On April 16, 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psoe.es\/actualidad\/noticias-actualidad\/el-psoe-denuncia-a-vox-ante-la-fiscalia-general-del-estado-por-incitacion-al-odio\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the PSOE announced a complaint against Vox before the Attorney General's Office<\/a>, <strong>accusing the conservative party of spreading \"hoaxes\" to \"provoke a reaction against the Government\"<\/strong>. This is a rather cynical accusation coming from a party like the PSOE, which has been systematically using lies to discredit its political rivals.<\/p>\n<p>In its statement, the PSOE stated that <em>\"<strong>no one, not even a political party, can use freedom of expression expressed through political criticism to commit crimes<\/strong>.\"<\/em> The most astonishing thing was reading who the alleged victim of these alleged crimes reported by the PSOE to the Public Prosecutor's Office was: <strong>the PSOE spoke of <em>\"a hate crime, in accordance with article 510 of the Penal Code, for being directed against a certain political thought, socialism<\/strong>, represented by the PSOE, and against its representatives in the institutions.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p><big>The PSOE appealed to an article from the same chapter as the crime it wants to repeal<\/big><\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that <strong>the PSOE's complaint was directed at legitimate criticism by a party against a political ideology<\/strong>. It was not, as was the case a few days ago, a gratuitous insult against a religion, launched from a television channel paid for by all taxpayers. Apparently, <strong>for the PSOE, criticizing socialism is a \"crime\" but mocking Christianity is not<\/strong>. A blatant double standard that is already part of the political tradition of Pedro S\u00e1nchez's party.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the curious thing about the PSOE's complaint is that <strong>Article 510 is in the same Chapter IV of the Penal Code as Article 525 that the socialists want to repeal<\/strong>. This chapter contains various articles that refer to <em>\"<strong>crimes related to the exercise of fundamental rights and public freedoms<\/strong>.\" Article 510 criminalizes incitement to hatred, hostility, discrimination or violence against a group for reasons such as \"ideology, religion or beliefs.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p><big>The Prosecutor's Office dismissed the PSOE's complaint: Vox issued a legitimate criticism<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Significantly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elconfidencial.com\/espana\/2020-09-30\/fiscalia-archiva-denuncia-psoe-vox-covid_2769115\/\"\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Prosecutor's Office archived the PSOE's complaint against Vox<\/a>, <strong>deeming the party's criticisms to be legitimate<\/strong> (in fact, they were criticisms of the poor management of the pandemic by Pedro S\u00e1nchez's government). In other words, <strong>the PSOE tried to criminalize Vox for criticizing socialism, and now intends to give us lessons in \"freedom of expression\"<\/strong>, thus framing a clear offense to Christianity broadcast by a state channel controlled by the socialists. <strong>An offense that was intended to provoke a controversy that would serve to cover up<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/01\/02\/the-corruption-cases-that-the-socialists-try-to-cover-up-by-offending-catholics\/\">the corruption cases that affect the party, the government and S\u00e1nchez's family<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: Europa Press.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The PSOE, Pedro S\u00e1nchez&#8217;s party, shows that it has a very biased view of what freedom of speech is.<\/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":[16725,10713,10976,693,10796,11462,7535],"class_list":["post-58280","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-spain","tag-anticatholicism","tag-christianism","tag-christianophobia","tag-psoe","tag-socialism","tag-spain","tag-vox"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58280"}],"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=58280"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58280\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
