      <description><![CDATA[<p>The Vox parliamentary group presented a non-legislative proposal a few days ago so that "the unborn" counts as a member of the family unit. The proposal was rejected with the votes against from the left-wing parties and the abstention of the PP, even though the Government had initially shown itself "open" to studying the idea. Specifically, the Minister of Families, Social Welfare and Dependency Care, Sandra Fernández, was "willing" to consider this measure, currently driven by the government of the Community of Madrid, for its possible implementation in these fortunate Islands.Someone might ask what this "unborn conceived" is all about. Grammatically it is an absurd construction, but it is more or less what it seems: it refers to the creature that is gestating inside the mother's womb and that, therefore, has not yet been born. The fetus, in a word, but since the right/far-right finds that 'fetus' sounds ugly, they have looked for a name that they must find more elegant and that, as often happens in these cases, is monstrous. The unborn conceived, here you have it. The idea bears the stamp of the Ayuso stable, where our "peperam" always has its eyes fixed. Prohens was a bit of an <em>ayuser</em> in his time in Madrid politics, which as everyone knows is the good one, politics in capital letters. From time to time they import things of his: now a cut in immigrants' rights here, now racist statements there, all in good taste and typical of knowledgeable people. The unborn conceived, why not, is part of the family unit. The family unit is the complicated way of naming the family, which as is also known today can be in many ways, like ice cream, but in its strict sense, for our right-thinking right, it continues to be made up of dad, mom, sons and daughters. And the unborn conceived, as many as there are. It is an excellent idea that hopefully will one day prosper and be applied to the last consequences: by the same logic, deceased godfathers and godmothers should also be considered members of "the family unit". The unborn and the already buried: in this way we will achieve a very complete family unit. The initiative is no joke, but a direct attack on women's rights, and particularly on rights, reproductive ones, that the new right – the new right – has identified as targets to be eliminated. It is about carrying out the great regression, cutting as many rights as possible – for women, immigrants, the LGTBI collective, workers, linguistic and cultural minorities. Abortion, which had apparently become an established right in the legal systems of Western democracies, is once again faltering under the pressure of the global far-right onslaught, which has moved the pieces of what is called the political board many squares to the right. In this way, formations of recognized liberal tradition have shifted in Europe towards hard right positions. Now let's imagine what a formation of recognized Francoist tradition will do, and moreover, governing in minority with the support of an openly fascist party.We must not tire of saying it: what the PP and Vox are doing together is a journey to nowhere in which we are risking much more than we think. Even if they do not move forward (for the moment), when certain proposals are put on the table and poison public discourse, we have all already lost a little. Imagining delirious family units, taking steps backward in women's rights, or prohibiting non-residents from using public transport are first steps not towards the imaginary dictatorships that Ayuso claims Spaniards suffer from, but towards a very real and very dire authoritarianism.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>The fake duel between Prohens and Cañadas, a political example of the myth of eternal return, has made me seek refuge in Isabel Díaz Ayuso in search of strong emotions. I once heard a woman tell her sister: "We have to delete Intereconomía from Mom's television. She watches it all day and it makes her very angry!" We are that mother with Ayuso's videos. It infuriates me, but at the same time I feel an irresistible fascination for her empty eyes as they pour hatred from their mouths. Miguel Ángel Rodríguez has achieved sublime heights as a ventriloquist.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In all this fuss against the Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, the main issue is sometimes lost sight of. The accusation is that he leaked a real and true email in which a criminal confesses to having defrauded the Treasury and asks for a deal to reduce his sentence. García Ortiz is not accused of malfeasance, misappropriating other people's money, or using his position to enrich himself. This, for example, is included in the judge's report against former Finance Minister Cristóbal Montoro, who is not only under investigation for changing laws to benefit certain companies, but also publicly flaunted his knowledge of the tax situation of his opponents, and also of his co-religionists. In other words, he revealed secrets that he equally couldn't reveal, or threatened to do so.</p>]]></description>
