The far-right media often distance themselves from Vox to look good in the eyes of their more focused readers, but deep down they play into their hands every now and then. Let's look at these two headlines on the same piece: "The PSOE joins Bildu and the PNV to prevent Basque youth aged 14 and 15 from studying ETA" (front page of the newspaper).Abc) and "The PSOE whitewashes ETA: it votes with Bildu and the PNV to hide ETA crimes in Basque schools" (Digital freedom). The articles refer to a non-legislative proposal submitted by the far-right party calling for the legal incorporation of a series of ETA-related content into the educational curriculum. Naturally, it presented this approach from a draconian perspective that may irritate some consciences, but as a tool for understanding history, it proves rather weak.
What matters is the media mechanism that has operated here. A party condemned by arithmetic to impotence presents a text in terms that the governing majority cannot accept. Since it doesn't receive their support, it accuses the others of going against its proposal, which is as flimsy as logic. tranchette, and just as fat. If Vox really expected their support, they should have negotiated consensus terms. But all they wanted was to slam the text against the rocks so they could enlist the necessary collaborators in the underground media to publish manipulative headlines. The vote wasn't to hide ETA, it wasn't to not study it: it was to not do so as proposed by Abascal's troops. A troop, by the way, who were loudly scandalized when values were introduced into educational curricula, and who would exclaim "Indoctrination!" if, for example, there was talk of respect for differences, non-normative sexualities, or that pro-communist whim of trying to prevent the planet from farting like an acorn.
