Today marks the anniversary of the start of the German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which caused the outbreak of World War II..<\/p>\n
The effects of appeasing totalitarians<\/big><\/p>\n 84 years have passed since the beginning of that invasion and unfortunately there are many who do not seem to have learned anything about the effects of trying to appease totalitarians<\/strong>, as France and the United Kingdom did with Hitler in 1938 when leave Czechoslovakia in their hands, providing Germany with time and resources that were very beneficial<\/strong> for its subsequent invasion plans.<\/p>\n Yesterday's editorial from The Washington Post<\/big><\/p>\n We have an example of this forgetfulness in the editorial published yesterday by The Washington Post newspaper<\/a>, titled \"Spain is held hostage by a faction of breakaway regional extremists\"<\/em>. The title was later changed<\/a> to this one: \"Spain is held hostage by a faction of breakaway regional extremists\"<\/em>. The thesis of the editorial starts from a correct starting point:<\/strong> that the instability generated by separatism in Spain benefits Russia, which has already offered help to the Catalan secessionists<\/a> with its separatist coup on October 1, 2017, as the American newspaper noted in 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n Criticizing Vox for \"flag-waving\"<\/big><\/p>\n However, the American progressive newspaper is carried away by its ideological prejudices, for example when talking about \" Spain\u2019s far-right Vox party \u2014 macho, flag-waving<\/strong>, migrant-bashing, climate change-denying and hostile to LGBTQ+ rights, abortion access and even government moves against gender violence.\"<\/em> Leaving aside those typical lies and labels typical of the left-wing media to demonize the conservative right<\/strong> (as if the bad guys, for example, were those who defend the right to life of unborn children , and not the left that calls the \"right\" to kill them), it's really funny that The Washington Post criticizes Vox for \"flag-waving\", as if that were a bad thing.<\/strong> Some media have lost their sense of ridicule.<\/p>\n Is a government of socialists and communists \"liberal\"?<\/big><\/p>\n The Washington Post's absurd portrayal of Spain includes talk of \"the governing liberal party of Prime Minister Pedro S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>.\"<\/em> A newspaper of this relevance should know that the government of Spain is not made up of a single party and that there are no liberals in it, regardless of the meaning we give to that word. The government of Spain is in the hands of a coalition between the socialists of the PSOE<\/strong> (a party increasingly leaning towards the radical left) and the communists of Podemos and Izquierda Unida<\/strong>.<\/p>\n What the newspaper does not say about the government of Pedro S\u00e1nchez<\/big><\/p>\n And since that newspaper mentions the issue of Russia, it wouldn't hurt to remember that Vox is the Spanish party most hostile to Putin<\/a>, according to a European NGO last year past, while Podemos and Izquierda Unida are the most pro-Russian parties in Spain<\/a>. In fact, in 2014, and given Podemos' support for Russia's interests in relation to the Russian annexation of Ukraine, Russian pro-government daily Pravda called Podemos a \"pro-Russian party\"<\/a>.<\/p>\n In fact, Podemos has shown its rejection of all military aid to Ukraine<\/a>, assuming a rhetoric very similar to that used by other pro-Russian parties in the rest of Europe. And while that extreme left party adopted that position, the socialist Pedro S\u00e1nchez increased the purchase of Russian gas by Spain<\/a>, thus helping Putin to finance his war of aggression against Ukraine.<\/p>\n The coincidence of the agendas supported by Putin and Soros<\/big><\/p>\n Why doesn't The Washington Post say anything about this? This question should be answered by that newspaper. In any case, we must not forget that both Putin and George Soros<\/strong> -one of the great sponsors of the political left in the West- they have dedicated themselves to supporting very similar ideological agendas in the West and even the very leftist politicians<\/a> who promoted them, among them extreme leftist parties such as Podemos.<\/p>\n In other countries this coincidence has gone even further in Spain. In Germany<\/strong> it was the government of the social democrat Gerhard Schr\u00f6der, which led a great rapprochement with Putin's Russia<\/a>, helping to develop joint projects such as the Nord Stream gas pipelines, which left Europe Central at the feet of the Russian dictator. When Schr\u00f6der left his position<\/strong>, was rewarded with a management position at a Russian state oil company<\/a>, Rosneft, directly controlled by the Russian government.<\/p>\n Poland's conservative government's warnings about Russia<\/big><\/p>\n
