PP vs Vox: the difference between repealing 'Sanchism' and repealing socialism in Spain

Yesterday the general election campaign in Spain ended and today we are in a day of reflection. And yes, it is time to reflect.

This Sunday, we Spaniards who are not ideologically blinded by the left are called to decide between two great options: the Popular Party and Vox. Some believe that they are similar, from the left they even want to convince us that they are the same, but it is not so. Just review some notable differences.

In the first place there is the policy of pacts. Feijóo has offered a pact to Pedro Sánchez so that he remains in power in the event that the PSOE has more seats than the PP, although the sum of the seats of the PP and Vox is an absolute majority. Vox has rejected any pact with the left, out of consistency with its proposals: it is incongruous to reject the policies of the left and at the same time offer it a pact so that it continues to govern.

Secondly, the PP wants a political change with the slogan "repeal sanchismo". As has happened on other occasions, the PP seems to suggest the idea that changing the initials of the government party will end all our problems. A review of his program reveals that intends to leave intact some of the most infamous ideological laws of the left, such as the abortion law, the law of euthanasia, the law that fines the defenders of life for reporting or praying in front of abortion centers, nor the latest socialist educational law that degrades our teaching and tramples on the freedom of education.

On the contrary, and as Santiago Abascal pointed out yesterday, Vox intends to repeal socialism, that is, to repeal the ideological laws of the left, laws that are degrading that violate our democracy, that infringe fundamental rights (starting with the right to life), that have served to reduce the sentences of hundreds of rapists and pedophiles, that are destroying the Spanish countryside, that prevent us from exploiting our natural resources for the sake of ecological fanaticism while making us dependent on other countries, and a long etcetera.

The difference between the PP and Vox is very easy to explain: the PP wants a change of acronym and Vox wants a change of direction. The PP is satisfied with changing those who govern but leaving the ideological project of the left intact, while only Vox aspires to put an end to socialism in Spain, because it is socialism that is ruining us, just as it is ruining some of our sister countries in Latin America. Of course, it is very legitimate to believe that the problems of Spain will be solved with a change of acronyms or of rulers and not of policies, but the PP has already ruled Spain alone for 15 years, leaving intact the ideological laws of the left, and thus facilitating the work of the socialists and communists every time the PP is evicted from power, because it is enough for them to resume their work of destruction where they left off.

Spain does not just need a change of acronyms and rulers. Above all, Spain needs a change of course, a change that will lead us to leave behind the nightmare of socialism, which has eroded our democracy and our freedoms, has damaged coexistence among Spaniards and has even committed the infamy of allying itself with communists, coup leaders and pro-ETA activists, allowing them to decide the course that a country they hate should take. This is my reflection. I hope that on July 24, many will not have to regret having opted only for a change of acronym, once again verifying that it will not be a change of course. You still have time to prevent that from happening, giving an opportunity to those who do opt for a different path, a path that gives us back so many good things that have been taken from us for years.
