SPAIN AND THE STORMING OF THE US CAPITOL BY TRUMP SUPPORTERS

Yesterday, 6 January 2021, the world looked on, appalled, as news channels covered live the storming of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters.

@sanchezcastejon
I am following with concern the news that are coming from Capitol Hill in Washington. I trust in the strength of America’s democracy.
The new Presidency of @JoeBiden will overcome this time of tension, uniting the American people.
