IN VISUPS OF THE NATIONAL PARTY

We witness unbelieving these days, the eve of the celebration of the National Day, the unfortunate attitude of separatists and populists who reach the top of the groove by placing Indian flags on balconies and facades, arguing that the Conquest of America was nothing more than a genocide , Wanting to open the municipal offices as if it were a working day or refusing to attend the different official events that are organized in different parts of Spain.

However, the attacks on the National Holiday is simply one more step to achieve the main objective that these political formations have set as their goal, an objective that is none other than to end the essence of Spain.

Wherever these groups rule, the interpretation of the National Anthem has been eliminated; Is sanctioned for speaking or writing in Spanish; The Flag is removed where they can; Remove portraits or busts from His Majesty the King; etc. Any outrage is worth to achieve the goal.

If they have a chance, in a sample of the worst education, they whistle the interpretation of the National Anthem or the arrival of His Majesty the King to any football stadium and many more things that are in everyone's mind, not counting the insults and grievances Of those brave men who, hidden behind the masks of social networks, offer to anyone who does not think like them. Suffice the recent example of Adrian the child. All these events do not happen even in Sierra Leone to name one of the most backward countries on the planet.

But there is more; It is necessary to erase in a stroke all vestiges of the traditions most rooted in the sentiment of the Spanish people: bullfights, celebrations of Holy Week, Christmas, etc. Everything that smells to Spain, these people want to charge it by saying, roughly, that they are remnants of the Franco regime, something that disappeared not more or less than forty-one years ago.

And if anyone thinks that these are not traditions deeply rooted in the Spanish feeling that pass through Valencia on the dates of the offering to Our Lady of the Forsaken; By Saragossa on the occasion of its celebrations in honor to Our Lady of the Pillar; By Madrid or Pamplona in their taurine fairs; By Sevilla, Zamora, Malaga, Vivero, Ferrol, Valladolid, to mention some examples, the arrival of Holy Week or just such a day as tomorrow in which thousands of Spaniards will witness the National Day parade. Let them come to see whether or not these celebrations are rooted in the popular sentiment of Spain.

Wherever some of these groups govern, everything that smells of Spain is systematically suppressed or simply not supported. No subsidies are granted, acts are prohibited, the assistance of Municipal Banners is denied, the use of public spaces is limited, etc. It is indifferent that they are activities with popular support or economic profitability, the only thing that matters to them is to go ahead with their plan looking for the way to eliminate Spain and what She means.

This is a lesson that we should all learn Spanish well for successive occasions.

For me, as for many millions, being Spanish is one of the few serious things that can be in this world and that if God our Lord gave me the option to enjoy a new life, I just ask you to allow me To be Spanish again, belonging to which I feel deeply proud.
