La compra del chalé en La Navata de Galapagar por Pablo Iglesias (39 años) e Irene Montero (30 años) sigue dando que hablar a pesar de que han pasado más de tres semanas. La vivienda, que cuesta unos 600.000 euros, fue criticado tanto fuera como dentro de Podemos. Lo que llevó incluso a una consulta con las bases del partido, en la que salieron respaldados por un 70% de los militantes.
La consulta a los inscritos de la formación morada sobre su "credibilidad" se cerró con una participación récord de 188.176 votos, fue promovida por ellos mismos tras publicarse en los medios fotos y datos de la vivienda de Galapagar. La participación era una de las claves de la consulta, porque Pablo Iglesias había redoblado su apuesta al anunciar que una baja participación les obligaría a dimitir.
Sabemos dónde vivirán Iglesias y Montero, pero aún desconocemos dónde residen los demás representantes de la formación y sus confluencias. ¿Dónde viven?
PODEMOS
What inspiration do you find in the past, particularly the fight against fascism?
JCM: When it comes to antifascism there is a major difference between Spain and the rest of Europe. Antifascism is an inextricable part of Europe’s democratic DNA. It’s impossible to understand the French Constitution of 1946 without taking into account the National Council of the Resistance. The same goes for the Italian and German Constitutions of 1948 and 1949. In Spain, however, the antifascists are little more than an urban tribe.
When the indignados took to the streets in May 2011, something curious happened at the Puerta del Sol in Madrid. When someone flew a Republican flag, someone else requested that it be taken down because it was divisive. Were they right? After all, the indignados took their name from a book by Stéphane Hessel, the French writer who fought fascism in the Resistance. The kid who claimed that the Republican flag was divisive probably didn’t know that the first tanks to enter a liberated Paris in 1944 were driven by Spanish Republicans who had fought in the Ninth Division with General Leclerc. That’s where the democratic DNA of Spain should be, although currently it isn’t.
We’ve got our work cut out for us. The neoliberal model has worked very hard to wipe out history and turn it into a kind of decaffeinated theme park. It has prevented us from connecting with the historical anger and frustration that anticipated our current anger and frustration.
What does fascism look like today?
JCM: Let’s take a step back to 1945. The Right had turned to fascism in the interwar period, and it had been soundly defeated. If you look at the Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, you’ll see it’s actually quite socialist. But the effort of the social-democratic parties in the West to build a somewhat more decent world had a fundamental problem. It built democracies on the inside while allowing for poverty and dictatorship on the outside.
Lo que ya no va después del 28-M
En un escenario de posible gobierno del PP con Vox, ¿sirve simplemente tener razón? Ya no es tiempo de ocurrencias y tampoco de “alertas antifascistas”. Yolanda Díaz y Podemos deben recuperar el tiempo perdido, demostrando que la unidad no es circunstancial
