A necessary celebration
In 2025 it will mark a significant moment in the history of Spain: 50 years since the disappearance of dictator Francisco Franco. This event not only commemorates his death, but also symbolizes the transition to a democratic system that has allowed Spanish society to enjoy fundamental freedoms.
The price of freedom
Democracy we live today is the result of a long way full of sacrifices. Many people suffered repression during the dictatorship, and it is vital that we recognize their suffering. Collective memory must serve in order not to forget that freedom is not a gift, but a good that we must constantly defend.
The reaction to the right
It is worrying to see how some political formations, such as the PP and Vox, seem to ignore this part of our history. His lack of condemnation to the dictatorial age and his tendency to look forward without facing the mistakes of the past are reasons of restlessness. Ignoring the past may lead to repeating it.
The dangers of intolerance
In a world where intolerance gains ground, it is essential to remember the importance of peaceful coexistence. The normalization of hate speech, such as homophobia, sexism and racism, is an alarming sign that reminds us that democratic values must be firmly defended.
The global influence
The trends of the far right in Europe and the United States are a reflection of a deeper crisis. The presence of extremist parties in democratic governments must be a warning for all of us. Handling and lies cannot have a place in a democratic system.
A commitment to the future
The Socialist Party reaffirms its commitment to the defense of the freedoms achieved after the dictatorship. It is essential to educate new generations about the importance of preserving the rule of law and rejecting any form of hate speech. Transparency and truth must be the pillars of our society.
A look toward tomorrow
The commemoration of the 50 years of freedom is not only a reminder of the past, but also an invitation to build a better future. Our democracy needs to be taken care of and protected, and it is the responsibility of all of us to ensure that the values of respect and justice prevail.
