The desperate PSOE redefines nazism to cover up its corruption scandals

Socialism is going through its worst political crisis since its political corruption and state terrorism scandals in the 1990s.

Pedro Sánchez and democracy: he prevents Spaniards from voting so they don't vote badly
Pedro Sánchez feigns ignorance to avoid resigning over PSOE corruption cases

Corruption is once again hitting the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) hard and, following its tradition, it is resorting to anything goes to try to cover it up. Yesterday, at a press conference held in the Lower House, the PSOE's Secretary of Federal Policy and spokesperson for the socialist group in Congress Patxi López called journalist Vito Quiles a "Nazi" for asking him about the Santos Cerdán scandal, the recently resigned PSOE's secretary of organization.

Truth be told, Vito Quiles is as much of a nazi as Patxi López. That journalist has never defended National Socialist ideology. What's more, unlike the PSOE, Vito Quiles has not made any statements that could be classified as anti-Semitism, a hate speech that is the hallmark of the Sánchez government, which has done such infamous things as authorizing a march by an anti-Semitic terrorist group in Madrid in January 2024, march attended by a minister from that government. A minister who, in addition, is part of a party sister to that anti-Semitic terrorist group.

To all this we can add another fact: four years ago, the PSOE and its far-left allies voted against the European Parliament's condemnation of the crimes of nazism and communism. In case anyone is curious to know who voted against, the list can be read here (see PDF). Among the deputies who voted against, with number 1401, is Patxi López Álvarez, the same one who yesterday called Vito Quiles a "nazi".

What López did yesterday is a desperate attempt to cover up socialist corruption by attacking those who ask about it, yet another example of the lack of scruples of a party that is leading a hunt against judges and journalists for the mere fact of investigating these scandals. But beyond that and an attack on the right to honor that deserves a lawsuit, the words of the socialist spokesman are an attempt to redefine Nazism so that socialist corruption is not discussed, so that those who ask uncomfortable questions about it feel intimidated and remain silent.

So, if we trust the new socialist slogan manual, a Nazi is no longer someone who promotes anti-Semitism, nor those who authorize an anti-Semitic terrorist group to march with impunity in one of Europe's major cities, nor those who vote against a European condemnation of the crimes of nazism, nor those who govern with the support of the most anti-Semitic parties in the Spanish parliamentary arc, nor those who attack judicial independence and freedom of the press in an attempt to control all the powers of the State and ensure that their corruption goes unpunished. None of that. Now a "nazi" is someone who asks uncomfortable questions about socialist corruption. Of course, the PSOE has lost more than just shame, and in the face of that, we Spaniards should lose all fear of standing up to this band of evildoers.
