The Prime Minister is clear proof of this. For some time now, <strong>Pedro S\u00e1nchez has been instigating antisemitism to use it as a smokescreen to cover up<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/06\/12\/socialist-corruption-in-spain-briefly-explained-to-people-from-other-countries\/\">the serious corruption scandals affecting the Socialists<\/a>, including his closest personal circle. Any other government in the European Union would have already fallen after everything that has come to light in Spain, but <strong>S\u00e1nchez clings to power in an increasingly alarming display of authoritarianism.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ese autoritarismo se observa en los numerosos abusos de poder que S\u00e1nchez viene cometiendo desde hace a\u00f1os. Anoche vimos otro m\u00e1s. <strong>Tras imponer que Espa\u00f1a no participase en Eurovisi\u00f3n porque Israel iba a estar en ese concurso musical<\/strong> (recordemos que se trata de la \u00fanica democracia real de Oriente Medio y un pa\u00eds que sufri\u00f3 hace tres a\u00f1os el peor ataque terrorista de su historia), <strong>RTVE, un medio estatal controlado por el gobierno, decidi\u00f3 censurar la emisi\u00f3n de ese concurso<\/strong>, cuyos derechos de emisi\u00f3n para Espa\u00f1a son exclusivos de esa cadena de TV. <strong>Es algo que no hab\u00eda ocurrido ni durante la dictadura de Franco.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because of this government censorship, <strong>many Spaniards had no choice but to follow the event on YouTube<\/strong>. Finally, and as happened in the last two years, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elentirvigo\/status\/2055787954837062094\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Israeli participant came in second place<\/a>, <strong>a major blow from Europe to antisemitism<\/strong>, including the kind S\u00e1nchez has been promoting from power to cover up socialist scandals. Furthermore, <strong>it was also a slap in the face to censorship<\/strong>, something that Spaniards thought they had overcome after the end of Francoism but <strong>which S\u00e1nchez has revived to<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2026\/05\/14\/the-anti-francoist-left-is-reviving-francoist-censorship-against-journalists-in-spain\/\">ban journalists who are inconvenient in Congress (as we have seen this week)<\/a> and now also to prevent millions of Spaniards from watching a popular TV quiz show on RTVE simply because he has not banned Israel.<\/p>\n<p>S\u00e1nchez's excuses for promoting the veto against the Jewish state are as false as they are cynical. However much the Spanish left insists on promoting this falsehood, <strong>the only crime of genocide perpetrated in the Middle East was the one Hamas committed against the Israeli population<\/strong> with its terrorist attack of October 7, 2013, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2026\/05\/13\/imagine-if-the-holocaust-were-broadcast-on-tv-and-today-germany-declared-itself-a-victim\/\">a crime about which we have learned new and appalling details this week<\/a>, about which the Spanish government has said absolutely nothing, after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2026\/05\/08\/sanchez-awarded-judeophobia-as-a-civil-merit-on-the-81st-anniversary-of-the-nazi-defeat\/\">having decorated an antisemitic fanatic who denied those atrocities<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, <strong>S\u00e1nchez is a staunch ally of the Chinese communist dictatorship<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2026\/04\/09\/an-opaque-operation-to-tie-spain-to-the-worlds-largest-authoritarian-regime\/\">an anti-democratic regime that perpetrated the greatest genocide of the 20th century<\/a> and that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2026\/04\/15\/the-history-and-crimes-of-the-occupation-of-tibet-by-communist-china-since-1950\/\">has maintained an illegal military occupation of Tibet since 1950<\/a> without S\u00e1nchez having condemned it even once. Let us remember, in fact, that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/09\/15\/sanchez-equates-israel-an-attacked-country-with-russia-but-doesnt-accuse-putin-of-genocide\/\">S\u00e1nchez has accused Israel of \"genocide\" but not Russia<\/a>, which has been massacring Ukrainian civilians for four years in an illegal and unprovoked invasion. <strong>This double standard of S\u00e1nchez can only be explained by his antisemitism<\/strong>, an ideological prejudice for which he is capable of doing anything.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The most astonishing thing about last night's censorship is the nonchalance with which many have accepted it<\/strong> and the brazenness with which government supporters have even justified it\u2014<strong>people who spoke in outrage about Francoist censorship but who now applaud socialist censorship<\/strong>. With each new abuse of power in this regard, S\u00e1nchez is testing the docility of Spaniards toward socialist censorship, and the response has been very alarming. <strong>In Spain, there seems to be an absurd tolerance for socialist abuses<\/strong>, a phenomenon that is the result of many years of ideological hegemony by a left wing that believes it has the right to disregard the rules of coexistence to impose its opinions on others.<\/p>\n<p>Let's imagine for a moment if the target of this censorship operation were no longer just a television contest, but a sporting competition. <strong>This year, UEFA is organizing the World Cup<\/strong>, which will take place in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.israeleconomico.com\/deportes\/chau-mundial-2026-israel-se-despide-con-una-inutil-goleada-a-moldavia\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Israel failed to qualify<\/a>, but let's imagine for a moment what would happen if they had: <strong>Would S\u00e1nchez be able to censor the World Cup just as he did with Eurovision?<\/strong> Would we see justifications similar to those we've seen regarding the ban on broadcasting that contest in Spain? <a href=\"https:\/\/onefootball.com\/es\/noticias\/un-mundial-2026-sin-espana-presion-para-que-no-vaya-si-juega-israel-41671385\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">There was already a pressure campaign from the Spanish left to veto Israel in that event<\/a>, <strong>pressures that the Iranian national team has not suffered<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/es\/deportes\/20260510-ir%C3%A1n-confirma-su-participaci%C3%B3n-en-el-mundial-de-f%C3%BAtbol-pero-fija-sus-condiciones\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">which will participate in this World Cup<\/a>, being a country subjected to a brutal Islamist regime that massacres its own population.
