That's pretty much classic RMS.
Well, at least he just has some blood pressure that needs tending to.
Even though I mostly disagree with the man's politics, I must say that it takes a smart prick to make a contextually accurate and funny joke in a foreign language at an indecisive moment like that.

Glad he's okay. Let's hope the hospital doesn't offer him breakfast.

#14Hi, I am from Barcelona, and I was there. Stallman is a great man. I dont know what happened at the end, but when we were in the talk the organizers told us that the talk is suspended because Stallman was not well. The medical service arrive 20 minutes after Stallman ask for attention. This delay was used by him to say: "Son los recortes, Rajoy nos quiere matar a todos", meaning: The delay is because of the cuts in t…
Wow, if only he were in the United States where you don't have to rely on the Government for medical care...

Yes, but in US you have to have a lot of money for receiving a very basic and fundamental human right: medical care...
Re: Richard Stallman Collapses At Barcelona Conference
#18Shit. I hope he's okay, it's difficult to tell what happened through the lens of Google Translate. Anyone have more information?
My Spanish is rusty, but the article says that:
- Stallman felt ill halfway through a lecture he was offering in Barcelona, probably due to a blood pressure spike;
- he asked the staff for medical assistance;
- meanwhile, he continued the lecture with some difficulty, but in a good mood;
- the lecture was suspended when the ambulance arrived, and was eventually cancelled;
- after being attended by the medical staff, he was well enough to walk out of the building;
- no further details on his health.

#19I just wanted to add that at no point does the article mentions that he collapsed. Looks like he suffered an increase in blood pressure and decided to call it of. A doctor was contacted and he was able to walk away by his own means.

I came here expecting a troll :) in Europe you don't have to rely on Government for health care: you have an array of options in the private sector, which are usually much better (in my experience) than the US private hospitals since they have to compete with a free and good-enough option.
Most of the population prefer to use the free, government subsidized health system though.
