There are well-known, public facts that are easily verifiable, but curiously, they never make the news in the media.<\/p>\n
One of them is the one indicated in the title of this article, referring to Spanish political parties with a presence in Congress and that openly support dictatorships<\/strong>. Below we'll review which parties they are, but I'll give you a significant fact: all of them are on the left side of the political map.<\/strong><\/p>\n This analysis uses data from the The Economist Democracy Index 2024<\/a>, which includes 59 authoritarian regimes. The following lists the political parties with representation and the authoritarian regimes they support.<\/strong> Each country name contains a link to information about that party expressing support for that regime, and its position in The Economist index is indicated next to the country name. Parties marked in red are those that have made statements or gestures supporting dictatorships:<\/strong><\/p>\n Thus, of the parties analyzed, six have expressed their support for dictatorships, and coincidentally, all six are left-wing<\/strong>, the same left that constantly labels parties of the democratic right as \"fascist.\" Significantly, support for dictatorships increases as the left becomes more extreme. These left-wing parties are the ones that most boast of being democratic and the least hesitant to openly support dictatorships<\/strong> with socialist, communist, or Islamist ideologies.<\/p>\n ---<\/p>\n Note 1: I have not included the mere relationship of some parties with single-party dictatorships as a gesture of support, provided that this relationship does not imply gestures or declarations of support for those dictatorships. I already wrote an article about these relationships in 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n Note 2: Syria is included in the list of dictatorships since the democracy index was compiled during Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship. The 2025 index classifying the new Islamist government has not yet been published.<\/small><\/p>\n ---<\/p>\n
