Spain, under socialism, is experiencing an alarming deterioration of its public services and democratic institutions.
The degradation of public services and democracy in Spain
Last fall, Pedro Sánchez took four days to send the Army to Valencia to rescue the victims of the October 29 riots, who had to endure a wave of looting and robbery due to the inaction of the socialist government. On April 28, Spain suffered a national blackout, the only one to occur so far in Europe, in which some areas went without power for more than 14 hours. Three weeks later, the government still has not explained the cause of the blackout.
Likewise, the Spanish rail network is experiencing increasing delays and problems, such as those that occurred on May 4, with thousands of passengers affected for hours. In terms of security, many Spaniards take up to 18 months to recover their properties if a squatter takes them, since the left has given every opportunity to those who illegally occupy other people's homes.
Waiting times of more than 8 months for civil court cases...
The case of the occupations is not an isolated one. Due to the lack of resources, the time limits for judicial proceedings in Spain have been getting longer and longer, exceeding 8 months in first instance courts for civil matters, and three months in criminal cases. To this must be added the effects of the socialist government's attacks on the rule of law and the privileges granted to its allies (first pardons and then an amnesty). A few days ago, a survey was released indicating that 89.9% of Spaniards believe that justice does not treat politicians and citizens equally.
... but censorship in record time at the request of the socialists
Yesterday we saw a new example of the degradation of Spanish democracy and the preferential treatment that socialist politicians receive. Yesterday, around 11:00 a.m. in the city of Madrid, the Hazte Oír association placed a banner on a building in front of Congress denouncing the corruption scandals of the socialists. The banner had all the legal permits, but they hadn't finished stretching it yet and National Police vans started to appear:
Todavía sin acabar de tensar la lona y ya han empezado a aparecer furgones de la Policía Nacional, gente del Congreso... ¡Y prensa!
Va a ser histórico. https://t.co/VUbcBQsZxM pic.twitter.com/cDGmY1IzYE

The PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) denounced the banner accusing Hazte Oír of "insults" and "slander" for calling a prime minister "corrupt" when his wife, brother, attorney general, and former deputy are charged with various crimes. If the complaint had been filed by any Spanish citizen, the procedure would have taken months. But in the Spain of Pedro Sánchez, a politician who prides himself on defending "equality," apparently, and paraphrasing George Orwell, the Socialists are more equal than the rest of the Spanish people.
At 9:22 p.m., Hazte Oír reported: "According to some sources, the PSOE is pressuring judges to remove the tarpaulin at night." Considering the attacks that the judges have been receiving from the PSOE and its affiliated media, we can now imagine what these possible pressures could have consisted of.
Finally, the PSOE obtained a court order in record time and the National Police and firefighters were sent in just a few hours to remove the tarpaulin, also closing access to the section of the street where it was located.
A deployment as if a fire or robbery had occurred
Emergency vehicles arrived with their sirens on, as if there had been a fire or a robbery, at around 10:50 p.m.:
🚨 Urgente: El Gobierno ha dado orden a polícia y bomberos de retirar la lona de Hazte Oír, que acaban de llegar. Vivimos en un Estado totalitario. Estamos gobernados por un tirano, déspota y corrupto. pic.twitter.com/osOfDXMtP9

People began to gather in front of the fences placed by the police, facing the unusual scene of a deployment of emergency services to censor a banner that denounced the corruption scandals of the socialists.
This deployment took place quickly, unlike what happened during the floods in Valencia, with more than 200 dead. This gives an idea of the true priorities of the socialists.
This Kafkaesque situation was completed with the deployment of two firefighters' ladder trucks to remove the tarpaulin. Vehicles purchased to rescue fire victims being used to exercise censorship in accordance with the wishes of a government increasingly hostile to freedom of expression.
"It's the first time in the history of Spain that firefighters have been forced to take down a tarp. Imagine passing a firefighter exam only to end up taking down a tarp because Sánchez doesn't like it," Hazte Oír said at 11:39 p.m. Spain is starting to look like Venezuela.
Los bomberos se encuentran ahora mismo guardando la lona que Sánchez NO quiere que veas y que tiene a todo el PSOE rabiando.
No pasa nada. Les va a salir el tiro por la culata. No saben la que han liado. Acaban de multiplicar esa lona por miles. pic.twitter.com/y9GRgLPHPi

“We're going to fill Spain with photos of Sánchez next to the word CORRUPT”
The firefighters finally removed the tarp after midnight. At 1:58 a.m., Ignacio Arsuaga, president of Hazte Oír, announced:
"We are already preparing a series of measures to denounce tonight's violation of freedom of expression.
Now that we know which message offends the boss the most (truths offend), we are going to fill Spain with photos of Sánchez next to the word CORRUPT."
In 2023, a banner attacking Ayuso's boyfriend was allowed
It should be remembered that in July 2023, before the last general elections, the far-left party Podemos placed a similar banner attacking the boyfriend of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, leader of the Popular Party and president of the Community of Madrid. Her boyfriend is not even a politician or a public figure, but the Electoral Board decided to keep that banner. Apparently, in Spain you can do this to the boyfriend of a PP leader, but not to a Socialist prime minister. This is how socialism understands "equality."
