Death wound
The Constitution is 42 years old. This 2020 is the worst year of our lives: for the coronavirus that has destroyed our present and our future, - 60,000 dead at close quarters and in solitude - and for this government of social-communist coalition that, after approving the Budget with brave and patriotic people, is now preparing to put a death knell on coexistence that will make us bleed for the rest of the Legislature. Five minutes after the parliamentary success (189 votes from the PSOE, UP, ERC, Bildu, PdCat, PNV, Más País, Compromís, Nueva Canarias, Teruel Existe and PRC (thanks to Revilla)), Otegui threatened to initiate the proclamation of the Basque Confederal Republic today, as Hitler did with Poland, and ERC demanded amnesty for the 1-0 seditionists. Rufián, in his greatest days of shared glory with Adriana Lastra, embroidered it on the floor: "A new era has begun; this Executive will always depend on us". We can, and the separatists have tied and tied the PSOE to eternity.
At the last minute, the Canary Islands Coalition broke away - "you are cowards", Ana Oramas said to the Iglesias-Sanchez duo after stealing 30 million euros to alleviate extreme poverty in the Archipelago, and Inés of my soul who saw how the decision of the doctor president was determined since 2018 with her investiture partners. And even his star proposal, the reduction in diesel fuel, was stolen by the PNV. He did not even manage to get back the National Health Card, which was already in use in the days of Franco. The PP made a point of presenting amendments; Vox saved himself the trouble, knowing that they would not accept any, and the Navarre-based Suma and Foro Asturias were consistent with their people. Just like the CUP that only comes to Madrid to collect the salaries and the extras. Coalición Canaria has been despised because with this monolithic block of brave and patriotic people there is no room for dialogue. Now it is tearing its clothes off with the swindle of illegal immigration. So that it can once again give the president six months without control "cum laude".
The Kingdom's accounts are a story. Not a single national or international organisation has endorsed this bill, in which experts estimate that there is a gap of more than 65,000 million euros between income and expenditure. The ruin awaits us no matter how much they make up with European aid because it has been done without having counted on the second wave of the pandemic (some 300 deaths a day) or the ERTES that will become ERES in the next 20 days. The price of power-hanging on at La Moncloa-was very high: Marlasca has brought more ETA terrorists with blood crimes to the Basque Country-while waiting to receive the powers in penitentiary institutions in the spring. Margarita Robles has handed over the Loyola barracks to drive the army out of San Sebastián, dismantling it for the sake of "sustainable" property speculation; A pardon for the Catalan coup leaders, a new bank in Catalonia to manage their robberies, the banning of Spanish in territories with another language, the parallel taxation of Catalan, Basque, Valencian, Galician (and Bable) in the State administrations (Congress, -in the Senate it has been in operation for more than fifteen years-, the Treasury, RTVE) and the harmonisation of taxation; In other words, increasing taxes to impoverish Madrid and to cover the lack of solidarity of the Cupo vaco and the Amejoramiento Navarro - this is not touched - and to cover the debt of 120. billion that Catalonia has with the state because it receives (and will never return) 30 percent of the FLA's funds. And as a cherry on top, the legalisation of evictions and the 32-hour day from Monday to Thursday.
These are "improvements" of more than 4.5 billion for the members of the Frankenstein government who also intend to control the justice system, starting with the CJPJ, opening the door to UP, Bildu and ERC. The provocative Iglesias, threatened by several judicial investigations (Box B, Neurona, phone card of his advisor Dina) wants to accelerate the process of co-opting the Council and the General Prosecutor's Office to avoid possible convictions.
It is not surprising that it is the Bolivarian communist Pablo Iglesias, who has never visited a single old people's home punished by Covid 19, who gives lessons in democracy by accusing the PP of "staying out of the Magna Carta". Those who want to take us directly to the Third Republic without Transition, those who are sharpening the guillotine against the Parliamentary Monarchy, those who aspire to implement "the new type of democracy" of the Popular Front to extol and pardon thieves like Prieto and Negrin, those who govern against more than half the people, Peter and Paul, Pablo and Pedro are delighted to fragment Spain into a Federation of Republics (3,4,5,6,7), taking refuge in the tragedy of the coronavirus pandemic and in the absolute power granted to Dr Sanchez by a majority of Congress in order to narcotise public opinion and make them forget the real problems: unemployment, hopelessness, hoteliers locked up in churches in Asturias, illegal immigrants arriving in the Canary Islands, bankrupt SMEs, impoverished self-employed people, food banks unable to attend to hunger queues... Real problems of the people Sanchez deals with as if we were in kindergarten. Changing the regime, the dream of a government of mangantes.
While they dismantle the Welfare State and boast of the heroism of having unearthed Francisco Franco, while wages are raised when the unemployed reach five million, while the nepotism of Ximo Puig with his brothers, - "in Madrid there is an independence movement", He maintains, knowing that he lies like a rogue and while Sanchez and Iglesias place all their friends without transparency, they appeal, to cover up such immorality, to the "noise of sabers" because a handful of military men (retired and old) have written to the King to denounce the obvious: "That Spain is in danger". Spain and the King himself are asking him to retract his words of 3 October 2017 when he denounced the 1-0 coup in Catalonia - "the greatest disloyalty of the institutions to the State" and the greatest inaction of a government in a democracy - and pledged to respect the laws and the unity of the country.
