Rufián warns against the violence of Vox and a spokesperson for the PP joins the protest and constitutes a worthy exception to the traditional right, which since the arrival of Abascal has joined its culture wars, imitated its forms and assumed some of its more reactionary policies. Without the complicity, silence and government agreements signed with the far right, it would have been impossible to get to this point.
A Vox MP reprimands Martina Velarde of Podemos: “Have you taken the pill?
One day they claim Francoism as an era of “progress and reconciliation,” and the next day they reprimand a Podemos deputy. This is the last thing of the week, but since their arrival on the political scene, there have been countless scary gestures and expressions. A lot. Their language is foul, insulting, thuggish, intimidating and always violent. They spread it between the walls of the hemicycle then vomit it out with their slamming on social networks.
We are of course talking about Vox. You know, for ultra MP Manuel Mariscal: “Thanks to social networks, many young people are discovering that the post-civil war stage was not a dark stage as this government sells us, but rather a stage of reconstruction , progress and reconciliation for the country. unity.” Never before have such explicit apologies for dictatorship been presented in democracy and in Parliament. Never before have we heard so much nonsense in favor of the infected playground that the network has become. And never before have so many crude expressions and so much contempt led to the collapse of truth and democratic coexistence in this country. And they are, as Gabriel Rufián warns, “more emboldened than ever.” .
“If we don’t put our foot on the wall, they will eat us,” warned the spokesperson of the ERC, the President of the Chamber, Francina Armengol, on Thursday to attract attention after another ultra , Pedro Fernández Hernández, shouted “take the pill of combat” to the Podemos parliamentarian, Martina Velarde, when she finished her intervention on the platform to reject a proposal from Vox in which she demanded the repeal of the Law on Democratic Memory.
The gesture of the PP spokesperson, María Jesús Moro, who wanted, hand on heart, to express her sincere support for Velarde was also particularly relevant: “Martina, all my support and consideration for you and for all women because “We are not going to tolerate it. Words which were applauded on both sides of the hemicycle, including by the Podemos deputies, and which also show that the entire right is not ready to give up, or to remain silent, or to succumb to so many ‘indignity.

Throughout this period, Moro has been a worthy exception to the right of the PP, which, since the arrival of Vox, has joined its culture wars, copied its speeches, imitated its forms and assumed some of its its most reactionary policies. Without the complicity, silence and government agreements that the people of Feijóo signed with the far right, it would have been impossible to get to where we are.
We are not faced with the logic of an ideological confrontation but rather a conflict in which each different opinion is fought with a permanent demonization and delegitimization of the adversary and an increase in political and digital violence which will one day give us a discontent that we will all feel. regret. . It will happen in Parliament or in the streets, but the toxic atmosphere of public conversation sends more than worrying signals. And then, when it happens, many, including those who contributed to it, by action or omission, will wonder how and why they could have looked the other way and reached such despicable extremes as those we hear every day , and not just in the mouths of political leaders. Also on radio, television and digital media.
The traditional right is complicit, it is responsible and there will come a day when Feijóo, for having followed the steps set by the most ultra sector of his party, will no longer recognize himself in the mirror. Or yes, because maybe those who argue that all this quagmire of aggression he splashes into with Abascal’s men are always right was his true comfort zone. He should be reminded that hatred is almost always the prelude to violence and that the latter already appears in some of its multiple versions. The sexist, of course, even if his partners deny it. That of digital technology, against which public policies must be adopted urgently, of course.
And yes, at this rate, if no one says enough!, they will eat us.
