It is even possible that Pedro S\u00e1nchez will continue in power. <strong>Many Spaniards are naturally worried about what lies ahead.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As you know, I am not affiliated with any political party and <strong>one of the maxims of this blog is independence. But independence does not mean neutrality.<\/strong> I am not nor do I want to be neutral when practically all of the major media in Spain are clearly partisan and are committed to political options that are degrading our society. <strong>Counting Stars appeared in 2004, ten years before Vox<\/strong>, and from the very foundation of that party I have been supporting it, simply because Vox has been defending my ideas ever since it appeared.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I have always had a relationship of total freedom with that party. I do not owe Vox any favors<\/strong> (since this website is supported by my money and my work, without receiving or requesting subsidies or aid from any organization or company) and <strong>Vox owes me nothing<\/strong>, because I am not like certain communicators who lend a hand to a party and then pass the bill on it. <strong>If I have been supporting Vox, it is because I defended what I consider good and fair.<\/strong> I defended it and continues to defend it, and for this I feel tremendously grateful to the members of Vox.<\/p>\n<p>From that healthy relationship of freedom, <strong>Counting Stars has supported Vox when there was almost no media outlet to give it that support<\/strong>. This is how it has been in the desert journey that Vox has made for four years, until finally getting representation in 2018. <strong>Vox has been making news here when many other media outlets hid everything related to that party.<\/strong> If I did it like this, firstly, it is because I wanted to, and secondly because another of the characteristics of this blog is <strong>telling what others want to hide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As I have said many times, <strong>my support for Vox is conditional: I will continue to give it as long as Vox remains faithful to its principles<\/strong>. There is nothing that makes me think that Vox has betrayed those principles, so from my point of view, Vox having fewer seats does not change anything. So <strong>Counting Stars will continue to support Vox because it continues to be the last hope of many of us who defend Spain and Liberty<\/strong>, of those of us who defend life from conception, the family, freedom of education, linguistic freedom and other banners that the Popular Party has abandoned and betrayed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If another crossing of the desert arrives, Counting Stars will try to be like that little oasis in which to shelter<\/strong> in the midst of desolation, the same as I tried to be years ago, when Vox had no representation. <strong>Here it will continue to receive the encouragement it lacks in other media.<\/strong> Here it will continue to have a friendly voice in the midst of a media landscape full of hostile and insulting voices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I would like this website to have a larger audience so that I can counterpoint all the attacks, slander, hoaxes and lies<\/strong> that the media launches against Vox, but this is as far as I can get with the time and resources I have. <strong>As long as God gives me life and health, I will continue here<\/strong>, without renouncing my principles or changing them for the favor of any ruler. <strong>You are less comfortable outdoors but you enjoy much more freedom.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/es\/fotos\/D8R_txR_0PE\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Damian Denis<\/a>.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The results of the general elections in Spain draw a very difficult horizon for our Nation.<\/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":[19536,10689],"tags":[11462,7535],"class_list":["post-52506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-we-said-yesterday","category-logbook","tag-spain","tag-vox"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52506"}],"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=52506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52506\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
