A way of understanding the law that is typical of dictatorships, and that <strong>is precisely reminiscent of what the socialist dictatorship in Venezuela has been doing<\/strong>, first with Hugo Ch\u00e1vez and now with Nicol\u00e1s Maduro.<\/p>\n<p><big>The case of Judge Mar\u00eda Lourdes Afiuni, imprisoned and tortured in Venezuela<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Just as is happening in Spain, <strong>Ch\u00e1vez and Maduro have harassed and ousted judges who dared to investigate their crimes or contradict them<\/strong>, with cases as scandalous as that of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2010\/07\/01\/esta-chica-necesita-nuestra-ayuda\/\">Judge Mar\u00eda Lourdes Afiuni<\/a>, against whom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infobae.com\/america\/venezuela\/2019\/03\/23\/quien-es-maria-afiuni-la-jueza-que-hugo-chavez-ordeno-detener-por-tv-fue-torturada-y-ahora-condenada-por-corrupcion-espiritual\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hugo Ch\u00e1vez She ordered her arrest from a television show, but was eventually imprisoned and spent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/mundo\/noticias-america-latina-47670128\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ten years in prison, suffering torture and sexual assault<\/a> by officials of the Venezuelan dictatorship.<\/p>\n<p><big>The PSOE tried to boycott the support from Spain to that judge<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Significantly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europapress.es\/internacional\/noticia-venezuela-senado-pide-diplomaticos-espanoles-asistan-juicio-contra-magistrada-venezuela-20110324143959.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the PSOE attempted to boycott support for Judge Afiuni from Spain<\/a>. In fact, in 2011 the Socialist Party <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20190525064213\/https:\/\/elpais.com\/elpais\/2011\/03\/28\/actualidad\/1301300250_850215.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">was the only party to vote against sending Spanish diplomats as observers to the Afiuni trial<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As we can see, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/01\/10\/never-forget-the-spanish-political-parties-that-are-accomplices-of-nicolas-maduro\/\">the PSOE's complicity with the Venezuelan socialist dictatorship<\/a> goes back a long way and <strong>is no longer limited to supporting or covering up its abuses: it now intends to copy them in Spain<\/strong>, taking advantage of the fact that its parliamentary allies on the far left are also accomplices and supporters of the Venezuelan dictatorship.<\/p>\n<p><big>A case that should have served as a warning about what the PSOE wanted to do in Spain<\/big><\/p>\n<p>It was more than evident that <strong>when the Spanish socialists and communists supported the Ch\u00e1vez and Maduro dictatorship<\/strong>, refusing to condemn their human rights violations and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/12\/12\/psoe-votes-against-demanding-dictator-maduro-to-end-repression-in-venezuela\/\">refusing to call for an end to repression in Venezuela<\/a> (as they did last December in Congress), <strong>the message they were sending to us is that if they could, they would do the same in Spain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This impunity law announced today by the PSOE is the clearest demonstration that <strong>S\u00e1nchez and his party are following in the footsteps of Ch\u00e1vez and Maduro to undermine democracy and establish a socialist dictatorship<\/strong>, a regime in which they control the judges and no court can investigate crimes committed by the left in power. <strong>The attitude of the PSOE in the Afiuni case should have served as a warning to all Spaniards<\/strong>, as it made clear the threat that loomed over our democracy if the PSOE returned to power.<\/p>\n<p><big>The pacts that continue to legitimize the PSOE while it commits these abuses<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, <strong>some people not only ignored this warning but have also continued to negotiate with the PSOE<\/strong>, as the Popular Party has done, even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/07\/18\/von-der-leyens-re-election-good-news-for-sanchez-and-bad-news-for-spain\/\">reissuing its coalition with the socialists in Brussels<\/a> once again, despite all the high-sounding statements made by the PP about the amnesty law and other abuses by the socialists against our rule of law. <strong>These pacts have served to legitimize the socialists while they commit these abuses and to guarantee that the European Commission<\/strong>, headed once again by Ursula von der Leyen (a member of the European People's Party who has shamelessly displayed her affinity with S\u00e1nchez) <strong>does not act against these abuses of Spanish socialism.<\/strong> Until when, ladies and gentlemen of the
