On Coup d'etats, dead dictators and living tyrants

"In the history of Venezuela, of all Latin America, and in the memory of all the men and women of the world who have sought the truth among the misinformation of the great media, Hugo Chávez will remain as the leader who improved the conditions of the lives of the most disadvantaged Venezuelans, which impelled in an irreversible way the Latin American unity and that gave spirits and hopes to humanity that a more just world, outside of capitalism, is possible. That is why Venezuelans continued to vote and their revolution will continue. Many Spaniards will have been left without knowing all that. That is the media crime from which history will not absolve us "
Pascual Serrano

Recently, in light of everything that is happening in Venezuela, we have been able to hear from Pablo Casado (PP) some absolutely shameful statements, unbecoming of a minimally decent politician. The truth is that it is not the first time that he pronounced them, because he comes with that string since the Government of Pedro Sánchez made the decision to exhume the remains of the dictator Francisco Franco, to take them to another place. Basically, the idea of ​​Pablo Casado's claim to Pedro Sánchez is that "do not worry so much about dead dictators, and reject living dictators." Evidently, with that of dictator dead he refers to Franco, and with that of "living dictators" he is referring to Nicolás Maduro, but also, for example, to Cubans Raúl Castro or Miguel Díaz-Canel. As we say, only the glimpse of comparison between all of them, the mere attempt of mental association between one and the other is already an exercise in political and mental misery without limits. I also suppose that in his classification of "dead dictators" he will include Hugo Chávez and Fidel Castro, following his perverse logic. That is, for Pablo Casado (and I suppose that for all the PP, as well as C's and Vox, that is, for all the rancid, casposa and reactionary right, coarse, intolerant, ignorant and malicious that we have the misfortune to suffer in this country) is equal Franco than Hugo Chávez before, or that Nicolás Maduro now.

 We know it will be a failed attempt, but even so, as we can repress, we will try to illustrate to Pablo Casado, just a little bit, in a very summarized way, the difference between one and the other. You see Pablo: the Franco regime in Spain had a balance of 40 years of terror, death and repression, 30,000 stolen children, 80,000 opponents killed during the Civil War (caused by a fascist coup), 125,000 murdered between 1939 and 1975 (when he died the dictator), 480,000 persecuted and imprisoned republicans, 500,000 anti-Franco exiles, and 2,200,000 depurated, dismissed and seized during the regime. And it turns out that this "dead dictator" has been buried for 43 years in a mausoleum that he ordered to be built for his greater glory, based on slave labor, of the republican prisoners, a state heritage monument, and also, if all of it outside, accompanying his corpse, almost 35,000 bodies of ex-combatants of the Republic and the rebel side. Many of those corpses were taken there without even consulting their relatives. That "dead dictator" must be removed from there, for the democratic dignity of a country that needs Truth, Justice and Reparation for all victims and relatives of torture and genocide, of Franco's horror and barbarism. Franco was a criminal, fascist and fanatical military man, who systematically exterminated all the dissidence of the regime, and that caused an involution of Spain in all the orders as until then had not been seen, reversing all the political, social and economic advances that the II Republic had brought us.

And to this wicked military man, Mr. Casado, you intend to compare him, for example, with Hugo Chávez, another military man, but this one committed to his people, a brave, honest, revolutionary man who knew how to take his people to levels that had never been before. reached, in what refers to the reduction of poverty and illiteracy, social integration and the reduction of inequalities, tasks that have tried to continue his successor, Nicolás Maduro. Hugo Chávez did have the wood of a natural leader, charismatic, brave, intelligent, patriotic and savior of Latin America, who loved, fought and died for his people, and for the integration of the entire Southern Hemisphere, to face not only Northern Imperialism , but also to all its European allies, and international organizations that mistreated this Latin American region, especially the United States, which had converted it from the so-called Monroe Doctrine in its backyard, putting it at their service, looting and expolling it, as they had done all the previous Venezuelan governors. Hugo Chávez, as well as Fidel Castro, were gigantic and unequaled personalities, they are not "dead dictators", 


how do you brand them?

During their governments, according to data from ECLAC, poverty was reduced by 44%, social spending rose to 60% of all income received by the State, and inequality decreased by 18%, reaching the first place in the Latin countries with lower index of social inequality. Meanwhile, it made the rights to education, to health, to housing more accessible to the population. Just the opposite of what happens in Spain and throughout Europe, where they govern those leaders who have criticized and reviled Chávez so much, and who are the same ones who are now criticizing Maduro. Because Nicolás Maduro is not a "living tyrant", as you call them, Nicolás Maduro, Raúl Castro or Miguel Díaz-Canel, but true revolutionaries. With its virtues and its defects, they are not perfect, but they are light years away from the political leaders of other countries, without going any further than our Spanish political leaders, especially you, or Rivera, or Abascal, who, as I said the Great Wyoming, "they only see Coups of State in Catalonia".

That is what all those who want to end Chavez Venezuela, with the Bolivarian Revolution, say, but I think they will stay with the desire. For many clowns on the right and ridiculous coup plotters who rise, for many lies to pour, for many plans that pergueñen, no matter how aggressive their immoral speech, can not end the dignity of Chavism, which resists and will resist until the final victory . Venezuela is, today, as the gala village of Asterix and Obelix, which "resisted the invader", which in this case, transplanted into the 21st century, is the Yankee invader, the imperialist invader, who intends to continue with his misdeeds, implanting to blood and fire their perverse policies, and plundering the enormous natural resources of Venezuela (oil, gold, coltan ...). Chavismo has carried out more than 25 elections during its 20 years in Venezuela, and in most of them it has won, in clean, transparent, democratic and free elections. It has never been possible to prove fraud, among other things, because the international observers themselves (some as little suspicious of Chavistas as the Carter Foundation, of the former US President) have declared that the Venezuelan elections are among the most transparent in the world. So the coup d'etat was given by Franco in Spain, and now Juan Guaidó in Venezuela, although he has not taken the tanks to the street, Mr. Casado. They are the coup plotters, they are the tyrants.
