PSOE, Pp and state sewers: rotten inheritance of the ’78 regime

The new scandal that involves Leire Díez confirms that it is not "rotten apples", but of a corrupt system from its foundations. You have to turn around.

LA Diffusion of Audios began the scandal

Leire díez, Socialist ex -militant and exconcejal in Vega de Pas (Cantabria), He has been the protagonist of a political scandal after the dissemination of audios in which he allegedly sought to obtain compromising information about members of the Central Operating Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard and the Prosecutor's Office, In exchange for judicial benefits. At a press conference, Díez denied having acted on behalf of the PSOE and said that his actions were part of a journalistic investigation for a book on the sewers of the State.

Aldama and the pendrive to the PSOE

And then Víctor de Aldama appeared, entrepreneur linked to Koldo case and fraud plots in the hydrocarbons sector, accusing Díez of Lying. Although she denied a relationship with Aldama, Both share a lawyer, which gives rise to speculation about its linkage. Later, Díez went to the PSOE headquarters in Ferraz, where he delivered a pendrive with documentation and later, requested his "voluntary leave" as a party militant.

From the "you more" to evasions

Before corruption both the PSOE and the PP have appealed to the "You more" For decades, Without assuming any real responsibility. Each scandal activates the same script: ignorance, nuances, selective oblivion and, Finally, silence. Society attends this repeated theater while rotten power structures are still intact.

Sewers are not an anomaly of the system: are an essential part of their operation. Officials, judges, Police and spies controls form an underground network that only comes to light when a scandal becomes uncontrollable. But even then, those responsible are rarely sanctioned. Impunity is norm, No exception.

The '78 regime: Makeup continuity Franco

These practices were not born yesterday. They are direct inheritance of the 78, that far from meaning a democratic rupture, consolidated a agreed transition that preserved the interests of the old Francoist apparatus. The Constitution, repressive bodies, Justice and monarchical restoration, They were designed to guarantee the continuity of economic and political power of capitalism. That is the root of the problem.

mobilizations and general strike so that the crisis is paid by those who generated it, Like the PP, It has been a pillar of this regime. And although they intend to differentiate themselves in their forms, They share the same government methods: clientelism, friendly, concealment, espionage, Use of the State apparatus for own purposes and pacts of silence to protect yours.

No real change will come from within

It is not enough to denounce individuals, Corruption is structural and therefore, Solutions must also be. The mobilization of the working people is the only force capable of imposing real and democratic control mechanisms, as an independent commission, No links with the regime parties or their power networks, that the sewers of the State thoroughly investigate.

But a radical transformation of the political system is also needed: democratic election and revocability of judges, implementation of popular jurors, Public positions with salaries equivalent to that of a qualified worker, and mandatory to use the public services used by working majorities.

Break the regime, Build a revolutionary alternative

There is no future for the working class by the PSOE hand, the PP, Vox or reformist variants as we can, United Left or its autonomic nationalist expressions. All have proven to be functional to this system, more concerned with managing the regime than to face it, how could the reunification of the radical left do it on a front.

Whatever, The most urgent task is the construction of a socialist and revolutionary alternative. A strong game, With roots in the workers' struggles, that not only denounces the regime of 78, but openly facing it, With a program for the deep transformation of society. Because only a workers' government, based on labor democracy and the socialist planning of the economy, You can end the sewers of the State and the miseries of capitalism.
