Echoes of the controversy of the puppeteers of Madrid have reached the city in the form of vandalism. This morning the sculpture of the dove located in the Plaza de Pontevedra woke up with the painted "Gora Alka Eta" on one of its sides. That legend appeared on the banner worn by the puppets of the controversial Carnival performance in Madrid, which ended with two of the company members imprisoned. The monument in the square that honors Pablo Ruiz Picasso was already a target of the vandals in the past. In addition to this sculpture, other parts of the city have been the object of similar attacks.
