The article criticizes the Spanish right-wing political movement, particularly the Popular Party (PP), for promoting a nostalgic vision of Spain reminiscent of post-Civil War era figures such as priests, judges, Civil Guard members, and local elites ('caciques'). It argues that this ideology seeks to revive a conservative, traditionalist Spain rooted in Catholicism and symbols like bullfighting, which the author views as regressive and disconnected from contemporary values. The piece highlights concerns over the persecution of comedians for critical commentary, drawing parallels to the censorship under Franco’s regime. It further critiques the PP’s alignment with Vox and their emphasis on 'neoconservative' policies, suggesting these ideas could lead to social isolation and a rejection of modernity. The article frames this movement as a return to a 'backward' Spain, contrasting it with progressive governance.
