Sánchez and his rush to legislate

All legislators, whether out of pride, prurience or necessity, tend to be in a hurry to ensure that their legal contributions see the light of day soon. In order to avoid acting with excessive speed, especially when there is no hurry to do so, our Constitution and other Organic Laws set out a series of procedures for the implementation and application of such legislation. But, as is often the case, the law is made, the trap is made, and therefore there are always exceptions that lead us to legislate more quickly, even hastily, when the situation or the demands of the issue make it advisable.

It is clear that the faster we legislate, the fewer obligatory and binding or non-binding filters the law in the making will encounter when it is approved and subsequently comes to light. 

Filters, which were not placed in the legislative path by chance, by chance or by annoyance, but are there precisely to guarantee that the quasi-immense powers of the executive when it comes to legislating must be submitted to the opinion or critical judgement of other bodies such as the General Council of the Judiciary or the Council of State, which may question the democratic validity or the inconvenience of confrontation with other previously approved legislation, not yet repealed and, therefore, in force at the time of placing this new law in the legal limelight.

Applying emergency procedures when this is not justified at all is a real blunder or taking the short cut and can lead to the Executive issuing regulations that are then easily overturned, or at the very least, highly criticised, by the Constitutional Court, as has already happened, or other judicial bodies, and therefore constitute yet another blot on the copybook of a government that does not cease in its determination to legislate at will, at night and with a certain amount of malice aforethought. Although it often happens, it is totally in vain that the little freedom of expression and press with a certain degree of freedom bring to light the instantaneous projects as soon as the first details of what the government is trying to fit into our heads by the stroke of a pen are leaked.   

Mistakes or oppositions that in practice become illegal, more obvious or that lead to declarations of unconstitutionality of facts or acts regulated by the government, with full impunity and in many cases, knowing that they were illegal or unlawful with complete certainty; but that while they are declared as such, they have already had their effect, borne their fruit or led citizens to situations of defencelessness and abuse that are never justified, much less reversed with acts of reconciliation or just and necessary compensation. 

Examples of this can be found everywhere; situations that despite their seriousness, are ignored with total disregard and without even acknowledging that they were the result of a mistake or a miscalculated need. Not a single word of repentance, not the slightest request for an apology or assumption of responsibility, and what is much worse, not a moment of repudiation or protest on the part of the citizen who has seen his rights violated on several occasions.  

Nothing happens, nobody asks for excuses or gives explanations; moreover, these serious errors or abuses provoked premeditatedly, apparently, do not have any kind of repercussion on the intention to vote or on the decrease in the number of voters who would blindly return to vote for a government incapable of rectifying, insistent on error, abuse and prevarication; which resorts to these artifices or ruses to favour its manoeuvres or hidden agendas, or worse, to satisfy the demands of those who are declared or who themselves declare themselves to be enemies of Spain.

Resorting to clichés such as normalisation, modernisation, or equalisation with the rest of the countries around us, when in the majority of cases it is not true, is a shabby, empty resource full of insane intention because it is only done with the aim of deceiving the inept who know nothing about anything, the conformist who lives on the bread that is given to him every month or the recalcitrant follower who believes everything because his uncontrolled followerism leads him to swallow all kinds of millstones that are put in front of him. And I say nothing if it is done as a justification for the "appeasement" of territories in the hands of former terrorists or coup plotters, today Sánchez's collaborators in order to keep him in his seat.  

The use of the emergency procedure is so frequent that, except for those cases where, despite being an electoral or coalition commitment, there is no real desire to legislate, everything is done in this way, shortening deadlines, abusing Royal Decrees, draft laws and all kinds of tricks to get rid of the filters that the legislator put in place to prevent what we are experiencing now from happening. 

Today the government no longer does anything to conceal its legislative hunger for its own benefit and in favour of those who support it. The paradox is that it is even they, the enemies of Spain, who dictate the content of the laws they want to publish.  

Spain is like this, a sea of people who no longer think about their homeland, their country or the morality of people, the laws and their correct application for the sake of coexistence, democracy and the good of appearing, being or being.  Conformism and passivity are two invincible characteristics of today's Spaniards. We don't care about anything, even if there is nothing to eat and we have to resort to the hunger queues, even if we are out of work and collecting unemployment benefits, but we have a contract in our pocket that says we are discontinuous permanent employees because we only worked a few months ago and we have to wait for this or similar manna to fall again. 

If bread and circuses were invented by the Romans, to calm their population when politics showed great signs of weakness; we are back to business as usual again, sponsoring the broadcasting of any kind of free sports or football, if we are able to last at least a little while competing, so that while we follow the little ball on the grass and 20 people in short pants run after it, the government, with its back and its back to us, is not only sponsoring the broadcasting of free sports, but also of football; The government, behind our backs and at night, will stick us in the back with laws that will soon prove to be hard to swallow or even unconstitutional, and that the courts will undoubtedly take care of overturning.  

Haste has never been a good advisor, it tends to bring disorder and a lot of discomfort; Abusing them to justify the unjustifiable, plunges the people into a dullness before the legislative maelstrom of an executive, which makes up for its deficiencies, fears or debts in a series of unbearable dullards, which instead of favouring the citizens or making Spain greater, diminish it, impoverish it, impoverish it, and even destroy it, they dwarf, impoverish, divide or fracture it and give wings to all those who despise it or spit on it, in all frankness and without hiding their intentions, however bad, dastardly or despicable they may be or appear to be.
