Independent views in freedom
Spain languishes dragged down by its lack of self-esteem and its perpetual and sterile internal struggles. Detached from its vital sustenance, the nation is gradually weakening, and the wickerwork that holds it together is slowly falling apart.

The recent Supreme Court ruling allowing the conditional implementation of covid passports as a requirement to enter certain establishments contradicts repeated rulings of regional High Courts of Justice and even a previous ruling of the Supreme Court itself (four weeks earlier!) with arguments so far removed from logic and science that they produce a certain …
