Your family savings are being watched while Sánchez's family is privileged

Una característica básica de los países democráticos es que todos los ciudadanos están sometidos a la ley, incluidos los gobernantes.

A huge socialist robbery of Spain so that Pedro Sánchez can remain in power
The red anesthesia by which Spanish socialism does not collapse with political corruption

A totalitarian conception of the State and its consequences

This premise has not been the norm throughout human history. In fact, even today there are totalitarian regimes in which rulers enjoy total impunity, exercising their power without limits and without any kind of democratic checks and balances. This is what happens in socialist and communist dictatorships such as China, North Korea, Eritrea, Laos, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Vietnam. In these countries, for a citizen to demand that the political authorities act in accordance with the law is a reckless act that can land you in prison or even execution.

You didn't have to be very clever to see the risk Spain was running by placing its government in the hands of a coalition of socialists and communists, that is, defenders of the same ideologies that underpin the aforementioned dictatorships. Socialism and communism are characterized by conceiving the State as a power without limits, which has the duty to control all aspects of society, including the most trivial details of our private lives. That is why in Spain we are suffering an invasion of our fundamental rights by the coalition government of socialists and communists, with excuses such as security, equality, or the environment.

This process is parallel to an increasingly less concealed political corruption (scandals break out for which no one resigns, and instead of feeling ashamed of it, the government is dedicated to pointing fingers at those who investigate these cases, from journalists to judges, including the Civil Guard) and the granting of intolerable privileges to the government's partners. The most blatant of these privileges is the amnesty granted by Sánchez to those convicted of the separatist coup of October 1, 2017 in Catalonia, a measure that has no other reason than to obtain the support of the separatists for Sánchez's re-election and his retention in power.

The government's obsession with family savings...

Yesterday we learned two examples of this journey towards absolutism. First, the newspaper El Economista noted: "The Treasury will fine these taxpayers who share a bank account with their children". The news refers to the government's obsession with monitoring donations between parents and children "without formalizing a loan for it". One wonders if socialists and communists will also have the State monitor the allowances you give your children if you do so without filling out the corresponding declaration to explain to the State what you do with your money.

... while turning a blind eye to Sánchez's brother

It is the same State whose government breaks records for opacity and which, as reported yesterday by the digital newspaper Voz Pópuli, has decided to hide the investments of the Chinese communist dictatorship in Spain as "classified". It is the same State that overlooked the irregular contracts by the government during the pandemic, which became a source of corruption cases that are now being investigated by the Justice system. It is the same government that turned a blind eye to Sánchez's brother for collecting money from a Provincial Council in Spain for phantom work and paying taxes in Portugal.

The prosecution of the Attorney General for the crime of revealing secrets

But the privileges for those in power and their associates do not end with the fact that Spanish families are increasingly under the watchful eye of the Treasury (more than they were during Francisco Franco's dictatorship) while socialist "famiglias" and their partners enjoy impunity. Yesterday, in the last corner of the rule of law left in Spain - the Justice system, where brave judges resist the government's threats - the Supreme Court issued an indictment against the Attorney General of the State and the Provincial Prosecutor of Madrid for the crime of revealing secrets against Isabel Díaz Ayuso's boyfriend. The court order points out a fact that has made it clear who could have ordered the commission of this crime, indicating that it was committed "following instructions received from the Presidency of the Government."

This judicial decision suggests that the Prosecutor's Office, following orders from the government leadership, may have committed a crime as part of Sánchez's personal vendetta against a political rival whom the Socialist Party holds a particular grudge against. If this is confirmed (the evidence the media has been publishing supports this version), we would be facing yet another example of Spanish socialism's mafia-style practices.

Socialist and communist revolt against Justice

Faced with this, the Sánchez government has opted for its usual strategy: attacking judges because they are doing their duty, which is to judge potential criminal acts when there is evidence of them, regardless of who committed them. With its umpteenth attack on Justice, Spanish socialism is showing that it believes itself above the law, that it believes that the current rules bind all Spaniards except the government and its supporters, who believe they enjoy the privilege of deciding not to respect the law without suffering any consequences.

In a further display of absolutism, yesterday the communist Irene Montero stated that the prosecution of the Attorney General is an indication of a coup d'état, stating that there are "coup-plotting sectors making these absolutely anti-democratic decisions", as if prosecuting a prosecutor when there is evidence of a crime were an attack on democracy, when democracy precisely consists of no one being above the law, not even a prosecutor. In the end, what is left clear is that the Spanish left is as democratic as the "German Democratic Republic", the cynical name that the communists chose to disguise a totalitarian regime in which you were shot if you tried to flee. What the Spanish left likes is what exists in China, Cuba, or Venezuela, not the rule of law.
