Valencia (Spain), Jun 10 (EFE).- Chef José Andrés organized on Wednesday with his World Central Kitchen NGO a food hand out in Valencia's Mestalla stadium, where he spoke to press about Spanish politics and the protests in the US.FOOTAGE OF JOSE ANDRES.SOUNDBITES OF JOSE ANDRES.Translations: "Feet on the ground, hands up and start and cover the people's basic needs. That's what all the politicians' mission should always be. Fewer speeches, which never lead to anything, and taking more action in resolving the problems people need resolving. If this was done, Spain would be a lot better off.""I think there comes a time in which we start seeing too much that the messages we keep getting from our politicians are very rarely about unity and action. They are messages of: look how bad you are and you are even worse. I think, that in these times, people want messages of empathy, of 'I don't have the same opinion as you, but let's find common ground. I think that when it comes to hunger, everyone should be on the same page. Should any Spaniard go hungry in times like these? If a party thinks otherwise (that people shouldn't be hungry), then they should have room in Spain, full stop.""You have a right not to be killed. I think there is racism in America (US), there's racism all around the world, there's racism in Spain. What's happened in the US is brutal, because many people have died at the hands of police. It doesn't mean all police officers are bad or that all protesters are bad. When you see fire and destruction and cameras are filming it looks like a war. I would say, that in general, people (protesters) have been really good in the US and that what happened the other day with President Trump getting rid of people with rubber balls and tear gas was totally unnecessary and I was there two hours earlier and people couldn't have been more peaceful, and for a leader to appear in front of a church with a bible, which he has never opened... people are going to study that for years."
