FULL TITLE: Left-wing mayor of Madrid plans to rename Plaza currently dedicated to Margaret Thatcher after Socialist gay rights activist
Spain's Left-wing Mayor has said she is planning to rename a Plaza currently dedicated to Margaret Thatcher after a former Socialist Party leader and gay rights activist.
Manuela Carmena, who took over from Madrid's former conservative mayor in May, said Thatcher's name was inappropriate because she was 'the Iron Lady who enslaved the workers'.
Her announcement comes just ten months after Mark Thatcher was invited to the Spanish capital to name the plaza after his mother and the former British Prime Minister.

Communists worship sodomy (until they have no use for them).
I’d think they would have avoided naming anything after her until they got Gibraltar back...
BTW, wasn’t Mark Thatcher the one arrested in Africa trying to overthrow the government of Equatorial Guinea in a coup?
Spain down the drain.
Like the Scripture says .... Satan, walkin’ to and fro upon the face of the earth ....
You cannot live with liberals. They must be exterminated like other vermin.
In more substantive matters, however, I have confidence in the good sense of the Spanish. Great economic improvements were evident recently compared to my visit just three years ago. Nobody wants to blow it.
Someone needs to loan him a dictionary to look up the word slave...
Wife and I have been to Spain twice - 2011 and 2012. Loved it both times. Peaceful both times. In 2012, witnessed small marches (can’t even call them demonstrations) mostly around education.
Students wanted tuition money in Burgos. Barcelona had a Catalonia independence gathering; some shouting there. Teachers in Madrid marched on the Gran Via for pay raises; that was the largest march. It was over in two hours.
The Spanish take great pride in their country, its heritage and its history. They’ll come through this just fine.
I suspect part of this is due to the anti British sentiment among the Spanish people - at least in part. Madrid is in sorry shape with the socialist mayor
I just returned from two months hiking through northern Spain. Very impressed by the Spanish work ethic. Also the kindness and thoughtfulness they showed to strangers.
Manuela Carmena, who took over from Madrid's former conservative mayor in May, said Thatcher's name was inappropriate because she was 'the Iron Lady who enslaved the workers'.That's that higher edge-a-ma-cation kickin' in.
That’s Putin’s pattern.
