The editorial ended this way: <em>\"What even his harshest critics could not dispute was that <strong>Ch\u00e1vez genuinely cared about the poor. He had a big heart<\/strong>, and he will leave a big hole in the hearts of millions of poor and ordinary folk not only in Venezuela but elsewhere in Latin America, and beyond.\"<\/em> Well, he did care about the poor: <strong>during his tenure he sent millions of Venezuelans to the misery.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><big>The Guardian on Fidel Castro: \"History can absolve Castro\"<\/big><\/p>\n<p>In November 2016, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/commentisfree\/2016\/nov\/27\/the-guardian-view-on-fidel-castro-man-of-history\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Guardian once again displayed its brutal ideological bias by extolling Fidel Castro<\/a>, <strong>not calling him a dictator<\/strong> despite having spent decades in power in a single party regime and violating the most basic human rights. <em>\"Castro\u2019s passing sees the departure of <strong>one of the giants of the cold war era and a revolutionary guerilla leader<\/strong>\"<\/em>, the Guardian said in an infamous editorial. After mentioning his abuse, the British newspaper excused them by stating: <em><strong>But there also emerged a remarkable system of health care and education<\/strong>.\"<\/em> Franco also did it in Spain, but surely the British newspaper does not say the same about him because the Spanish dictator was not a communist. The editorial ended with these words: <em>\"<strong>it seems history may absolve Castro<\/strong>\"<\/em>. Not history: the left, which always tolerates all kinds of criminals for the mere fact of being leftists.<\/p>\n<p><big>A newspaper that exhibits blatant leftist sectarianism<\/big><\/p>\n<p>After extolling two dictators like Ch\u00e1vez and Castro, two criminals who brought Venezuela and Cuba to ruin, <strong>now The Guardian extols an autocrat like S\u00e1nchez, who has bankrupted the Spanish economy<\/strong>. For this, it is enough to approach the figure of the Spanish socialist leader with the same ideological sectarianism as the aforementioned tyrants. <strong>What matters to The Guardian about Ch\u00e1vez, Castro and S\u00e1nchez is not their authoritarianism or their condition as lousy rulers, but rather their leftist militancy.<\/strong> This is what leads them to praise real miserable people like those mentioned .<\/p>\n<p><strong>It is a compliment to Vox that a left-wing pamphlet like The Guardian sees a danger in this conservative party<\/strong>, which is openly democratic, defends its ideas through peaceful means and firmly rejects all forms of totalitarianism. <strong>After supporting two dictators and an autocrat like S\u00e1nchez, it is logical that The Guardian feels uncomfortable with the democrats of Vox.<\/strong> But unfortunately for that newspaper, those of us who have to decide who governs Spain are the Spanish, and not a British socialist newspaper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many Spaniards share an absurd complex that leads them to extol the opinion of a foreign newspaper without knowing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[19536,10720],"tags":[2095,160,2721,1777],"class_list":["post-51881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-we-said-yesterday","category-communication","tag-fidel-castro","tag-hugo-chavez","tag-pedro-sanchez-castejon","tag-the-guardian"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51881"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51881\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
