>MADRID — Thousands of Spaniards joined a right-wing rally in Madrid on Sunday to demand that Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez step down. Many in the crowd gathered in the capital’s Plaza de Colon, waving Spanish flags. They chanted slogans in favor of the nation’s security forces and for Sanchez to resign.
>The conservative opposition Popular Party and the center-right Citizens party organized the rally, which was also backed by the upstart far-right Vox and other marginal far-right parties. They claim that Sanchez must resign for holding talks with separatists in the northeastern region of Catalonia.
>“The time of Sanchez’s government is over,” said Popular Party president Pablo Casado, who asked voters to punish Sanchez’s Socialists in upcoming European, local and regional elections in May.
>The political tensions come as a highly sensitive trial at Spain’s Supreme Court starts Tuesday for 12 Catalan separatists who face charges, including rebellion, for their roles in a failed secession attempt in 2017.
>Sanchez came to power in June promising to thaw tensions between central authorities in Madrid and the Catalan leaders in Barcelona. He has met twice with Catalan chief Quim Torra and members of both governments had several more encounters.
>Sanchez had said he would be willing to help Catalan lawmakers agree to a new Charter Law, which determines the amount of self-rule the region enjoys. But Sanchez’s government broke off negotiations on Friday, when Vice President Carmen Calvo said the separatists wouldn’t budge from their demand for an independence referendum.
>Sanchez is trying to cobble together support to pass a national budget and will need votes from the Catalan separatists to pass it. Even though Sanchez has said he wants to see out the legislative term through 2020, a failure to win a budget vote will crank up the pressure on him to call for an early election.
Current socialist president no one voted for wants to get to an agreement with catalonian separatists.The people protesting are just there for the shake of Spain not for political parties,but every rightwing and far right party in Spain has gone to the protest

Look at the disgust of that lone man looking in the direction of all these old hags. Very fitting even if it's a collage.

>Unironically hopefully soon Please let this be true. God its the only thing that i wish for this year
This time it'd end way faster as back then I think the leftists had some balls and will to fight, but todays left is nothing but feminist/lesbian women and low testosterone men. Not to mention that most part of the army is probably right wing
Charles Johnson
pretty sure the old left would be shooting the new "left" too

PRESIDENTE OKUPA
stupid carmen calvo, cant stand that cunt
It wasnt anything in support of any political parties, 2 political parties (PP and Cs) organized it and then other political parties joined it: Vox, UPYD, Falange, España2000, UPN, Foro Asturias... and as well organizations: Hogar Social Madrid, Fundación DENAES... But anyone could go to it, even some left wingers like Corcuera went
Ethan Adams
PM response: Gee ok

Is the left trying to gaslight an entire nation, Jow Forums?

>Is the left trying to gaslight an entire nation
The left very often exhibits behaviour typical to sociopaths and especially narcissist. A lot of leftist strategies are textbook narcissist manipulations taken onto a political instead of personal level, and gaslighting is a narcs favourite.

What can we realistically do to help coordinate between nationalist groups within all European countries?
> Europe (as a whole) > Russia > America > Australia > New Zealand > South Africa > Iceland > Canada
We need to begin establishing (or even just talking about) realistic policies for our peoples. It wouldn't help if we began coordinating support for our movements between each other either.
Things we can elaborate on are as follows:
Isaiah Gonzalez
I don't care what country it is, a nationalist rally with flags raised high is always a beautiful sight to see.
What is it with south european countries that have such large parts of the populations being right wing and left wing in equal measure. Down here we only get fucking retarded centrists sucking public news cock and looking for compromises (until someone goes of the rails and starts killing the cowards that is).
Benjamin Green
It wasn't a huge concentration but it's a start. The left is used to have the streets, finally that's changing.
Joseph Phillips
Maybe it's the climate, colder countries seem more cucked and willing to compromise than warmer ones.

Spain isn’t even a real nation. It’s a bunch of different cultures and ethnicities shoehorned into a single country. These guys only want to delay the inevitable.
