"For days now, advertisements for the Festival of Hope featuring American preacher Franklin Graham have been appearing on Madrid's Municipal Transportation Company (EMT) buses. The posters, which cover the sides of the vehicles, include a direct invitation: Share the love of Jesus Christ with people from all over Madrid."
"In a video released by the Qatari news network Al Jazeera, Franklin Graham can be seen praying a few weeks ago at the White House alongside U.S. President Donald Trump. During the prayer, Graham made references to Iran and Jewish communities, including the following statement: Father, you tell us in the book of Esther that the Persians, the Iranians, were wanting to kill every Jew."
"According to the company, the Festival of Hope campaign has been contracted and paid for by the advertiser and will be displayed on 12 buses across 12 different lines, in a full-coverage rear format, with a display period from May 4 to May 31 of this year."
Franklin Graham, son of televangelist Billy Graham, is promoting the Festival of Hope through advertisements on Madrid's public buses. The campaign features posters inviting residents to share the love of Jesus Christ, with the event scheduled for May 30-31 at Vistalegre Palace. Graham, known for his direct political fundamentalism, recently appeared in a video praying with President Trump at the White House, making references to Iran and Jewish communities. The EMT awarded the advertising contract through public tender, displaying the campaign on 12 buses across different lines from May 4-31. This reflects a growing phenomenon of religious messaging appearing in public spaces.
