A denial that I hope will give way to the corresponding lawsuit against the media that published that garbage.<\/p>\n<p>I was not at all surprised to see the origin of this slander. 18 years ago, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2011\/10\/31\/federico-quevedo-ataca-las-victimas-otro-recadito-de-la-direccion-del-pp\/\">the same media outlet attacked Francisco Jos\u00e9 Alcaraz<\/a>, then president of the Association of Victims of Terrorism (AVT), <strong>because he was beginning to be annoying for the PP<\/strong>. A few years later, the same media attacked the victims of terrorism<\/a> <strong>who denounced the PP's failures<\/strong>. A few months earlier, after Rajoy's arrival at La Moncloa, a columnist for that newspaper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2011\/12\/14\/federico-quevedo-ya-habla-de-entendimiento-con-los-proetarras\/\">defended<\/a> <em>\"a new scenario of understanding with that world until now banned from the Basque left\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2014\/09\/28\/empieza-el-periodismo-basura-contra-los-traicionados-por-los-incumplimientos-del-pp\/\">the same outlet applauded the PP<\/a> <strong>when Rajoy managed to decapitate the newspaper El Mundo<\/strong> for questioning his government about corruption at the top of the PP. A few months later, the same outlet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2015\/01\/22\/ya-hay-sentencia-firme-desestimando-los-infundios-lanzados-contra-hazteoir-org\/\">launched another slander against HazteOir.org<\/a>, because <strong>this pro-life association was becoming annoying to the PP<\/strong> by denouncing that party's failures to comply with abortion laws.<\/p>\n<p>As expected, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2021\/03\/07\/las-burdas-mentiras-de-el-confidencial-sobre-vox-y-sobre-sus-aliados-en-polonia\/\">this media has also spread hoaxes against Vox<\/a>. The systematic campaign by this media against Vox has reached ridiculous extremes such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2018\/05\/29\/se-nota-que-vox-esta-subiendo-dos-medios-se-rien-de-santi-abascal-por-beber-agua-de-un-rio\/\">attacking Abascal for drinking water from a river<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2019\/04\/18\/la-legion-no-ha-pedido-a-vox-que-deje-de-usar-el-novio-de-la-muerte-es-otro-bulo\/\">spreading a hoax about the Legion<\/a> claiming that it had banned Vox from using the song \"El novio de la muerte\", something that is absolutely false.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It's funny how the years go by but the same people are always behind these lies<\/strong>, behind crude campaigns that aim to spread rubbish against those who dare to leave the PP fold or against those who are bothersome to that party.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the end, this is the consequence of having turned the PP into a party without principles.<\/strong> In the same way that it is content to sit and wait for S\u00e1nchez to fall as a result of the socialist corruption scandals, because the PP has no alternative discourse to offer to the ideological dogmas of the PSOE, <strong>now they believe they can finish off Vox by throwing garbage not against its leaders, but against their relatives<\/strong>. Once again, it will backfire: until now, <strong>this type of campaign has only served to unmask certain media<\/strong> and make clear what the PP and its media sycophants are willing to do to compensate for their lack of principles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For my part, I fully support Santiago Abascal, Lidia Bedman and Vox.<\/strong> Daring to disagree with the progressive consensus and being a relative of a member of Vox has these effects and worse ones, as we have been seeing for years with the wave of threats and attacks that the party has been suffering. <strong>From here I will not stop denouncing those who engage in foul play<\/strong> and those who seek to compensate for their desertion of the battle of ideas by launching smear campaigns against their rivals.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/populares\/52369037700\/in\/dateposted\/\">Partido Popular<\/a>.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many years ago, the Popular Party adopted a political strategy that theoretically consisted of focusing on good management.<\/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":[749,13257,641,2169,7535],"class_list":["post-58545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-spain","tag-el-confidencial","tag-lidia-bedman","tag-partido-popular","tag-santiago-abascal-conde","tag-vox"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58545"}],"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=58545"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58545\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
