A Changing Spain
3/ The PP, currently in opposition until 2027, said it wants to introduce new crimes of authorities encouraging people to break the law, declaring independence, organising an illegal referendum and the prohibition of political parties that do those things.
4/ Vox said the PP was copying them on banning separatist parties.
5/ One of the girl’s at the hanging and bashing of the Sánchez doll on New Year’s Eve told El Español she had had two “spiritual regressions” to the Third Reich and had received family visits from aliens. She says she was an SS general in a former life.
6/ Madrid City Hall held a session to tell Ortega-Smith (Vox) off for “unacceptable intimidating and violent behaviour” the other day vs. Más Madrid councillor Eduardo Rubiño.
7/ Otega-Smith kept going anyway and accused the Mayor, Almeida (PP) of buying in to the soft socialist narrative on these matters.
8/ The vote was 52-5 against Ortega-Smith.
9/ Vox councillors abandoned the chamber. “We will leave this session because I don’t care at all about listning to you”, said Ortega-Smith: “given you don’t care at all about listening to me”.
10/ PSOE spokeswoman Reyes Maroto (until recently the Tourism Minister) said: “Vox is a cancer for our democracy and coexistence”.
11/ This video report for public broadcaster RNE caused a stir because the reporter in “the occupied West Bank”, Fran Sevilla, went to the house of Hamas senior leader Saleh al-Arouri’s relatives to see what was going on after Israel killed him in a missile strike in Beirut.
12/ The number of migrants reaching Spain’s southern and island coasts reached a new high in 2023: more than 56,000, an 82% increase vs. 2022. 40,000 of those turned up in the Canary Islands.

Tweet: “The reason people watched Tucker Carlson on Fox was for the monologues. That’s the only TV show I made a point of watching, and it was for that. After the monologue he would just be on in the background while I did chores or whatever. So for his new venture to be a success, he needs to recenter it around his monologues, giving analysis of politics and culture”.

An energetic movement with papers without even touching anyone is considered "unacceptable violence", but amnesty hundreds of savages who set fire to the streets of Barcelona (and seriously injured police officers), and their bosses, legislators who broke the laws by declaring independence of a region of the country, all this so that a man has the 7 votes he needs to be prime minister having lost the elections, is "peace."
This is starting to look like "1984."

Un movimiento enérgico con papeles sin ni siquiera tocar a nadie se considera "violencia inaceptable", pero amnistiar cientos de salvajes que incendiaron las calles de Barcelona (e hirieron gravemente a policías), y a sus jefes, legisladores que se saltaron las leyes declarando la independencia de una región del país, todo esto para que un señor tenga los 7 votos que necesita para ser primer ministro habiendo perdido las elecciones, es la "paz".
Esto empieza a parecer "1984".
