Dead and fictitious people in the manifesto of 'journalists' in support of Pedro Sánchez

Pedro Sánchez's victimist letter announcing his possible resignation has led the Spanish left to mobilize in his support.

The real reason for Sánchez's victimizing letter using his wife as an excuse

This Friday, Spanish pro-government media announced a manifesto by thousands of "journalists" in support of Pedro Sánchez and attributing to the "judicial and media coup" the fact that a court has opened proceedings against his wife, as if Sánchez and his spouse were above the law. Yesterday, the influential American agency AP echoed that manifesto, ensuring that it is signed by "several thousand journalists and writers."

The manifesto was linked by the socialist media outlet El Plural this Friday. In the first paragraph of the news there was the link to the list of signatories (an automatic copy can be seen here). As @Garcio72 has rightly pointed out, the adhesions to that manifesto are including without any type of verification and that has led to names that are not journalists appearing among the signatures, including names of dead and fictitious people.

For example, in the list of signatures there appear senior officials from the Francisco Franco regime, who have slipped in without the authors of the manifesto seeming to know them. On the list we can see the names of Admiral Luis Carrero Blanco (murdered by ETA in 1973) and José Antonio Girón de Velasco (who died in 1995 and whose name appears with all the uppercase letters in the signature list). The name of General Emilio Mola Vidal, who died in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War, also appears.

Among the names of dead people that appear on the list of signatories is nazi war criminal Karl Adolf Eichmann (one of the organizers of the Holocaust and who was executed in Israel in 1962) and Jeffrey Edward Epstein, who died in 2019 in prison in the United States after being convicted of promoting prostitution to minors. Alfredo Hassan Pérez Rubalcaba also appears twice on the list, a reference to Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, leader of the PSOE who died in 2019.

Clearly invented names also appear on the list, such as Minabo de Kiev Txapote, Sanchez Culo Roto, Mina Bogordo, Agar Ramel Rabo and Begoña "Begoño" Santxez.

The most curious thing is that, in addition to dead and deceased people, and apart from including the names of PSOE officials who are not journalists, Pedro Sánchez Pérez-Castejón also appears on the list, the name of the president of the government in whose support this manifesto has been made. The Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo also appears, who most likely did not personally sign that manifesto. That is, people's names are being added without their consent.
