The objective of this measure is the same as always: <strong>to control the narrative while public services fall apart.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The problem this government faces is that <strong>it cannot control social media<\/strong>, which has become a major channel of information. This partly explains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2026\/02\/04\/spain-deserves-a-government-that-monitors-the-railways-not-opinions-on-social-media\/\">the digital censorship announced by S\u00e1nchez this week<\/a>. For some time now, this avenue for the free transmission of information and opinions has become a veritable obsession for the socialist leader: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2026\/02\/04\/spain-deserves-a-government-that-monitors-the-railways-not-opinions-on-social-media\/\">S\u00e1nchez even went so far as to compare using social media to buying a gun<\/a>, an outrageous statement that strongly resembles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eldebate.com\/internacional\/20240809\/maduro-ordena-bloqueo-red-social-x-durante-diez-dias_219137.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the crude excuses of the dictator Nicol\u00e1s Maduro for blocking Twitter in Venezuela<\/a>. However, <strong>S\u00e1nchez now lacks a parliamentary majority to approve these measures<\/strong>, and because they affect fundamental rights, he cannot regulate them through a royal decree law, which is the formula he has now chosen to govern outside of Congress.<\/p>\n<p><big>Creating tension to cover up the 47 deaths in the train accidents<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Despite this, <strong>S\u00e1nchez knows that these announcements generate tension and that many leftists are willing to justify anything he proposes<\/strong>, even ideas that threaten freedom of expression and freedom of information. <strong>For S\u00e1nchez, these announcements are a very useful smokescreen to cover up the 47 train deaths<\/strong> and prevent discussion of the government's responsibility for what happened, a fact that could damage him electorally more than the corruption scandals, since concern about <strong>the lack of safety on the railway network affects Spaniards of all ideologies.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thus, in Spain we have reached the extreme of having <strong>a government that uses the threat of censorship to prevent discussion of its role in the deaths of 47 people<\/strong>, simply because the far left, which S\u00e1nchez needs to keep his party in power and prevent its disappearance in the next elections, <strong>is willing to forget these deaths if the government focuses on censoring the \"fascists,\"<\/strong> which is how a large part of the left labels all Spaniards who do not share their ideological views. <strong>This is the same government that warns against \"polarization\" while simultaneously exploiting it for its own benefit<\/strong>, generating a social conflict that is very useful for making millions of left-wing voters forget such serious events as these accidents.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/lamoncloa_gob_es\/54774004785\/in\/feed-73483509-1757340891-1-72157721778136336\">La Moncloa<\/a>.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spain suffers the misfortune of having a weak government, besieged by corruption scandals and with high levels of incompetence.<\/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":[26121,26122,12063,10497,26137,693,2721],"class_list":["post-63272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-spain","tag-adamuz","tag-adamuz-train-accident","tag-censorship","tag-far-left","tag-gelida","tag-psoe","tag-pedro-sanchez-castejon"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-12 00:35:36","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"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=63272"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63272\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
