Vaccine against indifference

President Donald Trump is hurrying towards his final hours in the White House. He is leaving through the back door of history. He announced that he would not attend Joe Biden's inauguration outside the Capitol and that he would not meet him in the Oval Office to hand him "the nuclear codes". Although he has not participated in any new war and the economy has been a success, the denial of the pandemic (400,000 deaths) and his heterodox way of governing through Twitter, did not allow him to renew his mandate. Stars that shine twice as bright, last half as long," wrote Uncle Oscar.

Trump, almost a shooting star, leaves a country divided, broken, radicalised, wounded, with several open crises in prospect : (social, political, racist and economic); the assault of some of its most extremist supporters on the House of the People - domestic terrorism (insurrection) with six dead, including a policeman - will serve as a pretext for Nancy Pelossi with the complacency of some Republican senators to plot her disqualification for the 2024 presidential elections. The suspension of her Twitter and Facebook accounts is an attack on freedom of expression. And its political end. As soon as he leaves the presidency, he will be a leader dampened by his greed and immoderation. The police decisions confirm that the 27 national security agencies - including the FBI - need an urgent investigation. Beyond the "theft of votes", without confirmation by the courts, the transition from Trump-Pence to the Democratic duo Joe Biden-Kamela Harris will be historic. A pendulum swing.

Historically, it was also the storm Filomena which left us in solitary confinement for more than ten days in Madrid and its surroundings; Barajas closed for more than five days is an example of improvisation. The lack of assistance to passengers without water or food confirms that here there's never a plan B. And that the authorities, even when Delcy Rodriguez disembarks illegally, always look elsewhere. Including the judges of the Constitutional Court. President Pedro Sanchez, always in hiding until his escape, arrived at the Ministry of the Interior in a 4x4 like someone going to the opera. With his steak shoes on. Fortunately, Margarita Robles quickly sent the UME to save Madrid. Better to use picks and shovels than sickles and hammers. The army against coronavirus and against snow. Or against fire. Always with the people. In his honour, the latter wounded the heroic Marlaska and the expert in the series Pablo Iglesias, who launched a "guerrilla war" in the Council of Ministers, accusing the Minister of Defence of aligning herself with the right and the extreme right, after defending the King Emeritus and the parliamentary monarchy. In short, for supporting the Constitution. Filomena, another historical fact that has overtaken us. Like the invasion of the rubbish. With this government, we are still behind in almost every area.

After almost a year, the third wave of snow caught us off guard again. After the sermons of the Moncloa and Dr. Sanchez's unilateral declaration "urbi et orbi" that "we have defeated the virus and now we must go out, have fun and consume", INE counted the additional deaths of this cursed 2020. That's 80,202 more than the previous year. Perhaps not everything is due to the Chinese virus, but what is beyond doubt with the WHO parameters is that, collaterally, it should be noted in the "must" of the pandemic that many people have not been able to access the usual recovery services (heart, kidney, lung, cancer treatments, psychiatry, etc.). The government remains rooted in the lie of the 50,500.

This is the first obligation of the executive: to put order into the number of invisible victims. To count the victims. That is the question. Since February of last year, 100,000 people have disappeared. The first obligation of the opposition, because the social-communist government will not do it, will be to ask for a commission of enquiry in Congress to count the dead and, at the same time, to promote an association of coronavirus (CVA) victims19 . The idea was given to me by Santiago Gómez, a friend and colleague of mine (PP. Trinitarios, Alcázar de San Juan, Ciudad Real) and we agree on the reasons for this creation: a) this pandemic has been the most painful and unpredictable event of this century; in July we could reach 100,000 victims. b) Sooner or later, political and legal responsibilities will have to be clarified despite the dirty work of the Navajas prosecutor because the national authorities have taken command with a president who is still at large. The families have the right to know the truth. And to be compensated in case of negligence; the GEP must therefore plan a concrete departure. c) The consequences of the pandemic could last more than three decades and affect thousands of collateral patients who will have to follow a life under medical supervision. New research units and new hospitals will have to be opened, such as the Isabel Zendal Hospital, promoted by Isabel Ayuso, which has been so revived by ideological hatred.  This is in the interests not only of health but also of the world of work. How many people will be prevented from continuing their previous work? d) Thousands of health workers (one in four in Spain) are already receiving psychological assistance due to accumulated stress. e) How many citizens will be left behind, losing their lives and possessions, and who already need economic and psychiatric support?  It would be mandatory that this stroke19 be accompanied by the creation of the Ramón y Cajal Institute for Executive Counselling, with independence similar to that of the Louis Pasteur (France) and Robert Koch (Germany) Institutes. With real Spanish experts. 

