Las consecuencias de la estrategia de radicalización social que conocemos como frentes populares son siempre negativas. Es cierto que sus promotores pueden conseguir a corto plazo el resultado deseado, pero no hacen más que aplazar el problema. Por supuesto, estos frentes están llenos de radicales y antisistema que son muy peligrosos para la convivencia y la democracia. En muchos casos aparecen demagogos como Mélenchon que son el caballo de Troya, consciente o inconsciente, del comunismo que ha blanqueado la izquierda mediática y sus «compañeros de viaje» entre los intelectuales. Es algo que hemos visto en el siglo XX, pero que nos podemos remontar a la República romana para constatar la existencia de peligrosos populistas que basan su discurso en el odio. Otra muestra, además de la Unión Soviética y sus países satélites, la encontramos en la Revolución francesa y las monstruosidades que se cometieron al grito de «libertad, igualdad y fraternidad». Nunca he compartido la absurda idealización de este periodo, como sucede con otros en los que surgió lo peor del ser humano. Nada bueno se puede esperar de la izquierda radical, pero tampoco de la ultraderecha.

The politics of the popular fronts.
The consequences of the strategy of social radicalization,
2
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:19.719
which we know as popular fronts,
are always negative. It is true
3
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:24.039
that its promoters can achieve the desired
result in the short term, but they
4
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.760
do nothing but postpone the problem.
Of course, these fronts are full of
5
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:33.439
radical anti- systems that are very
dangerous for coexistence and democracy. In many
6
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:37.640
cases there are demagogues such as Melenchhon, who are the Trojan horse, conscious
7
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:42.240
or unconscious of communism that has bleached
on the media left and his fellow travelers
8
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.759
among the intellectuals. It is something
we have seen in the twentieth century,
9
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:51.000
but we can go back to the
Roman Republic to see the existence of dangerous
10
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:54.679
populists who base their discourse on hatred. Another example, in addition to the
11
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:59.320
Soviet Union and its satellite countries,
is found in the French Revolution and the
12
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.960
monstrosities that are eaten in the name
of equality, freedom and fraternity. I
13
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:08.519
have never shared the absurd idealization of
this period, as is the case with
14
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.400
similarities in which the worst of human
beings arose. Nothing good can be expected
15
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:17.079
from the radical left, but neither
from the ultra- right. Unfortunately,
16
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:21.920
we find many examples of political extremism
in France of freedom and democracy, from
17
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:27.400
the triumph of the Revolution to the
present day. Of course, we can
18
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:32.480
turn in another order of things to
the barbarities committed by the European powers with
19
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:37.000
their colonial empires. It is good
to emphasize the notable differences with what they
20
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:41.200
did in Spain and Portugal, although
some excesses and errors were made. We
21
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:45.840
must ignore the idealization of pre-
Columbian America as a result of absolute ignorance,
22
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.640
or the nonsense of the decolonization of
museums, which promotes urtasum as a
23
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.439
result of its inconsistent knowledge of history. It' s something that' s
24
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.040
solved by reading. Europe has a
serious problem with the radicalisation of both signs,
25
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.640
as has been shown in France.
Although strambithic analyses have been carried out,
26
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:07.319
instead of addressing the problems that cause
the disaffection, they have preferred to
27
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:10.000
re- edit the popular fronts,
in the French case as a platform and
28
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:15.520
in Spain, with Sanchismo, disqualifying
all those who do not accept their sectarian
29
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.680
policies and successions to independence. The
European Union has been left without leaders who
30
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:24.439
have the political height and vision of
the future that their founders had.
