Com era d'esperar, els internautes no van perdre el temps, i els hashtags #espírituaventurero i #NoNosVamosNosEchan van recollir centenars de comentaris al cap de poques hores d'haver-se fet públiques les declaracions.
As would be expected, the Twittersphere wasted little time in responding, with hashtags like #espírituaventurero ("spirit of adventure") and #NoNosVamosNosEchan ("We're not leaving; they're throwing us out") receiving hundreds of comments, mere hours after the statements came to light.
