One of the vice-presidents of the Socialist Government of Spain, Teresa Ribera, is the protagonist of a ridicule that went viral on social networks around the world. During her arrival at the European Summit of Environment and Energy Ministers held in Valladolid (Spain), the minister arrived at the meeting between European ministers by bicycle.
Gracias a todos los alcaldes y alcaldesas que apuestan por organizar la movilidad de su ciudad de forma distinta y saludable, favoreciendo espacios peatonales, bicis, transporte público...

However, a video shared by the Government of Spain itself revealed the minister's big deception. In the recording, an official motorcade accompanies the minister and records her bicycle ride. A ride of barely 100 meters, since Teresa Ribera had gone to the Summit in an official car and only rode the bike the last meters to her destination in order to film the video with which she theoretically wanted to make a plea in defense of the environment.
