What no Spanish citizen could imagine the emergence of democracy in Spain after Franco's dictatorship ended in 1975, is that 36 years after our illustrious representatives would be able to pass a reform of the electoral law that is more characteristic of a dictatorship that free democratic coexistence.
To me nobody is going to shut up, I always say and do what I think about what I know and when, as in this case, what I feel is the end of the democratic freedoms of many of the ordinary Spanish citizens, not me choice but to denounce it so I can feel at peace with my conscience.
I refer to the Organic Law 2 / 2011 of January 28, published in the Official Gazette of 01.29.2011, by amending the Organic Law 5 / 1985.
This reform adopted by the major parties called "democratic", says bluntly, that since its entry into force "since the announcement of elections to the legal start of the campaign advertising is prohibited election propaganda through posters, media commercial or newspaper ads, radio or other digital media, can not justify these actions by the exercise of the ordinary activities of the parties ... "which comes to mean the best of my knowledge and belief that are deleted election campaign, and from 28 March to 6 May not be made political acts, not even information.
They may not hang posters of candidates or political parties and no party may make announcements or candidates or in TV, print, radio, Mupis, public spaces, etc. ...
This means that only public officials who attend an election again have the opportunity, with the excuse of his tenure, to appear in the media, both public and private, and other small parties and independents, or Nationalist Party without representation, will have to go out all but masked, to avoid committing a crime of disobedience.
In short, from what we DEMOCRACY PINATARENSE convey is that as of March 28 our marquees with the photo of the candidate will have to be blank, we will suspend the briefings with local associations and groups that we were doing, and like all my neighbors that want to comply with legislated, will comply with that law, but consider that it is written so that each day more difficult to oust the political brands PSOE - PP, we are doomed to a lack of freedom hidden, if no one remedy that will produce the effect of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, and short-term end of our democratic era.
It is urgent a forceful response from the public, we can not allow the lounging live forever in our treasury, and after having ruined by laws such as the mortgage law, taxation law, land law and so on., We now want to remove one of our fundamental rights, freedom of speech, appealing to save the economic crisis, when in fact they are the ones with their failure that we have ruined, and now legislate for not leaving until you wish, and to bequeath the from their children.
Failing to be a "sacristans Amen" of those in power.
