In the same way that in February 2019 the Spaniards massively concentrated in Madrid's Plaza de Colón

in defense of national sovereignty

and against the negotiation of the Government of

Pedro Sánchez

with the secessionists - who even demanded the presence of

rapporteurs

in a extra-parliamentary dialogue table- today there are plenty of reasons for civil society to return to the streets to demand an end to the endless chain of concessions to the independentists with which

it is am

enacting the very integrity of the nation

.

And do it, as you have written on our pages

Cayetana Alvarez de Toledo

, "without qualms or qualms"

.

Because it is not about the defense of some acronyms to the detriment of others or an opportunistic mobilization.

Leaving aside the legitimate ideological and practical differences, citizens must become aware that what is at stake is the territorial unit on which our constitutional order is based, which has allowed the peaceful and fruitful coexistence of all Spaniards. since the Transition.

It is therefore to be celebrated the initiative of

the civic platform Union 78

, driven

Rosa Diez

,

Fernando Savater

Y

Maria San Gil

, among others, who have called for

next June 13

a rally in the symbolic square of Madrid to protest against the unworthy pardons to the coup plotters of 1-O that is preparing the

Coalition Executive of PSOE and United We Can

annul the judgment of the Supreme Court

that condemned the pro-independence leaders for sedition and embezzlement, despite the fact that neither they have requested it, nor are they worthy of it as they have publicly reiterated their intention to re-convene a new illegal referendum and even to

unilaterally declare independence

.

With this initiative, Pedro Sánchez and the rest of the ministers of his Government demonstrate that the only thing that interests them is to maintain the pacts with those who can guarantee them power, even at the cost of violating the spirit of our legislation and

question the separation of powers, the foundation of all rule of law.

In this sense, the promoters of Unión 78 have wanted to transfer a

explicit support for the judiciary

, whom they consider to be "attacked by Sánchez", and have made clear their defense of "equality before the law of all Spaniards without exception."

It is at least paradoxical that in an advanced democracy a postulate as essential as that has to be vindicated, but

the sectarian policies of this government

they stop showing contempt for citizen dignity.

An example of this is the approach of ETA prisoners to prisons in the Basque Country, while it is being applied

a regime of forgetfulness and humiliation of the victims of terrorism

that, like those of the savage Vic attack, they are only remembered 30 years later with an imperceptible plaque.

PP, Cs, Vox and

some relevant and historical personalities of the PSOE

They have already guaranteed their presence in Colón.

But it must be civil society that shows its radical rejection of a sectarian and dissolving government.
