Spanish Minister Teresa Ribera has gone viral for biking to a climate summit —AFTER taking a jet and a limo most of the way there; she only biked the last 100 meters, according to reports.
Watch the PR stunt gone wrong above.
From The Daily Caller:
Ribera, the Minister for the Ecological Transition of Spain and member of the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party, drew backlash over a video of her arrival at the European Summit of Environment and Energy Ministers on an electric bike while escorted by a fossil fuel-powered convoy.
Officials from the conservative Partido Popular mocked the minister. “To go to the meeting on her bike, she went with an official car in front of her and another behind her, creating double the emissions, so people would take photos of her,” Pons Gonzalez tweeted. “How ridiculous, minister. Aren’t you embarrassed?”
One of the best examples of hypocrisy you can seehttps://t.co/R9hAw8dzS4
