The Spanish genocide in America is nothing more than a “black legend” for the popular who, instead, talk about the current “internal civil wars without weapons” caused by nationalism and the left. And so that there was no shortage of weapons, Álvarez de Toledo played ETA‘s wild card, in a week in which the terrorist group returned to the fore – thirteen years after its dissolution – due to an error by the PP: “The “Spanish rule of law defeated ETA and the Process, and then the PSOE came and rescued them”.
Cristòfor Colom was not “identitarian, nationalist and segregationist”, three adjectives that the popular deputy considers to define the PSC well. In fact, “the only non-identity party is the PP”.
Over time, all Spanish colonies in Latin America ended up becoming independent from Spain (without a referendum). In fact, Álvarez de Toledo herself was born in independent Argentina. However, he hopes never to meet a Catalan state and for this October 12 he is warning of a real risk of a referendum on self-determination in Catalonia, authorized by Pedro Sánchez, who he is worried about and will soon end up meeting with Carles Puigdemont. The leader of the PP in Catalonia, Alejandro Fernández, has joined in asking to “be alert for democracy” with the aim of combating “the authoritarian temptation in Catalonia and Spain”. how Leaving behind a dichotomy that the populists have devoted themselves to constantly exploiting: real problems or debate of ideas? “As if they were exclusionary things”, he regretted to give value to the principles and to commit to ensuring that Puigdemont does not paint anything in Catalan politics.
