The Vox deputy for Girona, Alberto Tarradas, gave a tasteless speech playing on the threat of deportation of ERC deputy Najat Driouech, which is not only not a joke, but contains all the elements of fascist hate speech. Pronounced from the lectern of Parliament, it makes one's stomach turn and we are eagerly awaiting the chamber's punishment.
The perversion of the speech lies in the fact that it prefigures a bright future in which the most delinquent impulses of human beings will be satisfied, such as, for example, organizing a state that, with the law in hand, will expel from the country someone who professes a certain religion. And playing with time ("We will not deport her, at least for now") intends to start the countdown of social tension, of what will happen when they win, when the bright days come when in Spain “vuelva a amanecer”.It doesn't matter that such an abject political offer means the rollback of rights achieved after centuries of persecution and extermination. It is about making the electorate salivate with an authoritarian festival of supremacism and racism that, it must be noted immediately, will not solve any of the electorate's economic and social problems, but it works because it offers them a culprit for these problems, even if, obviously, it is false.
Tarradas celebrated as an expression of joy and spontaneity the “Muslim, he who doesn't jump” from the Spain-Egypt football match played in Cornellà-El Prat. No matter how cheap the provocation is, it cannot be overlooked. And, naturally, where it says Muslim it can say Catalan or any other national, cultural or ideological designation of origin. We have suffered this persecutory impulse of Spanish nationalism enough to dismiss as a joke what is a threat to freedom.
