Dirty look with the clean law

The cave is never happy. They roared so much against the disintegration of Spain by separatist movements, and now that they have the opportunity to demographically consolidate a state with a negative natural growth balance with measures such as the regularization of immigrants and the 'ley de nets', everything is problems. Regarding the newcomers, there's no need to overthink it: old xenophobia is mixed with the legitimate debate about integration, although the harsh (and perverse) reality is that entire sectors of the Spanish economy would collapse if the import of cheap labor were stopped. The 'ley de nets' offers more possibilities, because the PP had supported it. It is true that an instruction has now been introduced that expands cases and allows for easier naturalization. If before it was necessary to justify having suffered family exile, now economic reasons can also be invoked for having left Spain at the time. But behind these economic exiles there was often also the hand of Francoism, which favored its supporters with tobacconists and lottery agencies while silencing and repressing those who returned. Your Face Tomorrow, by Javier Marías, is a very good novel for understanding the ostracism to which many republicans, like the author's father, were subjected.

In any case, right-wing newspapers continue to fuel the idea of electoral fraud: "Resources to stop the 'ley de nets' will not be resolved before the elections," headlines Abc on its front page. Of course, one can see political intent, to some extent, but the subtitle is exaggerated and sounds like a threat when it says that it "allows for an increase in the electoral roll of up to 2.5 million people." This is like the cross of Christ, if you add up all the pieces of wood kept as relics, you get thirteen or fourteen crosses. In this case, if you add up all the cataclysmic projections due to Pedro Sánchez's laws, you must get 100 million Spaniards. Hey, Germany: what do you want me to beat you at?
