In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NunezFeijoo\/status\/1785052496752202021\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">last night, in that interview, S\u00e1nchez spread a hoax against Feij\u00f3o<\/a>, the president of the Popular Party, without any of the related journalists who were there telling him that this was a lie. <strong>This is the kind of journalists that socialists want: obedient and servile journalists.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><big>S\u00e1nchez does not want to regenerate democracy: he wants to degrade it<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Of course, <strong>S\u00e1nchez does not want to regenerate democracy, as he has said<\/strong>. If he wanted to do that, the first thing he would have to do is stop launching <strong>attacks against judicial independence and against free media<\/strong>, break his pacts with pro-ETA members and those nostalgic for communist dictatorships and stop being <strong>the most opaque government of our democracy<\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vozpopuli.com\/espana\/sanchez-repite-presidente-mas-opaco.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the one that has received the most complaints due to lack of transparency<\/a>.
