Attacking political representatives elected at the polls is something very serious in a democracy, but <strong>S\u00e1nchez has not condemned any of these attacks<\/strong>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2023\/04\/25\/el-psoe-miente-sobre-la-violencia-politica-se-ha-negado-a-condenar-agresiones-contra-vox\/\">the PSOE has even refused to condemn violence against Vox in various institutions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><big>Two S\u00e1nchez ministers even justified attacks against Vox<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Let us also remember that the communist partners in the S\u00e1nchez government, <strong>Podemos<\/strong>, not only have not condemned these attacks but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2021\/04\/07\/podemos-justifica-sin-rodeos-las-agresiones-contra-vox-en-vallecas-han-ido-a-provocar\/\">two ministers even justified the throwing stones against Vox in Vallecas<\/a>. <strong>Spain is the only country in Europe in which members of the government justify attacks on their political rivals<\/strong>, in addition to refusing to condemn them.
