The Civil Guard denies the government's hoax about the Paiporta protest

Pedro Sánchez's cowardly flight last Sunday in Paiporta, abandoning the King in the face of a neighbourhood protest, gave rise to a hoax.

Following the poor national and international image that Sanchez gave with his cowardice, the government tried to distract public opinion by inventing that the extreme right was behind the protest. The leftist media (the government's synchronized opinion team) reproduced the slogan with their usual obedience, trying to put the focus on the protesting neighbors to remove it from Sánchez's cowardice and his poor handling of the cold snap catastrophe.

To feed this hoax, the government sent an anti-terrorist unit of the Civil Guard to the area, something that has caused a logical discomfort in that body, since it sees how resources are wasted to investigate a protest against Sánchez after having delayed the deployment of the Army and the Security Forces in the affected area, a delay that not only left thousands of affected people alone without electricity or running water, but which also gave free rein to looters.

Finally, the Civil Guard's Information Service has not found any far-right activists among those arrested or among the other protagonists of that protest, according to Abc today. This newspaper points out: "Those arrested so far are people from the area who were working as volunteers in Paiporta."

Thus, the Civil Guard denies yet another government hoax, the latest (for now) in a long list of hoaxes and lies that Sánchez and his ministers have been spreading since they came to power. Let us remember that Sánchez attributed the legal case against his wife to a "sludge machine". In reality, the sludge machine is his own government, which is constantly spreading hoaxes to try to cover up its mismanagement, its corruption scandals and its aberrant priorities when it comes to governing.
