If we have to talk about a generic evil in any country or organization on our planet, it is necessary to refer to "KLEPTOCRACY" or "government of thieves". If we analyze the history of the last 2000 years, no empire is exempt. In the last century, after World War II, the formula of democracy has proliferated in most countries as a guarantee that the rulers are sovereign, that is, elected by the people. This formula has been supplemented by a code of coexistence called "CONSTITUTION" which includes self-control mechanisms and, when effective, ensures the concept of the "RULE OF LAW". Shall we look in the mirror?
Let's see if Spain meets the main characteristics of a country that suffers from KLEPTOCRACY:
- Widespread corruption: Corruption is pervasive and systematic, spanning all levels of government, from senior officials to lower-ranking bureaucrats.
.... Our country has suffered from corruption scandals with political overtones for years, in which someone goes to jail in a very punctual way, paradoxically the lost money never appears
- Diversion of public funds: State resources are diverted to the personal accounts of leaders and their associates, instead of being used for the public good.
…. The existence of money in tax havens in the name of politicians and relatives is accredited
- Illicit enrichment: Leaders and officials accumulate wealth and property illicitly, taking advantage of their position of power.
….. When it is intended to be accountable to some power of the state, it is used to use immunity to avoid it, is it intended to hide something?
- Lack of accountability: There is an absence of effective control and auditing mechanisms, which allows corrupt practices to be perpetuated without consequences.
… We can prove the non-existence of taxation of our accounts
- Weakening of democratic institutions: Institutions that should oversee and control power (such as the judiciary, watchdogs, and the media) are weakened, co-opted, or eliminated to prevent exposure and sanctioning of corrupt practices.
.. We can accredit more than 40 years of immunity in our country
- Election Manipulation: Elections, if they exist, are rigged to ensure that corrupt leaders and their allies stay in power.
Controlling the media is a form of election manipulation. Recently, the cry has been raised on social networks to blame the only media in which citizen protests emerge
- Repression of dissent: Critical voices and opponents are silenced through censorship, intimidation, imprisonment, or even violence.
.. We have a judge in jail for denouncing corruption, we can also credit in our flesh economic extortion that positions us as a third world country
