Due to the corruption scandals of Pedro S\u00e1nchez's government, polls already indicate a decline of the left in Spain.<\/p>\n
For example, two days ago El Debate published a Target Point poll<\/a> indicating that the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) could lose up to 13 seats in Congress<\/strong>. This poll also indicates that the Popular Party (PP) would go from 133 to 147-148 seats, and Vox could rise from 33 to 49-50 seats.<\/p>\n Although this is not the case with El Debate, in other media these polls are usually accompanied by expressions such as \"majority of the PP and Vox\"<\/a> or \"majority of the right\"<\/a><\/strong>. I don't want to spoil anyone's joy with these results, but I think that the euphoria over these polls can make us lose our memory<\/b>.<\/p>\n In 2011, the PP won the general elections by an absolute majority, leaving the Socialists' ideological laws intact<\/strong>. The current national president of the PP, Alberto N\u00fa\u00f1ez Feij\u00f3o, was one of the PP leaders who supported not changing the worst of these laws: the abortion law<\/a>, in 2014. Nine years later, and in case there was any doubt as to whether he still thinks the same, Feij\u00f3o boasted that the PP had not repealed that law<\/a>. A few days earlier, Feij\u00f3o had confirmed the PP's pro-abortion shift<\/a> by labeling as \"correct\" the 2010 abortion law, passed by the PSOE and which classifies the act of killing human beings at prenatal age as a \"right\". <\/p>\n After so much deception and in light of experience, my confidence that the PP will repeal the socialist ideological laws is zero<\/strong>. I also can't help but remember that the PP and the socialists continue to govern together in the European Commission<\/a>, without its president, Ursula von der Leyen (of the European People's Party, EPP), having made even the slightest criticism of the attacks by Pedro S\u00e1nchez's government against the rule of law in Spain<\/strong>. A truly scandalous silence.<\/p>\n In fact, and seeing the line followed by the EPP, it is worth asking: Would Feij\u00f3o accept governing with Vox?<\/strong> I have not forgotten that in the midst of the socialist government's attack on judicial independence, in August 2023 Feij\u00f3o offered S\u00e1nchez six state pacts<\/a> for a two-year term. Until now, Feij\u00f3o has always shown himself more willing to make pacts with the socialists than with Vox<\/strong>, perhaps because in ideological terms, the PP is much closer to Pedro S\u00e1nchez's party than to Santiago Abascal's party.<\/p>\n So, to those who talk about \"a majority of PP and Vox\"<\/strong> and feel very happy contemplating that possibility, I ask: a majority for what? To leave everything as it is?<\/strong> If Feij\u00f3o continues to insist on changing one acronym for another in power but without repealing all the barbarities that the socialists have approved, and if the PP is not willing to govern with Vox because it considers it a plague party<\/strong> (for the mere fact of not having yielded to the ideological theses of the left), what would be the point of that supposed majority?<\/strong><\/p>\n Obviously, removing S\u00e1nchez and the PSOE from power would be great news<\/strong>, since they are largely responsible for the serious institutional, political, and economic crisis that Spain is experiencing, but that is not enough<\/strong>. If drastic reforms are not approved to dismantle the entire socialist ideological apparatus in Spain, when the left returns to power it would only have to pick up where it left off<\/strong>, and we would have once again lost a great opportunity to undo all the evils caused by socialism in Spain, which is what happened during Mariano Rajoy's term in office. Spain needs real change, not a new Groundhog Day<\/strong> in which the same mistakes from a few years ago are repeated.<\/p>\n ---<\/p>\n Photos: Vox Congreso<\/a> \/ Partido Popular<\/a>.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Due to the corruption scandals of Pedro S\u00e1nchez’s government, polls already indicate a decline of the left in Spain.<\/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":[10430,325,641,693,11462,7535],"class_list":["post-60013","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-spain","tag-abortion","tag-alberto-nunez-feijoo","tag-partido-popular","tag-psoe","tag-spain","tag-vox"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60013"}],"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=60013"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60013\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60013"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60013"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60013"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