This is a sectarian government. Two examples: President Pedro Sánchez's planned visit at night to the La Paz Hospital in Madrid while Isabel Ayuso was in Barcelona, without notifying the Community or the City Council - the first time a hospital has been visited after 11 months of the pandemic - and the absence of Illa and the imposition on the Royal House not to attend the inauguration of the new "Isabel Zendal" anti-virus centre, which has already been inspected by eleven health delegations from the EU and Morocco. Salvador Illa lied once again; he pretended to be at a telematics summit with his EU counterparts when in fact the appointment was for six in the afternoon, not at midday. These are the people who talk about dialogue. Like their leader Iceta, who dressed in a sheep's clothing, has assured that the PSC will not participate in a tripartite with ERC and Podemos en Común as long as they maintain the right to self-determination and the referendum for independence. We can read the lips of Don Pedro I the Liar: "I will never negotiate with Bildu, never; I repeat it twenty times?" He had said the same thing before in his campaign with UP. And he ended up being held hostage by a convicted and confessed communist, son, who has dragged the PSOE into the hell outside the Constitution.
Today, this prime minister who gets Bulgarian-style majorities in the Hemicycle but is booed in public (Madrid, Navarre, Valencia, National Day), because people are up to their eyeballs in their haughtiness and their failures, sees everything from the Falcon D50. And he has come to the conclusion that Sánchez himself is the main driving force behind the permanent coup d'état we have been suffering from since 2012. An unprincipled toxic government that sells the hope of a coronavirus vaccine with the same immorality as it ended the tragedy in June. Where were his partners today? Absent but in the direction of the state.
The PGE/21 is an unprecedented political success for a party with 120 MPs. It dominates the Houses, the Judiciary, the media (public and private, with some honourable exceptions); It has passed the Celaá law to make ignorance the strength of its power by banning suspensions (as Mao did in the spring of 1951) and is now preparing enabling laws (euthanasia, the law on prior censorship, judicial reforms to pardon secessionists (from Marchena's dream) so that the prosecutors of the former minister Dolores Delgado can investigate the cases with the sectarianism of this subject who now believes it is necessary to reform the Fiscal Statute beforehand. In short; to control all the powers. And to perpetuate itself as already announced in the PSOE posters beyond 2026. The question is: what will remain of Spain after this six-year period of authoritarianism with radical, anti-democratic partners and enemies of the Nation?
This Executive of dark druids, - "we are creators of talent"- says Celaá, the "art of Fierabrás", is a companion of the vice president Carmen Calvo who has assured a few hours ago that Fernando Simón is there because of his "expertise". It is a pity that a whole year has been lost, which has consolidated an incapable government and a president who reminds us of Zelig, the Woody Allen character who transformed and adapted to all environments. A chameleon (Republican, Democrat, Social Democrat, baseball player, black trumpet player, opium smoker, psychiatrist, university professor) "As long as the PSOE governs" -he has assured- "the Constitution will govern from east to west and from north to south; from the first article to the last". We cannot believe him.
As EL MUNDO denounces today, -one of the few walls still to be broken down- the coalition government is threatening 14 articles of the Laws Act from the assault on the Judiciary, to the unity of Spain through the Castilian language. Vargas Llosa considers that eliminating Spanish as a vehicular language is "idiocy without limits". Few will listen to him.
Our great helmsman will end up being the prime minister most loyal to Philip VI and the Magna Carta if his seat in the government is in danger, even though he forgets that UP and Bildu are calling for a constitutional process. He is an egomaniacal, non-empathetic guy who wants "everyone to like him". But he is only a third-rate actor. An impostor who is only interested in power. Thus, Spain (cannot) and thousands of families are being left in the gutter of misery. We will not emerge stronger from the Covid but more enslaved and dependent on totalitarian populism. Let's see if Casado gets his act together and expands his space to social democracy and Abascal becomes the great conservative party. This is the only way to stop Sánchez's radicalism. We can see that he is no longer uneasy about having Iglesias as "first" vice-president; Rufián and Otegui are his brave patriots. And the vaccine in despair will come to their defence when we can no longer count the dead that we have not been able to bury.
The president arrived late for the institutional ceremony on Constitution Day with 200 guests in the street (at 6ºC), armoured to avoid being booed. He stressed that the "Magna Carta saves lives", thanks to the state of alarm that has made him the Sun King and praised the fact that the approval of the Kingdom's Accounts "elevates the social soul of the Law to the highest category". Two paragraphs of the manual for a "canutazo" of propaganda Redondo, S.L.
While thousands of citizens gathered in Town Halls all over Spain, called by VOX to denounce the budgets agreed with the communists and separatists -the biggest creators of hate, terror and blood-, the President of the Congress, Marixell Batet, remembered in her speech the heroic health workers of the Covid and highlighted the call to the collective effort of the King. "What makes a constitution good is its character as a pact and its ability to integrate," she stressed. Words from the hall.
This government, after the greatest period of stability and well-being in our history, has brought democracy and freedoms to the brink. We have yet to take a step forward. In these times of uncertainty, with an invisible and murderous axe that is unprecedented for coexistence, it is time to proclaim loud and clear that the 78 Constitution embodies the values that have allowed us to belong to a free world where democracy, freedom, property and the rule of law are an essential part of our future; Spain is a country with a glorious past that has spread Spanish and Catholicism throughout half the world and belongs to the area of greatest prosperity and peace over the last 75 years. Here and now it hurts us that Spain is mortally wounded, like the festival of the bulls, something so much our own. But despite the fact that the greatest enemies are installed in the State Institutions, let us take advantage of the date to shout with pride: Long live the Charter Magna!, Viva el Rey! and Viva España!
