Many also serve to <strong>generate energy<\/strong>. In addition, one of their functions is to <strong>contain floods<\/strong> such as those seen on October 29 in a part of Spain. Despite this, <strong>many detest them for ideological reasons<\/strong> and believe that it would be better to do without them, ignoring all the positive things they bring us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Something similar happens with the Spanish Constitution.<\/strong> Many people are used to enjoying a free and peaceful life that has been possible, to a large extent, thanks to that pact that some so lightly denigrate. <strong>There are more and more people who believe that it would be better to eliminate it<\/strong> and make another one, or not have one at all, without considering the consequences that this would have. <strong>There are also people who think about the Constitution ignoring its cracks<\/strong>, and as happens every December 6th, some people try to make a party about it, ignoring this risk.<\/p>\n<p>Ten years ago, on the same day and almost at the same time that a criminal murdered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2014\/11\/28\/cuando-veas-a-un-policia-piensa-en-vanesa\/\">policewoman Vanessa Lage in my city<\/a>, I swore allegiance to the Flag as a civilian at the Naval School in Mar\u00edn. In that oath <strong>I committed myself on my conscience and honor to uphold the Constitution as the fundamental norm of the State<\/strong>, and I remain faithful to that oath. <\/p>\n<p>I think that <strong>today is a day to thank our parents and grandparents<\/strong> (and many others who are no longer with us) <strong>for having the greatness to seal that pact of coexistence<\/strong> that closed the wounds of a savage civil war, until the left decided to reopen them within the framework of <strong>an ideological project to undermine our Constitution and initiate a change of regime through the back door<\/strong>. A project that is still in force today and that has caused alarming cracks in our reservoir. <strong>Cracks that demonstrate its deficiencies but that should not be used to insert demolition charges into them<\/strong>, but rather for us to actively mobilize to repair and improve it.<\/p>\n<p>Today, of course, is <strong>a day to celebrate the Constitution together with our Armed Forces, our Police and our Civil Guard<\/strong>, who have made so many sacrifices in the defence of the constitutional order, especially against the ravages of ETA terrorism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There is no reason to attend any celebration with the politicians who are destroying this pact<\/strong>, violating our fundamental rights for decades, degrading our institutions, <strong>threatening national unity and seriously damaging our rule of law.<\/strong> An action that has not only been the work of extremists (such as separatism and the extreme left), but also <strong>the direct responsibility of the two major parties, PSOE and PP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing to celebrate with <strong>those who have been doing everything possible to turn our Constitution into a piece of wet paper<\/strong>, indecently dividing up the judiciary, turning the crime of <strong>abortion<\/strong> (the act of killing an innocent and defenceless human being) into a \"right\", establishing <strong>ideological indoctrination<\/strong> in schools, violating the <strong>linguistic rights<\/strong> of Spanish speakers in several regions of Spain, destroying <strong>equality between men and women<\/strong> through laws poisoned by fanatic gender feminism, <strong>feeding secessionist nationalisms<\/strong> with constant concessions to the point of turning Spain into 17 mini-states, and granting <strong>criminal privileges<\/strong> to the allies of the S\u00e1nchez government through <strong>an openly unconstitutional amnesty law.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Today is a good day to vindicate and defend our Constitution<\/strong>, but without hiding the need to resolve the defects that have appeared over the years, just as happens in any of our homes. <strong>Today is also a good day to vindicate everything that our dam is unable to protect,<\/strong> due to its construction defects and the cracks that have appeared over time. <strong>We have before us the challenge of saving this valuable dam and improving it,<\/strong> a challenge that requires greatness like that shown by our parents and grandparents when building it.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Image: Grok.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dams deserve a place of honour among the most formidable engineering works ever built by human beings.<\/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":[19536,10398],"tags":[641,693,11114],"class_list":["post-57981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-we-said-yesterday","category-spain","tag-partido-popular","tag-psoe","tag-spanish-constitution"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-12 04:58:47","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\/57981","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=57981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57981\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
