Franco - to distract attention when things go wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Paradoxically, <strong>this first official act was a clear example of political corruption<\/strong>, specifically the use of public resources for partisan purposes, since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europapress.es\/nacional\/noticia-sanchez-critica-quienes-quieren-olvide-franquismo-avisa-libertad-puede-perder-20250108133321.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">S\u00e1nchez turned it into a PSOE rally<\/a>, with criticism of what he described as the \"far-right international\". <strong>No ruler has the right to use an official act for partisan purposes, but S\u00e1nchez has been doing so systematically<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poderjudicial.es\/cgpj\/en\/Judiciary\/Supreme-Court\/Pressroom\/Press-Archive\/El-Tribunal-Supremo-confirma-la-multa-de-la-Junta-Electoral-a-Pedro-Sanchez-por-una-entrevista-televisiva-en-Moncloa-durante-el-periodo-electoral-publicada-en-la-web-de-Presidencia-de-Gobierno\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">He has even been fined by the Supreme Court for doing that<\/a>, but he continues to do it, showing that he believes himself to be above the law.<\/p>\n<p>While we wait for the political opposition and civil society to take this <strong>new case of embezzlement of public funds<\/strong> to court (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmundo.es\/espana\/2023\/05\/04\/64539fa821efa0357d8b4594.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a crime that S\u00e1nchez's own government downplayed to benefit its separatist allies<\/a> in exchange for their support, in yet another example of political corruption), there are two things I would like to comment on about the socialist rally organized yesterday by the government with everyone's money.<\/p>\n<p><big>S\u00e1nchez portrays his government by formulating a definition of Francoism<\/big><\/p>\n<p>The first thing is that, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamoncloa.gob.es\/presidente\/actividades\/Paginas\/2025\/080125-sanchez-espana-en-libertad.aspx\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in his speech, S\u00e1nchez stated<\/a> that <em>\"<strong>in 1970, Spain was governed by an authoritarian and repressive minority<\/strong> that used fear and power to impose its interests and values \u200b\u200bon the rest of society\"<\/em>. <strong>Sanchez intended to define Francoism in 1970 and ended up painting a portrait of his government in 2025,<\/strong> since that is precisely what we have in power in Spain right now: an authoritarian and repressive minority (remember that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2023\/11\/06\/marlaska-did-not-allow-the-police-to-defend-themselves-from-a-separatist-attack-and-now-orders-an-attack-on-a-peaceful-demonstration\/\">the government ordered a heavy police charge in 2023 against a peaceful demonstration<\/a> in front of the national headquarters of the PSOE) and that uses fear and power to impose its interests and values \u200b\u200bon the rest of society.<\/p>\n<p><big>Socialism in Spain: indoctrination, authoritarianism and attacks on fundamental rights<\/big><\/p>\n<p>For many years, <strong>the socialists have been using all possible means in Spain to impose their hateful ideology on all Spaniards<\/strong>, even using schools, through indoctrination practices that are typical of a dictatorship, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2020\/01\/19\/celaa-ataca-la-libertad-de-educacion-con-una-trampa-que-podria-liquidar-otras-libertades\/\">attacking the constitutional right to freedom of education<\/a>, an attack that was responded to by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2020\/11\/22\/massive-demonstrations-against-the-spanish-government-attack-on-freedom-of-education\/\">massive protests throughout Spain<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>S\u00e1nchez's authoritarian and repressive attitude became evident when he locked all Spaniards in our homes, violating the Constitution<\/strong> during the 2020 pandemic, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2021\/10\/27\/el-tc-vuelve-a-dar-la-razon-a-vox-y-deja-en-evidencia-el-pacto-psoe-pp-para-cambiarlo\/\">as the Constitutional Court made clear in three rulings<\/a> in which it pointed out that <strong>S\u00e1nchez's government violated fundamental rights<\/strong> such as the right of movement and the right of assembly, resorting to a legal mechanism, the state of alarm, which did not allow it to do that. <strong>This had not happened in Spain precisely since the Franco dictatorship.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><big>S\u00e1nchez is an example of the risk we have of ending up in a dictatorship<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Secondly, <strong>S\u00e1nchez stated that <em>\"if history teaches us anything, it is that freedom is never permanently won\"<\/em><\/strong>, but that <em>\"it is something that can be lost.\"<\/em> Regarding the dictatorship, the socialist leader added: <em>\"Therefore, it <strong>can happen again.\"<\/em> I must confess that I fully agree with this warning. In fact, <strong>the S\u00e1nchez government is the clearest example of the extent to which Spain can end up losing its rule of law and becoming an authoritarian regime<\/strong>, with a government that is dedicated to attacking judicial independence and critical media, in an attempt to intimidate those who investigate socialist corruption cases.<\/p>\n<p><big>A government that is attacking the very foundations of democracy<\/big><\/p>\n<p>The case of the amnesty granted by S\u00e1nchez to his separatist allies in exchange for their support is an example of the extent to which <strong>this government is attacking the very foundations of democracy<\/strong>, which include equality before the law and the separation of powers. An attack perpetrated to grant impunity to the government and its partners, in <strong>a way of exercising power that is typical of those seeking to establish a dictatorship<\/strong>. We must not forget that we already have a precedent in another Hispanic country: <strong>in Venezuela, the socialists turned a democracy into a dictatorship with steps very similar to those that S\u00e1nchez has been taking in Spain<\/strong>, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2022\/12\/16\/sanchezs-coup-against-the-justice-in-spain-is-a-copy-of-what-chavez-did-in-venezuela\/\">his attack on judicial independence, which is a copy of what Hugo Ch\u00e1vez did<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I would like to remind you that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2023\/11\/11\/spain-the-list-of-the-institutions-that-reject-the-socialist-attack-against-the-rule-of-law\/\">194 institutions denounced this unconstitutional amnesty law<\/a>, including 11 regional governments, 26 entities in the judicial field - among them <strong>the Supreme Court, the 17 High Courts of Justice and the 4 largest associations of judges -, all associations of prosecutors<\/strong>, 51 entities of lawyers, attorneys and solicitors, 28 associations of civil servants, 39 business, professional and commercial entities and 22 media outlets. <strong>No law in Spain has been so widely rejected in all the years we have had democracy.<\/strong> It is the height of cynicism that the same government that perpetrated that law now comes to present itself as the champion of our democracy.<\/p>\n<p>It should be remembered that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2023\/11\/06\/statement-of-the-general-council-of-the-judiciary-of-spain-against-the-amnesty-it-is-a-serious-violation-of-fundamental-rights\/\">the General Council of the Judiciary published a harsh note of rejection against this law<\/a> in which it warned that <em>\"<strong>democracy, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law may be in danger<\/strong>\"<\/em>.
