Vergüenza en el Parlamento balear
June 21, 2024

  • The Government plans to accuse the president of the Balearic Parliament, Gabriel Le Senne, of a hate crime following his expression of contempt towards the victims of the dictatorship.
  • Le Senne apologized for his behavior but did not step down.
  • The Popular Party and Vox approved the repeal of the autonomous democratic memory law.
  • Concerns are raised over how the far right has dragged the Popular Party into adopting a revisionist discourse.
  • The political tension climate in Spain is being fueled by the opposition in an attempt to wear down the government.

Conclusion: This political wear and tear and the incitement of hatred towards dictatorship victims is detrimental to society and political institutions. Respect for history and memory is crucial for a strong and healthy democracy.
