The year 2024 is coming to an end and I think it's a good idea to do so in a good mood. And what better way to wake up than with a joke from a politician.<\/p>\n
Last Sunday, the newspaper La Raz\u00f3n interviewed Borja S\u00e9mper<\/a>, the national spokesperson for the Popular Party. In one of his responses he said: \"We are a liberal and conservative party<\/strong>.\"<\/em> No, I'm not joking, I'm not making this up. You can see it in the interview (here is the link<\/a>). It was published on December 29, and in Spain jokes are made on the 28th. S\u00e9mper added: \"Today it is almost revolutionary to be liberal or conservative.\"<\/em><\/p>\n S\u00e9mper made an involuntary joke that made it hard to contain my laughter. Calling the PP \"liberal\"<\/strong, a party that has adopted the social democratic theses and the state interventionism of the left, and calling it \"conservative\"<\/strong>, while defending things like abortion, gender ideology and the theses of the LGBT lobby, is hilarious<\/strong>. If I had been the interviewer, I would have had as much trouble holding back my laughter as the Roman soldiers in the \"Biggus Dickus\" scene in \"Life of Brian\"<\/a>.<\/p>\n S\u00e9mper also said this: \"Woke culture, in my opinion, is profoundly anti-democratic and liberticidal<\/strong>,\"<\/em> but \"it is in decline because new spaces of freedom are being imposed.\"<\/em><\/p>\n Indeed, wokism is anti-democratic and liberticidal, and it is also a term that sums up the left that does not allow anyone to contradict its dogmas<\/strong>, promoting the so-called culture of cancellation against all those who disagree with that ideology. The funny thing is that the PP and its European partners have immersed themselves up to their necks in the progressive ideology that inspires wokism.<\/strong><\/p>\n If S\u00e9mper wants to see examples of this cancellation culture promoted by the left in Spain, he only has to go to the newspaper archives. In 2017, the PP joined the left and the extreme left to demonize a campaign by the association HazteOir.org<\/a> because it contradicted the theses of gender ideology<\/strong>, stating something that is common sense: \"Boys have penises. Girls have vulvas.\"<\/em> A female president The PP regional government described it as \"illegal\" to say that.<\/a> In Cadiz, demonstrating its liberticidal attitude, the PP supported an initiative by the Podemos communists to censor that campaign<\/a> declaring it \"non grata\".<\/p>\n Another, even more recent example: in January 2023, Vox presented a pro-life plan in Castilla y Le\u00f3n<\/a>, which included facilitating the fetal heartbeat protocol<\/strong> (that is, making it easier for parents to hear the heartbeat of their unborn child) and promoting access to 4D ultrasound<\/strong>, an advanced technological and medical tool that offers high-quality information about the unborn child.<\/p>\n As expected, the left raised a fuss<\/strong>, displaying its pro-abortion fanaticism as usual. Faced with this scandal, PP leaders began to attack Vox's pro-life plan<\/a>, demonstrating that ideologically the PP is indistinguishable from any socialist party. Can you guess? One of the PP leaders who criticized Vox for this pro-life plan was...<\/strong> Borja S\u00e9mper<\/a>! He said that Vox's pro-life plan was \"absolutely insensitive initiatives.\" Tell me again that you are a \"liberal\" and \"conservative\" party, Borja, and I promise I will try not to laugh. Seriously, ok?<\/strong><\/p>\n ---<\/p>\n
