Unlike other medals awarded to Franco or Pinochet, <strong>the PSOE has never wanted to withdraw that distinction from two communist dictators<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, <a href=\"https:\/\/elpais.com\/diario\/1984\/05\/30\/espana\/454716012_850215.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the socialists awarded that medal to Chernenko for his \" defense of peace\"<\/a>, <strong>while Soviet troops massacred civilians in their invasion of Afghanistan<\/strong>, an invasion that left hundreds of thousands of civilians dead. Meanwhile, in addition, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eumed.net\/rev\/cccss\/2017\/03\/internacional-terrorista-urss.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the USSR dedicated to financing terrorist groups in the West<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the medal to Castro, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2021\/07\/16\/la-medalla-de-la-verguenza-el-dia-que-el-psoe-condecoro-al-dictador-fidel-castro\/\">as I already pointed out here in 2021<\/a>, <strong>the socialists subjected Spain to the shame of being the first European country to award a medal to the Cuban dictator<\/strong>. Only two other European countries awarded medals to Fidel Castro: Ukraine in 2010 (then with a pro-Russian government) and Serbia in 2015.<\/p>\n<p><big>Milei is a democratic politician who became president through free elections<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Let us remember that <strong>Javier Milei is a democratic politician who has come to office through free elections<\/strong>. Unlike him, Chernenko and Castro were dictators who came to office without free elections, in single-party regimes that violated human rights. <strong>The PSOE had the audacity to award medals to two tyrants while they were in power<\/strong>, and now it has the even greater audacity to criticize a medal to a democratic ruler. In the end, <strong>it is the same PSOE that criticizes that the PP makes an agreement with a democratic party like Vox, while the socialists make an agreement with communists, with the heirs of ETA<\/strong> and with the promoters of the separatist coup of 2017.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth remembering these data to those who believe that there was once a \"good PSOE\" and that what is happening now is a deformation of that party. <strong>The PSOE has always had a propensity to deal with communist and Islamist tyrants<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/06\/01\/pedro-sanchezs-antidemocratic-international-and-his-friendly-photos-with-dictators\/\">as S\u00e1nchez is doing now<\/a>.
