The political environment in Spain is currently charged with palpable tension, with society divided in its opinions on the recent re-election of Pedro Sánchez as president. This division is reflected in the streets, where protests and demonstrations have become a common phenomenon.
In this context, the figure of Samantha Hudson, an artist known for her rebellious spirit and activism, has acquired special relevance by using her influence to transmit a powerful message. During a concert, recorded and broadcast by the user lajotaroja on different social networks, Hudson has become a spokesperson for a diverse and plural Spain. "She is dedicated to those of us who are on the good side of history because Spain is not just one thing, honey," she says in the video.
Her speech constitutes a counterpoint to the dominant political narrative, underlining the importance of recognizing the multiplicity of identities and voices within the country: "What is more identitarian than thinking that Spain is one and not 51? Spain is the sissies, the lesbians, the trans, the non-binary, the poor, the precarious, the crazy, the disabled, Spain is the immigrants, the illegalized ones, Spain is fucking us."
Hudson concludes his speech with a call to action and solidarity with the people who fight every day to get ahead without resources: "And it is us. It is not Pedro Sánchez, it is not Yolanda Díaz. Long live the street policies. Long live the "squatters. Long live the mother who gave birth to us."
However, the singer's speech has also raised blisters. "She has named everything except the people who work, contribute, pay taxes, study, undertake...", commented a user on X, where Hudson's speech has also quickly gone viral.
Other users have regretted that Hudson had mentioned the squatters: "Everything was fine until long live the squatters." Furthermore, a user who has had to deal with a squatted house has shed some light on this situation: "I, a working person, who have a normal salary, have had squatters and I don't think that comment is good. You don't know what it means. "We owners who have or have had squatters suffer. Look, I like her, I applaud her many times, but not squatters, thank you."
