A tweet from the president of the far-right Spanish group Vox, Santiago Abascal, paints it clearly: for the Spanish politician, our country is still called “Mexico” with J and its inhabitants are still “Mexicans”, also with J, that’s why neither It is strange that he includes us in that entelechy called by him “the Iberosphere”.
Abascal takes advantage of the success of his radical right-wing organization among Spaniards, fed up with corruption and the crisis, to launch an international crusade in Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina and now Mexico (spelled with X, which has something of a cross and Calvary, as the poem by Ricardo López Méndez says, although it is difficult for those stale characters to pronounce it).
The Madrid Charter is promoted by the Fundación Disenso, which Abascal founded in 2019, for “the defense of liberal democracy, the rule of law, the rule of law, the separation of powers, freedom of expression and private property ”, Although in reality it is a blanket to advance far-right causes with which those who see communists everywhere sympathize.
The “narcocommunism” has taken over Mexico, they say, and for this reason its rulers “embrace tyrants and protect drug traffickers.”
They are concerned that “the totalitarian ideas of communism are gaining strength. We must put aside our partisan differences and join forces to defend freedom, the rule of law and democracy. As we are doing today in Mexico, we will continue to publicize the Madrid Forum and invite all those leaders who oppose the communist tyranny to work together to face this threat ”.
They go against “groups that infiltrate the centers of power to impose the communist ideological agenda.”
This is what they call their anti-rights crusade, as they seek to end “suffocating political correctness” and that is why, instead of talking about sexist violence or violence against women, they propose to use “domestic violence”, which in Mexico is even criminal with 10 femicides that occur every day.
That is why they sympathize with Donald Trump and propose to build walls, as Abascal does, who asked to do so to stop the migrants from Ceuta and Melilla. Or as does the actor Eduardo Verástegui, a prominent figure who offered his support to both Jair Bolsonaro and Trump and who, at the same time, has become a central figure in Catholic activism. In the Senate forum, he proposed holding a great Congress for Life, which, in other words, would be a great anti-abortion meeting, because if the extreme rights coincide in something, it is in their obsession to decide and intervene in the lives of others in the name of a religion whose values rarely honor, to curb rights and freedoms, as has characterized the far right in history.
The forum in the Senate served to observe them, locate them and know that this right crusade is part of the Mexican reality, minority but real, and if our politicians cannot read it, they will soon be gaining more space at the polls.
