By In recent weeks, corruption cases in Spain have been in the news in all the national media, which have also been responsible for having discovered and investigated the corruption cases that allegedly splashed the PSOE.
Also, the massive arrival of illegal immigration to Spain has not stopped in these months, which could break all records if it continues.
For this reason, The Long Brief has decided to interview Hermann Tertsch. Tertsch is an MEP for Vox and one of the vice-presidents of the Patriots for Europe party group in the European Parliament.
Alleged corruption cases have been coming out in recent weeks that have been linked to the Socialist Party with reports from the UCO (Spanish police). How do you think this will affect the government if it turns out to be true? Do you think the European Union will do something about it?
The cases of government corruption are so many, so scandalous, so evident, so coherent in their existence… that we are facing a criminal organization, as the Guardia Civil (spanish police) has said. We have a criminal framework so far unseen in Spain and I would say probably in any European democracy at that level of coordination and theft of European funds diverted to friends in exchange for compensation.
There are very clear judicial processes underway, with the imputation right now of the attorney general, that is, it is a major scandal, which probably has no precedent abroad.
We have learned that the attorney general has been indicted for an action of disclosure of secrets to which he has obviously been induced by the head of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez. This was done to protect his wife and attack the president of the Community of Madrid (Isabel Díaz Ayuso) for a matter of ‘revenge’.
This makes the government of Spain look more like the government of Venezuela than a European government.
These corruption cases stain the whole government and its political action and they don’t care who they have to drop.
José Luis Ábalos (former PSOE minister) is no longer part of the socialist group in parliament, do you talk about this?
Of course. They have dropped Ábalos, the one who was minister and secretary of organization, a key person in the socialist party and in Sánchez’s government.
He fired him supposedly for his dissipated life with prostitutes and with the stories he had, but in reality he was a key figure in the whole corruption organization.
Now he is going to be prosecuted because they are lifting his immunity, they have already asked him for the supplicatory. In any normal country he would have resigned, well, not only him, but the whole government and would have called elections a long time ago. He is not going to do it, what the government will do is continue committing crimes to cover up the previous crimes. In that sense the Spanish government and Sanchez are more like Maduro.
Are you suggesting that Sanchez might try to do ‘anything’ to avoid leaving power because of the cases?
For sure. They are starting to be so implicated that they do not have a dignified exit in freedom, because the day they leave power a number of cases will fall on them that will be a judicial odyssey for the rest of their lives, in the event that they fall from power.
So, you suggest that this could be dangerous?
Evidently, it is a double incentive to commit more crimes in order to remain in power. I have to be very clear, this is a case of absolute anomaly.
Will Ursula von der Leyen or the European Commission do anything?
No. This has been going on for a long time, they have been in power for six years. Mrs. Von der Leyen cannot be blind to all this. She has supposedly learned that from Monika Hohlmeier, when she went to Spain and said that she had no idea where the European funds were, i.e. the billions of EU aid.
Cayucos (boats) with hundreds and thousands of illegal immigrants are arriving to the Spanish coasts, especially to the Canary Islands, to be later distributed all over the national territory. Why do you think Sanchez does nothing about this topic?
One part is ideological and another part is a question of money.
First, on the money side, there are some trafficking organizations, among which there is also a Spanish part, although the majority is African. Likewise, there is also a large NGO industry, which in reality is part of the leftist machinery.
Second, as I said before, there is an ideological part. On the one hand, cheap labor, i.e., sinking wages and having everybody dependent, is a very socialist idea. On the other hand are breaking the nation, breaking national cohesion. In short, to destroy communities through immigration. We have seen it in Germany, in France, in Sweden, to say a few. Life is not like it was before, women are afraid to go out at night, girls do not go to school by bike, children are afraid to play in the parks until certain hours… in short, all life is disrupted.
It is a society defenseless in the face of power and that is its political, cultural and strategic objective.
Moving on to the European topic, Patriots for Europe has not been given any seats in the European Union. Why do you think they have made such a big cordon sanitaire?
It is because they are in panic. The party of the last 60 years is over.
The bipartisanship has governed united, as if it were practically a single party.
That is to say, all in the same direction, the four dissenters were marginal, they were despised, they were branded as radicals and nothing happened, but not now. They are now afraid of an uncontested power until now, which already has a lot of popular support and that terrifies them.
