And I listened Albert Boadella a reality with which I could not agree more. The former director of Els Joglars said how he did not see many problems to express his ideas. During Franco’s time, there was censorship, “but we all know it was done under censorship.” The problem is that today, when you are on a book with a lot of freedom, it is almost impossible to satire on many topics that are distributed as theology, with the change of face- date, gender diversity, immigration, Trumpism, etc. Nor there is censorship to express itself about them, but the highest moral is what many people want to consider themselves, “something worse than censorship, the new progressive research supported by the Government, the victory of political correctness and the destruction of democracy and freedom.José Antonio Marina called it “cancellation of culture”a new form of exceptionalism, which consists in the elimination of everything that is considered offensive, outside the correction established by the choice of the government or by the owners of the networks, which is not only freedom of expression but of thought.
Of course, there is no official censorship, they just force you to monitor yourself or the networks are ordered to do the work. Therefore, “in the West, don’t talk about censorship, because this is the free world,” said some colleagues. Therefore, we will not compare ourselves with China, Cuba, North Korea, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Nicaragua or Venezuela. There is always time to get worse. And we don’t want to get worse. We want to improve freedoms. But the West, which is more free than all the countries mentioned above combined, is not Eden either, and even less in these times when technology controls our lives and governments. So if someone like Julián Assange happens to publish authentic documents on criminal behavior by the CIA, he is immediately accused of revealing state secrets, espionage and high treason, and is a ghost on the networks.
In Spain, Sánchez is coming to us now to give us journalism lessons. Yesterday he presented his promoted “reform” plan, which was changed to “Action Plan for Democracy”, that is actually his wife’s defense plan. Only, instead of continuing towards threats, he has decided to put on a good mask, announcing the distribution of 100 million euros for those who behave well, and giving a warning for the time that he will not allow money. pseudomedia with a small audience with public funding. It is not clear how he plans to do it, because he does not dare to take any action either against the Junts in Catalonia or against the PNV in the Basque Country. Actually, he was thinking about Ayuso. But given the complexity of this type of contract, he chose to make generic statements and leave the specifics for later. His “heat” is simple, and it consists of starting a “mud machine”, accusing the press of spreading “wrong news” about the efforts of his wife and brother. The first way to do this is by funding the “digital websites” of the “disinformed.” Be careful with that word: misinformation. Sánchez with his experts will decide who “says disinforms”, which is a return to the previous censorship, because there will be media that will not receive a single euro and will not be able to publish. So to the very strong “self-censorship” that Boadella refers to, we have to add this return to the previous censorship, which is really the Sanchista censorship. Like with Franco, but worse.
