Miranda de Ebro (Burgos) (EFE).- The former socialist deputy Agustín Zamarrón, the oldest parliamentarian in the legislature that has just ended and known for his physical resemblance to the writer Ramón María del Valle-Inclán, has warned of the electoral result What can 23J bring: “With Vox associated with the PP we are going purely and directly to Francoism.”
In an interview with the EFE Agency, this 77-year-old retired doctor and resident of the Burgos municipality of Miranda de Ebro has drawn on his experience in recent years in the Congress of Deputies to sentence that Vox represents a “cruel, murderous Francoism of ideas and progress”, which leads “to mediocrity”.
After alluding to a personal decision not to run on the PSOE electoral lists for the next elections, Zamarrón has analyzed the current situation of Spanish politics and has admitted that “difficult times” are being lived, a “crisis” that can only be resolved “going backwards” or looking to the future, “where everything is changing and artificial intelligence is implemented”.
Agustín Zamarrón explained that, despite the fact that the experience has been “enormously positive” in Congress, he believes that at his years it is already “a very good figure to return to retirement” and that he has fulfilled “sufficiently” this second service public made, after the practice of medicine.
The man from Mirandés has assured that he is not “fed up with politics” but “tired of human stupidity, of picaresque, of the bad ways of cheering, of the stabbing…”, an attitude towards politics that is “showy” but “despicable” , petty and withered” that does not correspond to the present times.
The persistence of populism
In his opinion, “populisms, now on the right, are in vogue and have known very well how to exploit what humans have the worst, hatred and resentment”, with the intention of stopping change in Spain.
Hence, Agustín Zamarrón calls for the vote on 23J, especially among the youngest, who must go to the polls “not to ask what you are going to give me in exchange” but as a commitment “with eagerness, desire and confidence in the future.
The socialist opposes the spirit of progressive solidarity, in which “we are all equal and the laws have to condition equality as citizens”, to the “stingy selfishness” that he sees in the PP, which is guided by “the greed to raise a class society where man is not worth depending on where he comes from or where he is”.
Zamarrón has defended the management of Pedro Sánchez as head of the Government, during which “very important and very good laws have been produced, as befits a progressive period; laws that have been for gender equality, equity and the protection of those who need it most”.
Law of ‘only yes is yes’
He even defends the overall content of the Organic Law for the Comprehensive Guarantee of Sexual Freedom, known as the ‘only yes is yes’ law, whose negative view on the part of society has been attributed to “absolute stupidity, mismanagement, pride and intemperance of the Minister -of Equality, Irene Motero-“, since in her opinion the norm has an “enormous content” in “protection of women”.
“More bad times will come and we will be worse, I fear it and it horrifies me,” he predicted, at the same time that he pointed out that violence against women will again be denied.
“Let all women know when they go to vote; that they vote for one thing or another, but you already know what the vice president of Castilla y León (from Vox) does. Either here women can or cannot abort or society aborts in full ”, he has sentenced.
The murderers, outlaws of politics
Regarding the agreements reached by Pedro Sánchez with EH Bildu, he acknowledges that the Abertzale formation “has all the philoetarras and openly ETA members, and many who are left-wing nationalists” inside: “let’s not fool ourselves, it is very clear.”
And difference between the condition of citizen with full rights and political representative, so that whoever has served a sentence and has redeemed his crime is “evidently a citizen with full rights”, but “the parties cannot claim that whoever has used the crime as a political weapon can be in politics, it must be banned from politics”.
‘Sanchismo’
The PSOE parliamentarian, in the face of the criticism accumulated by the President of the Government, has assured that there is no such thing as ‘sanchism’, but that it is about naming something that “is not understood” and a “demonization” of the person, in this case Pedro Sánchez.
“Sánchez will not be destroyed”, warned his party mate, convinced that “what is being destroyed is Spain” at a very important moment for the management of Next Generation funds and when “it is necessary to be more positioned against the extreme populisms, fascist or Francoist, who use democratic ways to gain power and, when they are there, do not leave”, he has said between quotes from Bolsonaro, Hitler and Mussolini.
