This morning I felt like Christiane, the star of Good Bye, Lenin!, who goes into a coma just before the fall of the wall and, when she comes to eight months later, her son redecorates her Berlin apartment and even puts videos on it of late newscasts so that they believe that nothing has changed in the country, so that they do not suffer a relapse. I have experienced a similar feeling after reading the Vox program for these elections.
What’s more, I turned on the television to see if it was true and I began to see black and white images of the Spanish postwar period, which made my heart race. The confusion lasted a few seconds, the one it took me to discover that it was a documentary from La 2.
As the media thing has been a little upset lately with so much art click bait and fake news on the part, I have consulted the serious press to see if the proposal was true. And yes, I was going to mass, so I broke out in a cold sweat. Vox proposes a unitary State, in which the autonomous model would be suppressed, so that the central government would recover all powers. Parties, NGOs and associations that seek to destroy territorial unity would be outlawed.
All undocumented immigrants would be expelled, care centers for unaccompanied minors would be closed, who would be sent to their country, and a naval blockade would be established to prevent the arrival of small boats. The primacy of European Justice over the Spanish one would be rejected and the Criminal Code would be changed to recover the crime of sedition, in addition to incorporating that of treason.
Segregation by sex in schools would be supported and the deeds and feats of our national heroes would be included in the school syllabi. Legislation on equality, including gender violence, would be ended. Abortion and euthanasia laws would be repealed. The Paris Agreement on climate change would be abandoned. And I’m not going on to make it seem like I’m subjecting you to a rereading of the NoDo from the 1950s.
I do not know what face Feijóo has made when reading it. El País describes the program as an ordago to the PP. I would call it a kick in the parts. Yesterday it seemed to me an attack on freedoms even Cine de Barrio.
