Holidaymakers have sparked outrage in Valencia, Spain, after being filmed allegedly simulating sex acts on the Monument to the Victims of Terrorism. The footage, shared on Instagram, has amassed over 104,000 views.
Incident Details
The group, believed to be Polish tourists, was reportedly singing a Polish song while climbing over the sculpture. In the video, several men pose on the monument before one appears to simulate a sex act on part of the memorial while others laugh and sing. One member is heard saying, "I think he has fallen in love with you."
Public Condemnation
Patxin, who shared the footage on July 14, questioned how the stunt would be viewed if tourists behaved similarly at a major memorial in Poland. The creator called for those involved to apologize. The footage was later shared by Valencia Viva Walks, which alleged the same group was seen urinating on trees in Plaza de la Reina.
The page noted increasing disrespect from visitors toward residents, monuments, and public spaces. Online reactions included comments like "What a lack of respect" and "This is seriously disgusting."
