María Dolores Cospedal, secretary general
of Partido Popular, the ruling party in Spain, recently stated that the booing
of the Spanish nationalist anthem and against the King of Spain—as done
recently by Catalans and Basques—will be prohibited by law and the perpetrators might incur
fines.
The editor of the Spanish newspaper La
razón, Paco Marhuenda, stated with no ambiguity that booing to a head of state
or a king is a “sign of totalitarianism."
Journalist Víctor Alexandre wonders where
all this hatred smoldering within the ruling party will lead to. Apparently PP’s
members are incapable of standing such kinds of protests at an international
football match, broadcasted all over the world. What Catalans protest about is
that they are being exploited by a corrupt, central government, and the fact
that they pay more than their fair share in taxes, which does not result in
equitable investment on their future and wellbeing.
