FOR A NOBLE SOCIALISM IN SPAIN

As expected, the 28-M elections in Spain have given the president, Pedro Sánchez, a serious tumble, but more than him it has been the PSOE that has been left standing in the ditch. We knew that the president's caesarism would lead socialist Spain, which of course continues to exist, to a precipice.

His caesarism and his compromises with pro-independence forces, communists and other factions that want to see Spain disunited have disappointed us, hurt us and fed us up.


We Spaniards have never wanted the socialist party to sink, but this time we have chosen not to vote for it so that the values of the resurrection towards a noble socialism emerge.

Pedro Sánchez has no future in this party that has become an insane mix of populism, left-wing radicalism and adulterated nationalism. He is like a North African “tchektchouka” that tastes indigestible to us. Everything fits on the plate.

For this reason, we believe that the initiative taken this week by some of the leaders of the so-called "old guard" is a laudable attempt to reinstall the PSOE where it always was: on the national left and in the center of the party. I am personally pleased that my colleague, Rafael Fali Delgado, is part of that group organized around the Fernando de los Ríos Collective.

The socialist defeat this Sunday is not that of the old guard, but that of a man who intends to keep the reins at any cost. That is the great defect of Caesarism that is resorted to by mixing it with a populism in which very few believe.

We must rebuild on what is still unscathed, which is not little. And we shouldn't wait for the generals because the bump will be even worse. You have to realize that a single pretty face does not serve to refresh an alliance. The current PSOE has to shed its "Frankistenian" skin and prepare for a journey through the desert.
