This afternoon <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/oscarlopeztwit\/status\/1992207365307863040\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">I replied to a message from the Socialist minister \u00d3scar L\u00f3pez \u00c1gueda<\/a> in which <strong>he demanded the opposition condemn alleged shouts<\/strong> directed at the Prime Minister yesterday. This demand demonstrates great cynicism, as I stated in <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elentirvigo\/status\/1992247653477089719\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">my reply<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>The government, which has yet to condemn the pro-ETA attack on a journalist and four police officers in Pamplona<\/strong> or any of the far-left attacks against Vox, is now demanding that the opposition condemn some shouts. What utter hypocrisy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With this message I was referring to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/10\/31\/four-police-officers-and-a-journalist-injured-by-the-far-left-after-a-socialist-targeting\/\">the attacks that occurred on October 30 in Pamplona<\/a> by hooded far-leftists, <strong>attacks that the government has not yet condemned<\/strong>, just as it has not condemned any of the multiple attacks suffered by Vox members at the hands of the far left in recent years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It seems the minister didn't like my response<\/strong>, pointing out his government's double standards regarding violence: <strong>the socialist \u00d3scar L\u00f3pez blocked me in less than a minute<\/strong>. Now I can no longer reply to his messages on that social network. They're much faster at blocking than they were at sending aid to Valencia after the floods.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54940055874_96f4e1a0c8_o.jpg?s=eyJpIjo1NDk0MDA1NTg3NCwiZSI6MTc2MzgyOTg2MCwicyI6ImE2NGNlMDQwMjM5MjIzNTAyOTdlODM4NjQyZDczMmNjMGM5ODM5OTciLCJ2IjoxfQ\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54940055874_8a9b1d7cbb_c.jpg\" style=\"width:661px; height:auto; margin:10px 0 10px 0; border:2px solid #252525;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>This is the second Socialist minister to block me.<\/strong> The other is \u00d3scar L\u00f3pez, who blocked me years ago, before he joined the government. <strong>For me, these blocks are an honor.<\/strong> We have a corrupt, authoritarian government that has made it very clear that it does not tolerate independent journalists who disagree with it. <strong>Knowing that something I've written makes members of this government uncomfortable fills me with pride.<\/strong> I can't help but recall that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/09\/14\/22-spanish-police-officers-injured-in-a-violent-protest-fueled-and-praised-by-the-government\/\">L\u00f3pez was one of the ministers who praised the violent protest two months ago<\/a> against the final stage of the Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a in Madrid. If someone like that dislikes me, it's a sign that I'm doing something right.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, here's a fact: <strong>\u00d3scar L\u00f3pez is Minister for \"Digital Transformation\"<\/strong>. I wonder if this transformation that L\u00f3pez is leading with regard to new technologies includes <strong>blocking all those who express opinions he doesn't like<\/strong>, just as his colleague \u00d3scar Puente compulsively does. It's a rhetorical question, of course: in February <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/02\/05\/while-allowing-tributes-to-terrorists-sanchez-launches-his-digital-censorship\/\">S\u00e1nchez launched his digital censorship plan<\/a> <strong>while continuing to allow tributes to ETA terrorists<\/strong>.
