In the event of their forced expropriation, the competent ecclesiastical authority must first be heard.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In 1982, in its <a href=\"https:\/\/hj.tribunalconstitucional.es\/es\/Resolucion\/Show\/108\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">judgment 66\/1982<\/a>, <strong>the Constitutional Court stated that <em>\"this Agreement between the Spanish State and the Holy See has the rank of an international treaty\"<\/em><\/strong>. In case anyone doesn't know, this is what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/documents\/spanish-constitution\/\">Article 96 of the Spanish Constitution<\/a> says about international treaties:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>International treaties validly concluded, once officially published in Spain, will become part of the internal legal system.<\/strong> Their provisions may only be repealed, modified, or suspended in the manner provided for in the treaties themselves or in accordance with the general rules of international law.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thus, <strong>S\u00e1nchez intends to violate an international treaty<\/strong> with the excuse of \"re-signifying\" the Valley of the Fallen. Considering the recent scandals affecting the socialist government and its habit of appropriating all institutions, it is reasonable to assume that <strong>they will want to turn this basilica into a socialist theme park, as sectarian as RTVE<\/strong>, controlled by the S\u00e1nchez government and a constant spectacle of manipulation in favor of the left.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, <strong>there are many people who won't care about any of this,<\/strong> just as they haven't cared about S\u00e1nchez's other abuses of the Constitution and our laws.

In other words, the government is not providing money to buy a drug that can save the lives of sick children, and is leaving the matter in the hands of the regional governments, <strong>while boasting about dedicating our taxes to healthcare and education<\/strong>.
