the students chant in Spanish, “Who*es, come out of your
burrows like rabbits, you’re f—ing nymphomaniacs. I promise you’ll all f— in the
bullfight! Go Ahuja!”
Rita Maestre, the spokesperson for Más Madrid, a progressive party, shared the
video on Twitter. In Spanish, she condemned the students’ behaviour, writing,
“Then they will wonder why we are afraid of the street.”
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez also commented on the display and
said the country needed to send a “united and common message of rejection
of these machista behaviours which are unexplainable, unjustifiable and
absolutely repugnant.”
Spanish news outlet El Público reported this is not the first time that students
at Elías Ahuja have staged such an event. It said the chant is treated as a
tradition at the beginning of the school year. The outlet also alleged students
in the past have been filmed singing songs while using Nazi salutes.
Gender equality and anti-rape legislation has been at the centre of
nationwide conversation in Spain for several years now.
In August, the Spanish government passed a long-awaited law, known as the
“only yes means yes” bill, which ensures any sex that takes place without
clear consent can now be prosecuted as rape. Prior to this law, for a crime to
be considered rape, violence and coercion needed to occur.
