These days, Spain is on the buzz all over Europe because of two events that negatively label our brand: racism on football fields and vote buying in elections. We are moving away from European democracies and moving closer to countries in North Africa or Latin America, where weak and poorly structured democracy allows everything. Even coups. He was a former vice president Pablo Iglesias who predicted one of them in Madrid, organized by the right against Podemos and Bildu. Poor democracy of such characters as he, Irene Montero or Ione Belarra, does not bode well for our state, which allowed them to go so far. They never won the election to get into the Council of Ministers, they were able to do it through the back door, because our guarantee legislation seems to withstand everything. Even allowing killers who couldn’t get a taxi driver’s license or become a civil servant due to their criminal past to become mayors, councilors, or presidents of an autonomous community.

This lack of a democratic culture makes us pretend that we are a country protected from racism in sports, but only in theory, not in practice. Seventeen years ago and after the player was harassed Samuel It’o in La Romareda, in Zaragoza, the Observatory of Violence, Racism and Intolerance in Sport was created by law, which has not met once for more than 9 years. It is all appearance, all facade. As with the corruption in the Spanish Football Federation or the purchase of Barça referees, we all know what is happening and that nothing will change.

This happened again with the purchase of votes in different places in Spain, how is it possible that the last procedure, the most important, the delivery of a ballot with your vote to the post office, does not require the presentation of your ID? For years we have made it easy for the mafias of some parties to manipulate the election results, in Melilla they have been doing this for decades and those who have been jailed for this have made agreements with the PSOE again before they did it with Gil because it is important to manage the state budget, and not with those with whom the offense is committed. Achieving power is the goal no matter what.

Spanish democracy is on a helping breath, a vote without a vote every four years will not revive it if we don’t act.

Over the past five years, our country has weakened before Morocco, before Europe and before the United States. We have lost the independence of countless state institutions that were from the state and now from Sanchismo, the list is endless: the Accounts Chamber, the State Prosecutor, the Prosecutor, the CIS, the Constitutional Court, the Unions, RTVE, the National Institute of Statistics, Indra.

This way of interacting with state bodies undermines the foundation of democracy, the separation of powers has never been so mortally wounded. The unchecked power of a government that absorbs everything creates a sense of impunity for those who hold public office in it, so in Melilla those who bought votes were drug dealers who moved to the most disadvantaged, while in Mojacar, a summer resort Sanchez, these were the very positions that were on party lists that allegedly offered money, rent payments, or municipal jobs in exchange for a handful of votes. And from the PSOE headquarters in the city.

Worst of all, perhaps nothing will happen, with none of them there will be a demonstrative sanction. What has already happened in the final decision of the Supreme Court is that in 2021 I sentenced the General Secretary of the PSOE of Melilla and the President of the Coalition for Melilla to two years in prison, neither setting foot in prison nor mustafa aberchan To this day, he continues to pull the strings in his party and agrees with the same socialists with whom he rigged votes by mail, holding rallies with Errejon and the Compromise and making agreements with Yolanda Diaz. Everyone cares about his legion of Muslim followers, no one cares about his corrupt past.

Spanish democracy is on a suspense, a vote without a vote every four years will not revive it unless we Spaniards defend it resolutely from destruction. The time has come to rise up, without violence, but with determination, to restore a democratic Spain that many no longer even remember.
