A few days after the July Spanish elections I wrote an article entitled “Spain on the edge of the cliff” in which I took for granted the pact between the Socialist Party (PSOE) and its separatist allies. Now that this has been consummated after a theatrical tug-of-war, no one can remain impassive or pretend any...

We often accuse the political class of lacking values, but are politicians an exception or do they merely reflect the lack of values (or, rather, virtues) of the society that votes for them? Can the average voter value truth or honesty, for example, yet vote for psychopaths, pathological liars and scoundrels?                 “The city is...

I rarely write about Spanish politics, but the frustration of the expectations created with respect to an alternation in government in the last general elections warrants a reflection.

As always, those who have made climate change their modus vivendi have taken advantage of the circumstance to retake the old term “global warming” and scare us with the apocalypse that never...

Spain is slowly rolling down the slope of history. Its best moments seem to be behind it and the constitutional edifice of 1978 – just another chapter in its long life – seems to be crumbling in slow motion. Is its decline the sole responsibility of the current government or is there a deeper problem?...

Enjoy your car, because after 2035 you will most likely not be able to afford one. Indeed, in the name of climate dogma, the EU has banned the sale of gasoline or diesel cars in 2035 with the exception of the very expensive “synthetic” gasoline, as demanded by Germany. And I ask myself, who is...

What do covid, climate change and the Ukrainian war have in common? First, that our politicians defend foreign or supranational political and economic interests to the detriment of the interests of their own citizens. Secondly, that the well-paid mass media engage in aggressive propaganda campaigns based on huge lies until the test of virtue of...
