Before criticizing Vox, remember that Telesforo Monzón was a rebel
- This is not the first time. In December Iñaki Iriarte explained to us, in the opinion section of Diario de Navarra, that it is not good to put the Vox party in the bag of fascists. With the terminological militia of those who want to show something more essential on the pretext of terminology, Iriarte told us that the ideology of Vox is not that of the fascists of the 1920s. Calling Voxi a fascist is not historical, if the party is succeeding it is because it has dared to pronounce out loud some opinions that did not dare to express in the center-right [sic]. Iriarte, for his part, has written "opinion" on the situation in Batasuna. Not "true." He's a good boy.
Last Saturday, on the pretext of Vox, Iriarte stabbed the anti-fascists. What would you think, I asked, if you read ETA's initial texts?

What does Iriarte mean to us? That we live in a dictatorship and that Vox has been born to fight it? Do the people of Vox believe that Spain depends on another people? That all those who have criticized Vox are terrorists?
Or, perhaps, bearing in mind also December, Iriarte wants to tell us that Vox is a normal right-wing party – well, a bit radical, but it would certainly not deserve to be ruled out – and that it is the anti-fascist assumptions that really pose a risk.
I have just read that someone is getting the way to the authoritarian extreme right in universities. Then I read the Iriarte columns.
