In an unprecedented way, Pedro Sanchez announced last Wednesday, in a letter to the citizens, that I needed to stop for five days and reflect on whether or not the honor of presiding over the Government of Spain was worth it with the burden of attacks, hatred, falsehoods, hoaxes and slander that both he and his family have suffered for ten years.
His reflection immediately turned into a question. to all Spaniards about what he called the ‘mud machine’, taking the concept of the philosopher Umberto Eco. Yes, For the first time, a president called us to reflect with him on verbal attacks and attacks, the spread of falsehoodsthe spurious use of Justice with inconsistent but media complaints and the role of false media that cloud public life with lies.
Actually, He questioned us about the value of democracy and the need to defend it or leave it in the hands of those who only aspire to power and are capable of anything to achieve it.
For five days in which we did not know if the president’s reflection would make him resign, a large part of society mobilized and he resolved that it was worth defending not only the president and his family, but also what we socialists had fought so hard for: democracy and freedom.
The president’s reflection and his continuity at the head of the GovernmentIt’s an opportunity that we must take advantage of to strengthen ourselves as a society, regenerate democracy, end the impunity of aggressors by adopting the necessary measures that return respect, tolerance and clean dialogue to the political conversation.
Pedro Sánchez questioned all of us, now it is up to us to turn the answer into facts.
