S\u00e1nchez is a politician in love with himself, who believes that his desires come before anything else. He is also a politician who <strong>has demonstrated few scruples when it comes to achieving his goals <\/strong>, attacking judicial independence, repeatedly violating the Constitution and seriously threatening the rule of law. Furthermore, <strong>he has demonstrated a brutal lack of empathy not only with his political rivals, but with all Spaniards<\/strong>, putting his personal interest above the common good to such an extent that it seems to confuse Spain with a private property.<\/p>\n<p><big>He has not condemned any of the attacks against Vox<\/big><\/p>\n<p>These alarming personality traits have been captured in his reaction to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2020\/09\/06\/las-cifras-que-arrojan-dos-anos-de-violencia-mafiosa-de-la-extrema-izquierda-contra-vox\/\">the wave of attacks against Vox unleashed by the extreme left in 2018<\/a>. In all the years that we have had democracy in Spain, <strong>never has an opposition party been subjected to a wave of violence like that<\/strong>, except for that suffered by the democrats at the hands of the ETA terrorists. <strong>Deputies, members and sympathizers of Vox have been attacked in the most varied ways<\/strong>, and the headquarters of that conservative party have suffered constant attacks.<\/p>\n<p>This wave of violence has now lasted six years, and in all this time <strong>S\u00e1nchez and his government have not condemned a single one of these attacks<\/strong>. Not only have they refused to make that gesture so basic for a democrat, but also <strong>all their efforts have been directed at demonizing those attacked<\/strong> and subjecting them to an anti-democratic cordon as if they were plagued, thus feeding the wave of violence against them.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2021, four years ago now, something happened that had not happened in decades of democracy in Spain: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2021\/04\/07\/podemos-justifica-sin-rodeos-las-agresiones-contra-vox-en-vallecas-han-ido-a-provocar\/\">members of the government justifying attacks against members of the opposition<\/a>, accusing the attacked to \"provoke\" their attackers, the old miniskirt argument that blames raped women for the aggression suffered. <strong>S\u00e1nchez never criticized this infamy<\/strong>. We did not see him then appeal to sentimentality, not even to the slightest notion of decency.<\/p>\n<p><big>He has agreed with those who do not condemn ETA's terrorism<\/big><\/p>\n<p>His insensitive attitude towards the violence against Vox is not, however, the most perverse gesture of that unscrupulous politician: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2023\/05\/17\/the-favors-to-eta-for-which-pedro-sanchez-does-not-want-anyone-to-talk-about-those-terrorists\/\">S\u00e1nchez has had no qualms about agreeing with Bildu<\/a>, <strong>a party that refuses to condemn ETA's terrorism<\/strong>, a criminal gang that has murdered 853 people, including 22 children.
