At first glance, the issue of immigration falls squarely within the realm of arithmetic: roughly 50 million people live within the Spanish borders, and 8,200 million live outside them, the vast majority of whom in countries that are poorer and more unstable than our own. Therefore, since 8,200 > 50, the pressure is structural, and...

Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Spain has left indelible memories. For Catholics like myself, the Vigil in Lima Square in Madrid will always hold a special place in our memories. To witness half a million joyful young people in Madrid’s huge Paseo de la Castellana avenue go from chanting “Viva!” and singing to falling silent...

In my latest series of articles, I have been analyzing the Five Experiments that Western societies are carrying out as if they were indisputable advances of civilization, and therefore their results are not being tested objectively. These experiments, which are historically very recent, are the exorbitant increase in the size of the State; a gigantic...

In recent articles, I have been explaining how Western societies are conducting five historically very recent experiments which are considered indisputable advances of civilization and whose results, therefore, are not being subjected to objective judgment. The first four experiments, already analyzed, are the exorbitant increase in the size of the State, which has led to...

The mirages typical of deserts are a good metaphor for politics and war in the Middle East, where nothing is what it seems. It is a land of hardened hearts, atavistic hatreds and artificial borders decided in distant chambers. It is a land where peace is only a truce whose brevity prevents forgiveness from taking...
