Labor Union Mocks Holy Week Procession in Seville

Country: Spain

Date of incident: April 11, 2014


The Confederación General de Trabajadores (an anarchist worker’s union) held a procession in Seville in protest of the dismissal of several bus workers at the Damas Bus Company. The procession was also an amalgamation of other groups such as feminists who were protesting a reform of the abortion law. The procession was a mockery of a Holy Week procession and was called the “Blessed Rebellious Pussy (vulgar word for female genitals) Procession and the Holy Entombment of Socio-labor Rights.”

The group paraded from the local headquarters of their organisation to the Plaza de Armas bus station with a large plastic vagina as the Virgin and feminist posters as well as gay rainbow flags. Sources:
