It was the origin of the authoritarian drift that we suffer now.<\/p>\n<p>Faced with the new wave of corruption scandals that is affecting that party, <strong>the PSOE has opted at its 41st congress for applause<\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/12\/01\/raised-fist-the-salute-of-many-german-communists-who-ended-up-in-the-nazi-party\/\">a totalitarian paraphernalia<\/a>, two elements that not only seek to silence the judicial proceedings initiated against the S\u00e1nchez government and the Socialist Party: <strong>their ultimate goal is to mobilize the most sectarian left, the one that considers that any crime is excusable if committed by a socialist<\/strong>, the one that believes that it is a thousand times better to be governed by left-wing thieves than by decent people who are right-wing.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, the PSOE is not alone in this. So far, <strong>all of the PSOE's parliamentary partners (the communists and the separatists) have shown themselves willing to continue supporting it<\/strong>. Not only do some have no qualms about doing this after supporting S\u00e1nchez's rise to power in 2018, invoking political corruption as an excuse, but <strong>they also know that the weaker S\u00e1nchez's government is, the more they can take advantage of it<\/strong> to obtain concessions that would otherwise be unthinkable. In this very compromised situation, <strong>the socialists will have no qualms about moving towards the demolition of our rule of law<\/strong> in order to stay in power.<\/p>\n<p>Given this situation, <strong>those of us who are neither separatists nor left-wing must do two things: the first is to resist,<\/strong> something that we must do at the present time, supporting all kinds of political and social initiatives against this government, and also <strong>acting in our personal environment through words<\/strong>, leaving our complexes aside to make the people around us understand the serious moment that Spain is experiencing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secondly, we must remember.<\/strong> And I am not just referring to remembering what happened decades ago, events that show us that <strong>we are not facing a malfunction of socialism, but its natural drift<\/strong>, due to its tendency to destroy all democratic counterweights and for the State, under the control of the left, to invade more and more areas of our society. <strong>We must also take good note for the future<\/strong>, so as not to forget anything that is happening and to remember, tomorrow, what some did to keep a corrupt and despotic government in power.<\/p>\n<p>We have a duty to <strong>prevent those responsible for this situation from enjoying the same impunity as the socialist Rodr\u00edguez Zapatero<\/strong>, a despicable guy who now dares to present himself as a leader of the PSOE after having left Spain ruined in 2011. <strong>If we do not make this commitment to not forget, even if we manage to oust the PSOE from power now, all this will happen again in the future<\/strong>, and we may have to start the resistance again but at a point even more difficult than the current one.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/psoe\/54176749644\/in\/dateposted\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PSOE<\/a>.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We live in a society where news happens so fast that many people easily forget what happened a month ago.<\/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":[10398],"tags":[1377,710,693,2721,10641,10796],"class_list":["post-57939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-spain","tag-felipe-gonzalez","tag-zapatero","tag-psoe","tag-pedro-sanchez-castejon","tag-political-corruption","tag-socialism"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-11 22:37:46","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"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=57939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57939\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
