A violent death is always a terrible thing, but it is especially so when we are talking about the death of a child.
This Wednesday, the news of the suicide of a 14-year-old girl in Seville, who threw herself into the void from her home after arriving home from school. The girl was being bullied by other girls but the school took no action. This topic has particularly angered me for many years, because I have experienced bullying firsthand and I know how difficult it is to find myself in that situation.
I have friends who work in education, and from what they tell me, unfortunately, these types of situations are common. Some politicians and media outlets devote a lot of effort to denouncing real or imagined discrimination, but real cases of bullying suffered by minors still don't receive the attention they deserve from society. Generally, only those who suffer from the problem focus on it, and all too often it comes too late, when a minor has already decided to take their own life because they can't stand the bullying anymore.
I sincerely hope that justice will act in this case both against the girls who committed this harassment and against the school that failed to act, because the former are responsible for their classmate's tragic end through their actions, and the school is responsible through their inaction. However, I believe that the responsibilities do not end there.
For years, we have been witnessing situations of politically motivated harassment in Spain, very often originating from the left and encouraged by the political powers themselves. A month ago, we saw the government encouraging violent harassment against a sports event simply because there was a cycling team named after Israel. Four years ago, that same government justified stone-throwing attacks against political rivals, including opposition deputies, accusing those attacked of "provoking": the famous miniskirt argument used by many rapists.
Just yesterday, a journalist critical of the left was violently harassed in Barcelona by far-left thugs who wanted to prevent him from giving a lecture. Some media outlets have criminalized the harassed man by calling him an "ultra agitator" and "far-right agitator," a slogan that has been spread by outlets such as El País, El Periódico, Público, La Sexta, La Vanguardia and Huffpost, all of them ideologically aligned with the left, media that have not made even the slightest criticism of the harassers.
So, the message that many children and young people receive from certain politicians and media is that bullying is justified for ideological reasons, based on the premise that those who are bullied are the bad ones and therefore violence against them is blatantly whitewashed. Are the politicians and journalists who whitewash and encourage bullying for political reasons now going to tell us that bullying is wrong?
The message that this increasingly extremist left is sending to young people is that bullying is a legitimate means to achieve certain goals. They are instructing young people to resort to violence against others and then pretending to be shocked by the result. This is how we could summarize the situation created in Spain by a psychopathic and incendiary left, an extremist left that has no qualms about disrupting our coexistence for political gain, regardless of the dangerous message it sends to children and young people.
