A totalitarian virus
The government reached the height of obscenity last Thursday after approving with 194 votes in favour, 99 abstentions and 53 against the new state of alarm until May 9. This is a state of emergency, which is unconstitutional from beginning to end, and gives full powers to Dr Sánchez Pérez-Castejón without having to report to Parliament. The president (with 55,000 dead from COVID 19) did not even deign to defend such an exceptional and authoritarian measure. We are really living in a state of war with a curfew throughout Spain. Leaving the explanations to Illa is not the most serious thing; the worst thing was to see how Ana Oramas and Inés Arrimadas signed a blank cheque for 180 days without conditions with the enemies of Spain. All that remains is for the PGE/2021 to be approved and thus eternalize the duo Peter and Paul in power until 2030. Or beyond!
Sánchez's disdain when he left the hemicycle immediately after the speech made by his vicar of the pandemic, Salvador Illa - whose most famous phrase was to compare the PP and Vox to Pili and Milli - equals, even surpasses, Mariano Rajoy's disdain when he left his seat to be taken by the bag containing Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría's microphones, loaned by Villarejo. At the same time, Don Mariano celebrated his unconditional surrender at the Arahy Restaurant with generous doses of bourbon and left us in the hands of an impostor. This mistreatment of Parliament and all citizens confirms what we have been saying about the tenant of La Moncloa: he is incapable of taking any political and economic responsibility. He delegates everything. And that is what he calls co-governance: does the coronavirus rise in its second wave to the heights of April and May? It doesn't matter, the problem is transferred to the Autonomous Regions, the system is destabilised, chaos is imposed by royal decree, he washes his hands with hydro-alcoholic gel five times a day, and the force of confinement (fear, naturally) reinforces his absolutism. Pedro Sánchez has shown that he is not a leader to get us out of this pandemic. His mouth is full of transparency, but we still don't know how many and who the dead are; where the strategic reserve is for this third wave coming, how much this social tsunami has cost and how many health workers have died from lack of means. Now that the streets of some twenty cities (from Logroño to Málaga) are burning every night, leaving a Nazi trail of broken glass, of robbery and pillaging, now, precisely now, it is also hiding in silence. Like Vice President Calvo, spokeswoman Montero or minister Marlaska, who was more busy "repatriating" ETA prisoners with blood crimes (185) than arresting anti-system revolutionaries.
The whole government shocked by the "botellón" and the private orgies at curfew without being aware that the street is just fed up of the 2nd vice-president and that the pandemic has brought unemployment, hunger, insecurity and ruin. The heroic thing is to survive. Get out of the official cars and the Falcon 10D and go any morning to the hospitals, to the Red Cross, to Cáritas or to the National Food Bank and you will understand that one cannot lie all the time to everybody. There is no end to this pandemic and there is no way to stop it with a recipe for everyone. 17 kingdoms of Taifas and two autonomous cities (Ceuta and Melilla) are about to explode because of the Moroccan asphyxiation that has transferred illegal immigration to the Canary Islands, the new Lampedusa. In a few days, although he is not welcome, the president will travel around Spain as if he were Mr Marshall, announcing the good news of European money and distributing it by hand as if it were manna in the Sinai desert. A tour for TV stations and praise and glory for the new Caesar. Sanchez's slamming of the door to both the Congress and the Senate is a coup d'état for the Constitution. And this time he does not do it alone, but accompanied by the worst of each house.
If you remember "To be or not to be" (1942) with the real "Lubisch touch", a theatre company simulates that Hitler arrives in Warsaw hours after the invasion. At one point, the actor playing the Führer responds when a passer-by greets him: Heil, Hitler! And he grinds his teeth to strengthen his moustache and responds by raising his arm: Heil, myself! That is the reflex act he left in the Journal of Debates at the last control session. After being questioned by Pablo Casado, he portrayed himself: "You have the floor, Mr. President of the Government", said Maritxell Batet; "Thank you, Madam President, thank you, Mr. Sánchez...; in other words, Heil, myself! This man lives installed in his vanity and in his ambition (He is on the moon, now it has water) and it is not strange that, from now on until the middle of spring, once the Parliament is buried, with a rigged control every two months and without any voting, he will govern with special powers and Enabling Laws. One example: the proposal to control the appointments of the Council of the Judiciary. Another: the initiative of the Attorney General's Office not to oppose the sentence of Major Trapero to facilitate the pardon and amnesty of the Catalan coup leaders. The Enabling Laws were created in 1933 so that "Justice would represent Hitler". This already happened on September 7 and 8, 2017 in the Catalan Parliament. The Constitutional Court annulled them, but they did not manage to stop the October 1st uprising and the proclamation of the Catalan Republic.
The 194 seats that have consecrated this state of civil war that has divided Spanish society will have much more serious consequences if, in mid-November, the same government that had a comfortable majority for "this time of tyranny" is also granted the right to home confinement for eight or ten weeks. By then, Minister Celaá will have imposed a new Education Law that abolishes the requirement to pass a grade and obtain the secondary school and vocational training qualifications free of charge; they want a docile, manipulable and ignorant youth. Let's see if the Attorney General's Office really does empura with "Minister 24", Dolores Delgado at the head. The prevaricating Judge Garzón, the real shadow justice minister, will not allow it.
Iglesias, following the steps of Maduro, Ortega and Kim Jong-un, will give us for Christmas a law of censorship (even of thought), with Artificial Intelligence (AI) that will bend the fractious media and critical journalists who do not admit the official reality or disagree with the unlimited goodness of the Government of the people by the people and for the people. We will all be criminals of conscience and transparency will be covered with a tarnish veil in our eyes, to look the other way, naturally. Who will defend in this "time out" the freedoms of assembly, expression, conscience, religion and education? As was the case on these nights of broken glass, the fault lies (and will lie) on the extreme right. Almost all of us will become right-wing extremists. First they will issue Democrat cards and then they will slowly laser mark us in 3D for the civil holocaust.
The Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, already has the "Trans Law" ready, which, like ZP's abortion law, will allow sex changes on request, without medical or psychiatric reports, nor will parental authorisation be required. Her fight with Teresa Rodriguez for the money (a booty of 1.7 million euros) has shown that her feminism is another scam. When the unemployed and the coronavirus is hitting hard, Irene and her caste spend thousands of euros on the supposed trauma caused by the pink colour in girls. To put it briefly: unpresentable.
To finish off this black semester, Balearic and Valencian people will finish the dirty work of Pompeu and Fabra's immersion in the Catalan language by taking advantage of the fact that the PSOE, Podemos, PNV, Bildu and ERC are negotiating that Spanish will no longer be the language of instruction. An unsuitable language. All of this, after the ministers' salaries were raised by more than 10 percent and spending on advisors and friends was doubled for the coming year. We learned directly from President Adolfo Suárez that democracy means knowing where every peseta of the taxpayer goes. Can anyone tell us the expenses and income of the first budgets of a government with 29 months in office? And the salaries and fees of the more than 1001 advisors to a never-ending Executive? Not one vote for this group of the 194 deputies of infamy who will dynamite our Nation before seven full moons arrive.
The landscape after the coronavirus war looks bleak. Land burned by hatred and misery. There is not even a glimmer of hope left with a PP that has broken all the bridges with Abascal; a PSOE - are there still at least 10 socialists in charge who can connect again with the decent socialists? Where are those 1000 organizations with the Royal distinction whichch do not openly protect the Monarch? It is true that the Royal Academies have shown their support after he was attacked by half of the government. The King is confined by Moncloa and hibernated so that he can only reign without a crown, but with the new "coronavirus Pedro Sánchez", without brakes, without controls, without limits. How long will the Constitutional Court continue to fail to resolve Vox's appeal on the legality or illegality of the previous state of alert? Let us remember that it has been 10 years since the PP made a pronouncement on an appeal regarding abortion. The decline of the institutions under this Frankenstein government is a matter of course.
The violence will not stop because democracy has shrunk with this opportunistic government; fundamental rights have been reduced with the totalitarian virus and because assaulting a policeman -in addition to the orgasm it gives the Unidas Podemos president when a law enforcement officer is kicked- costs only 60 euros.
From the labyrinth back to 1930's. That is the path of this government that rules and does not take any responsible or unanimous decisions to defeat the pandemic. A Pedro Sánchez who dilutes his responsibility in the National Health Council and in a non-existent committee of experts led by the "machoman Simón", does not deserve a single vote. Ladies Arrimadas and Orama: let us hope that you have already deeply regretted having given your vote to a politician who cannot be trusted, to a compulsive liar, to a politician who despises you, to a drunkard of power, to an enlightened man without principles.
With their vote they have committed a direct crime against the people. Madam President of Citizens party: I did not give you my vote so that the President can walk around half the world with paid expenses. Regeneration requires reducing political industry. Democracy has been confined, thanks to a Chinese and tyrannical virus, to a six-monthly autocracy. Do you know what awaits us in the middle of next year in this state of despair? A minefield to dynamite the Magna Carta. Goodbye, Transition, goodbye! A regime change without rules. A state of law without duties. A banana republic that wants to do away with the rich and not the poor. Suspending democracy for 180 days and 180 nights is illegal and unconstitutional, even if the judges, civil society and the IBEX 35 remain silent out of cowardice. Ninety years later, we are still on the same starting line of the Pact of San Sebastián. (Cordon sanitaire to the PP, Cs and Vox) and with a new PSOE, - they are not socialists, they are thieves - as a necessary collaborator of the Primo de Ribera dictatorship as a protagonist, which led us directly to a civil war.
Now the war is called unemployment, ruin, misery, hunger and, above all, progressivism. Pedro Sánchez is the faithful portrait of the dictator Miguel Primo de Rivera, who arrived from Barcelona directly to carry out the coup in 1923 and destroy the Senate, which was not rebuilt until 1977. Don Miguel accepted an "Honoris Causa" doctorate from the University of Salamanca - "I am a doctor of life," he boasted in his speech, having previously handed over a cheque for 60,000 pesetas; Sánchez has already obtained his own doctorate in the form of a book, which is also signed by a "ghost writer".
These next six months could well be called "the antechamber of tyranny". It is not a question of opposing democracy against fascism, but of defending freedom and the Magna Carta against the totalitarianism of some operetta-busters, salon revolutionaries. There is a crisis, right. A moral and mental crisis encouraged by some soulless politicians
A government where nepotism is the best argument and propaganda is a lethal weapon of mass destruction against coexistence. They have divided Spain to win a war 84 years late. (Democratic Memory Law).
These six months of democracy immersed in the ocean of nothingness will teach us to know what the enabling laws are and the "take advantage" of them! This (legitimate) government and its toxic partners (also legitimate) will impose on us a new order where the silence of the lambs and the will of the people will take precedence over the law. They are anaesthetising our consciences with a manual of tension that includes a central idea: "nothing will end until we are dead". We liberals will continue in active resistance against this government without attributes because the day - and hope - does not end until the sun sets.
PS. Finally, this chronicle ends with the stock markets falling due to the uncertainty of the results of the presidential elections in the USA. May the imperial force of the White House be with us until 2024 in the face of a decadent and permissive Europe!
