西班牙市长成罗宾汉 带头抢超市劫富济贫  

A left-wing mayor of a small town in Andalusia has bee a modern-day Robin Hood
anizing robbing raids on local supermarkets to feed the poor of his munity.
Juan Manuel Sanchez Gordillo has
over the past week
led several raids on supermarkets around the town of Marinaleda
near Seville in southern Spain
arguing that "someone has to do something so that families can eat."
Sanchez
53
a man with a bushy gray beard who has been mayor for 33 years and a member for the regional parliament of Andalusia for the United Left party (IU)
did not take part in the raids themselves but stood outside the supermarkets directing his "rades" over a megaphone.
现年53岁的桑切斯蓄着一脸浓密的花白胡子，他已经做了33年的市长，是联合左翼党安达卢西亚地区议会的议员。不过，他本人并未直接参与抢劫，而是站在超市外面，通过扩音器指挥他的"同志们"。
At one Carrefour supermarket on Tuesday around a dozen carts were filled with staples such as milk
sugar
oil
pasta
before being wheeled through the checkout without payment.
Another similar looting
at a Mercadona in the neighboring town of Ecija occurred later the same day and Sanchez vowed the raids would continue.
"There are people who simply don't have enough to eat
" explained Sanchez
describing the raids as a symbolic and peaceful reaction to the government's handling of the economic crisis.
"We've decided to expropriate basic foodstuffs and give them to the soup kitchens
which are struggling to provide for everyone because demand has increased."
The major political parties have condemned the raids
which e at a time when Spain is grappling with deep austerity cuts and a nationwide unemployment of nearly 25 percent.
In the Andalusia region
where the collapse of the construction industry has hit particularly hard
the unemployment rate has soared to nearly 34 percent.
Five people have been arrested for taking part in the raids but police have not arrested Sanchez because of his position as regional MP. Instead
he has been asked to give a statement in front of an investigating magistrate.
Sanchez's actions have led him to be dubbed in the nation's press as "the Robin Hood of Spain" and "the revolutionary of Andalusia."
Marinaleda
a town of 3
000 residents run by Sanchez since 1979
has attracted people from across Spain to join its farming cooperative and municipal housing program.
