In a democracy, public authorities have a duty to set an example for citizens through their conduct. In Spain, the opposite is true.<\/p>\n
In 2024, S\u00e1nchez described the inconvenient media as a 'mudslinging machine'<\/big><\/p>\n Two years ago, when the journalistic investigation began that led to the legal proceedings against his wife for several crimes, Pedro S\u00e1nchez coined the expression \"smear machine\" to try to discredit the independent media outlets<\/a> investigating the irregularities related to Bego\u00f1a G\u00f3mez. Since then, the government, the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party), and its propaganda machine have continued to escalate their attacks on media outlets and judges<\/strong> investigating this and other socialist scandals.<\/p>\n The S\u00e1nchez government has used the Council of Ministers press conferences to carry out these attacks<\/strong>, and not just once or twice, but repeatedly. After remaining silent for far too long, yesterday the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) issued a rather lukewarm statement criticizing these attacks<\/a>, noting that \"they contribute to eroding public trust in the rule of law<\/strong>\"<\/em> and denouncing that such actions \"weaken the foundations of an advanced democratic society and call into question the very foundations of the rule of law by instrumentalizing judicial activity\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n The socialist dirty war against the judge in the case of S\u00e1nchez's brother<\/big><\/p>\n Furthermore, this Tuesday the newspaper El Debate revealed that the socialist \"sewer\"<\/strong> \u2014as activists dedicated to waging dirty war against inconvenient journalists and judges are known\u2014 used fake photos generated with AI to discredit Judge Beatriz Biedma Rojano<\/a>, who is presiding over the case of S\u00e1nchez's brother, after finding nothing else to attack her with following a spying operation targeting her, her family, and her associates.<\/strong> Will some still think it's an exaggeration to say that Spain is governed by a mafia?<\/p>\n Ayer, tres asociaciones de jueces y dos asociaciones de fiscales emitieron un comunicado denunciando esa guerra sucia<\/a>: \"causa una profunda inquietud la posibilidad de que las supuestas estrategias de deslegitimaci\u00f3n hayan afectado no s\u00f3lo a una compa\u00f1era concreta sino a una pluralidad de integrantes de la judicatura<\/strong>\"<\/em>.
