The opposition that Spain needs
For two decades, ever since President Zapatero arrived, Spain has been in an alarming state of decadence that affects institutions, education, economy, unemployment, debt, its overseas image, inequality in the eyes of the law, separation of powers, national unity, illegal immigration, and legal and military security. We pay Scandinavian taxes for some African public services. A pessimist? Graveyards are filled with optimists and the blind.
Here are some data to demonstrate this: debt has multiplied by four. On average, every year the Zapatero, Rajoy and Sánchez governments have put us in dept by some 60,000 million euros, spent on items that did not appear on budgets. Spanish unemployment is twice the mean of the EU. Its GDP has not grown after deducting inflation. There is one civil servant to every 14 Spaniards, whereas a wealthy federal country like Germany has one to every 40 citizens. The Spanish fiscal pressure is the highest in the EU. Its extremely high national insurance contributions make it difficult to contract workers, which is why private activities and the middle class are constantly decreasing
Public universities now act as crèches because Spanish youths do not wish to work in the primary or manufacturing sectors, not even as waiters and waitresses. The Spanish birth rate has alarmingly dropped in the last 15 years. Young couples have pets instead of babies. Salaries of scarce jobs do not allow most youths to leave their parents’ home, and if they do, they have to share flats. Socialist governments give them small payments and free transport (so youths vote them), but do not produce the tax conditions, legal security or affordable national insurance contributions to invest and for them to find employment
According to analysed European Eurostat statistical data from the last observatory of the labour market, 36% of Spanish university students do a job beneath what they are qualified to do. This means that of the 1.25 million public university students who are subsidised 80% of university costs, too many are left over and their training does not adapt to the real market. Yet Spanish universities squander money in degrees and teachers, and digitisation does not reduce administration posts.
We do not have enough doctors and nurses because they leave Spain to work abroad, but thousands of teleworking administration posts are surplus and attend to citizens increasingly worse. Primary health care is saturated and we are attended to against the clock. How is it possible that Spain has 2.5-fold more civil servants per capita than Germany and almost everything works badly? This question is rhetorical, and the answer evidently lies in there being some 7.7 million Spaniards who vote socialists, and these, along with separatists, have led the country to ruin and to Spain disappearing as a nation.
Of course we can vote for whoever party we wish, but we are responsible for whom we vote. Hitler won elections, and he ended up destroying Germany and millions died. The Spanish King does not want to know what they are preparing for him. He is asleep with awards, uniforms, protocols and fanfares, and will have to pack his bags and go to live in exile like his great-grandfather did.
In 10 months time, a terrorist will be Lehendakari (head of the autonomous Basque government), and shortly a coup leader will once again walk around Barcelona. The present Sánchez government will have once again breached the rule of law by pardoning thousands of people high up in the coup autonomous Catalan government by approving consultations about Catalonia separating from Spain and about financing separatist areas
According to the Spanish Constitution, the Spanish army is obliged to maintain national integrity (its Article 8). We neither see nor expect our army. We should not be surprised that we have gone from being an empire to a country at risk of extinction where the communists, separatists and terrorists who are forbidden in Germany govern us from the Moncloa Palace.
What is the Sánchez government’s political opposition doing?
The vast majority of Spanish autonomous communities in large-, medium- and small-sized cities are governed by PP in collaboration with VOX. However of the two PP souls, the social-democratic one is hegemonic in most Spanish territory and is led by Feijóo. The liberal soul of the Madrid autonomous community, governed by Isabel Díaz Ayuso, is an exception. Feijóo’s ideology favours the fact that certain cases emerge, like that of Guardiola in Extremadura and of Prohens in the Balearics.
Some days ago in view of VOX proposing making the free choice of language possible in the Balearic Parliament, PP representatives abstained so this would not occur despite its pact to govern with VOX. They wish to remain moderate, modern, equidistant, centrists. They are young and we must forgive them because they are clueless
Marga Prohens spoke in Catalan/Majorcan in the Senate so people see that she acts against what those who vote her wish. Are Feijóo and Prohens unaware that, by means of language, pan-Catalanism is indoctrinated against Spain at schools by separatist member teachers placed by separatist F. Armengol? And not just in the Balearics, but also in the autonomous Valencian community. If they do not remove the language restriction for future civil servants to work in these autonomous communities, then they are discriminated from other Spaniards for language reasons, which completes the division of Spain.
PP attempts to play the role of job centres and to avoid sharing governments with VOX, like that of Valencia but, in the end, it has had to surrender part of the government to VOX, just as Prohens will in the Balearics and like Guardiola did in Extremadura.
Another serious disregard in both the Balearics and Valencia is the passivity shown to replace those responsible at their local TV channels, which is an instrument to indoctrinate. If this is not done, in 10 years we will have a separatism problem like that in Catalonia. They must be aware that indoctrinated youths arrive at university, and many are electorally won over by receiving small socialist payments and free transport.
Feijóo, and he is not the only one, believes that governing well is winning elections. For him, placing people from his party is more important than Spain. Governing well is not the equivalent to winning elections or investiture speeches. The simplest way to identify poor management is when organisation is worse at the end of a government’s period that it was at the start, and debt rises. Governing based on spending and leaving debt is simply a matter of buying votes with others’ taxes, which is pure tyrannical embezzlement.
In Spain’s serious diseased state, all local or autonomous governments should; perform the cultural battle and offer linguistic freedom; care about educational and informative contents so that no-one is indoctrinated; reduce superfluous public spending (advisors, official cars, subsidies); cut local and autonomous taxes; enable land to be supplied for private firms to build housing; simplify administrative obstacles; eliminate all subsidising to trade unions; extend the time spent by the public administration on attending to the public, but without taking on more personnel; serve citizens by forgetting populist policies; improve the country and forget false inertia. If after all this a party loses, it is of no importance because what must be done has to be done.
We should: forget environmentalisms, Agenda 2030, green or animal taxes; encourage setting up all kinds of firms and private economic activities; reduce superfluous administration posts by amortisation; eliminate teleworking jobs in a normal healthcare situation. Citizens need to notice that there is a difference between social governments and those from PP and/or VOX. The opposition should inform citizens that they are not parties that place their own people, which is what PSOE and separatist parties do. Many local and autonomous centres of PP power can and must do this.
It is necessary to be daring to transform and to show willingness to serve rather than being served. Feijóo is insincere and ambiguous. He is too ambiguous (hides to take advantage) and is insincere. All this is noted. He applies too much discursive cunningness and is not natural. The average Spaniard cannot be identified with Feijóo because he stays in his shell and has too many plans. He would improve if he forgot about winning and took note of what he must do. His advisors are lost, as we saw at the end of the last electoral campaign.
In the meantime, the real national female leader may arrive, Isabel Díaz Ayuso in Madrid. She is the only who dares to repair the harm caused by Zapatero and Sánchez, who wish to end by destroying Spain and eliminating the monarchy, and neither Feijóo nor the Spanish King is able to provide what Spain needs
PP and Spain need someone with transforming power who dares to consider the cultural battle every day. When Esperanza Aguirre attempted to lead PP in 2008, the Valencian PPV party did not support her and gave that victory to Rajoy. Spain lost one decade due to corroding and destructive socialism. Will the same happen with Ayuso? That would be no surprise because PP certainly finds it hard selecting a woman, even when she is the only woman capable of twisting the separatist socialism arm. Let’s hope it is not too late.
