The Coronavirus Throws Spain into a Communist Well

For almost three months now, Spaniards have been subjected to an arbitrary emergency order that has put democracy on hold.

Never trust a socialist. And never trust an idiot. But never, never, never trust a socialist who is such an idiot that he seems harmless. Nicolás Maduro is the paradigm: A guy who is allergic to big books and claims that Chávez talks to him through a little bird (as Maduro himself claimed) seemed too dumb to be dangerous. But years go by, and in the Helicoide prison in Caracas, opposition leaders are still tortured with electric shocks to the testicles.

In Spain, the social-Communist government of Sánchez-Iglesias has yet to send dissident citizens to prison, but it is treating them with (figuratively speaking, thank God) extended electroshock therapy to the balls. The coronavirus is of Communist origin. Perhaps that is why it immediately allied itself with the Spanish government. Under the pretext of national security, the government has kept Spain in an unnecessary and illegitimate state of alarm for months, an exceptional arrangement allowed by our Constitution that permits the extreme and arbitrary limitation of fundamental rights and freedoms.