The government's propaganda crushed us with this sentence: "We will leave no one behind". We can go far with a kind word, but we can go further with a kind sentence and a weapon as powerful as a lie. Let them tell this to the thousands of small and medium-sized businesses in ruins, to the unemployed on 31 December and to the ERTES that will go straight to the SEPE (the former INEM) on the last day of May. More historical data. Desperate cases. This society is wounded and after the pandemic, the government and the opposition must look for formulas that allow us to move forward and save companies. Without business, there is no work. And without work there is only violence, hunger and ruin. Democracy is in danger because without work, dignity is lost. And without dignity, loneliness invades everything. The coronavirus is loneliness.

In parallel to this Association of COVID Victims (AVC19), which we are proposing, it is urgent to set up a National Pact for National Reconstruction which will weave the productive fabric and begin to create jobs by optimising the aid from Brussels. Now that after the snow comes the thaw, why not, instead of a basic income, create a basic job with four hours' pay and clean up the cities, riverbeds, mountains and look after the elderly? We can't go on with a Salvador an Health Minister, a PSC candidate for the Generalitat, who wants to take advantage of the miracle of vaccines to scratch a handful of votes and form a multiparty system with the ERC, the Podems, JustxCat (the convergences of the Puigdemont escape) and if necessary the CUP to continue the process. Illa denied the pact, but we already know the words of her boss: "I will never agree with Podemos or Bildu. I will repeat it 20 times"? No, thank you. Salvador Illa, Secretary General of the PSC Organisation and responsible for the electoral programme, must not have read the programme because they are still betting on the referendum ("right to decide") and dialogue if the separatists exceed 60% of the votes. In the meantime, they are in favour of pardon and will only be satisfied with an amnesty. He is as serious as a liar. "The people believe any crazy lie. And the crazier the better," we saw in the early morning in Merlvin LeRoy's Quo Vadis. The Castilian-Léonese communards, the Asturians, the Aragonese and the Andalusians rebelled against the Sánchez empire, but Illa applies the policy of the garden dog. 17 Autonomous Communities, 17 systems of opposition to the coronavirus. They will agree on the sixth wave, when everything will be dead. A perfect storm with the virus has just arrived after the Brexit.

Abandoning the pandemic - even if its management was a failure - in the middle of the third wave of the tsunami reaffirms that this government is only acting in an electoral manner.  A few minutes before Justice Minister J.A. Campo did not question the legitimacy of the postponement of the 14F elections, the government presided over by Pere Aragonés and his government decreed their postponement until 30 May. What would we have said if Trump had suspended the November presidential elections? Isn't the right to vote considered sacred? Puigdemont - who will be able to stand up after staging a coup d'etat and continuing to flee justice in Waterloo - should be discouraged after collecting 120,000 euros through our taxes, our escort and our presidential office. He is also a Spanish MEP. Another with Torra. Neither the opposition nor the government has amended the penal code to disqualify these wretched Nazi-socialists. But they seek to "occupy" the CGPJ by a majority without listening to the judges and magistrates and to force the king to sign the pardon for the putschists of 1 October. Other historical facts. The truth is that I have had enough of so many historical facts.   

Why does the president want a six-month imperial mandate if he doesn't exercise any leadership? Simple: so he will not be controlled by Parliament. This is how he has already been able to approve 82 decree-laws, more than all those signed by Aznar, Zapatero and Rajoy combined. The legislator's philosophy is simple: to vaccinate us all against indifference. This New Year, in this ice age before the coming floods, we will continue to resist. Among all democrats, we must break this "social shield of imposture" of socialists, communists, separatists and philoterrorists that will lead us directly to ruin. In Quevedo we learned that "where there is no justice (democracy), it is dangerous to be right.  The January hill will last until the autumn of this year - may the EU protect us with its manna of millions!
