Police control has expanded beyond the rightfully permissible, and penalties are being handed out for something as innocuous as carrying the Spanish flag on the streets. Up until May 23rd, we were seeing in shock that only friends and allies of the Government were being allowed to demonstrate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The political use of the state of alarm<\/strong> to push laws that reinforce the dominion of extreme left ideology over society.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The manipulation of information by a highly subsidized and controlled public and private media<\/strong>, and censorship of social networks with the ensuing criminalization of opponents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><big>What are we demanding?<\/big><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Immediate repeal of the state of alarm<\/strong>, while maintaining appropriate sanitary mesures of prevention as recommended by a reliable and transparent committee of experts whose members are all known to the public.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Immediate normalization of family, social and economic life<\/strong>, with special attention to risk groups.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Immediate payment of ERTES (temporary layoffs)<\/strong> and financial aids, as stipulated by law for the survival of small businesses and the economic security of the self-employed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The inmediate resignation of the entire cabinet of Pedro S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>, and a royal ordinance issued by H. M. the King, which appoints a new president by naming an independent personality who enjoys the support of all constitutional parties in the Spanish Parliament. We demand a new government, made up of technical experts and managers who are capable of coping with the health crisis and its terrible economic and social consequences. All of the above ought to be followed by<strong> a call for national elections one year later.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><big>An appeal to Spaniards<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Spaniards, <strong>our nation and our rule of law are being put in danger by a government that has demonstrated, time and again, its indifference to the grave damages that are being caused to our people.<\/strong> We are calling on all to demonstrate massively and peacefully, while respecting all health indications, in order to bring about the change we need in order to regain freedom and hope.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LONG LIVE SPAIN!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Signatories: <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Alfonso Uss\u00eda<\/strong>, journalist and writer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00c1ngel Fern\u00e1ndez<\/strong>, doctor in economics.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Antonio Caballos Rufino<\/strong>, professor of Ancient History (U. de Sevilla)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Antonio de la Hoz<\/strong>, economist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aquilino Duque<\/strong>, poet and writer, national prize for literature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Arnaud Imatz<\/strong>, Hispanist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carlos Bustelo Garc\u00eda del Real<\/strong>, economist and former minister.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carlos L\u00f3pez D\u00edaz<\/strong>, business advisor and writer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carlos Rodr\u00edguez Braun<\/strong>, writer and professor of History of Economic Thought (UCM).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carlos Ruiz Miguel<\/strong>, Professor of Constitutional Law (U. de Santiago de Compostela).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dalmacio Negro Pav\u00f3n<\/strong>, Professor of History of Ideas and Political Forms (UCM).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Elio Gallego Garc\u00eda<\/strong>, Professor of Theory and Philosophy of Law (U.
