The Government will withdraw the Grand Cross of Health to the psychiatrist Antonio Vallejo-Nájera, "the Spanish Mengele" who pursued the 'red gene'

The Spanish government has announced plans to revoke the Grand Cross of the Order of Health from psychiatrist Antonio Vallejo-Nájera, known as 'the Spanish Mengele' for his controversial eugenicist theories. President Pedro Sánchez criticized Vallejo-Nájera for promoting racist and sexist ideas, including the belief that women had 'atrophy of intelligence' and were solely meant to bear children for the nation. The president accused him of using pseudoscience to justify repression and inequality, and linked his work to the forced sterilization of progressive individuals during Franco's regime. Sánchez emphasized that no democracy should honor someone who disguised hatred under the guise of science.
