It must be recognized that Santiago Abascal's great contribution to political theory is that definition of "cowardly right." He may have done, or said, something else innovative but I don't remember it. And it may also be that this definition is not yours and you have read it in, for example, a translation of the best seller "Mein Kampf", but I don't know. For now I maintain my thesis: there has been a cowardly right wing since Abascal said it. Before him, what there was was "right with complexes" as José María Aznar said of those who did not dare to come out of the ideological closet saying, "without complexes", what really had to be said, especially about the reds, the weak, the vulnerable and, in general, those who had a different opinion from what was marked by the unique thought of the "last man", that product of Fukuyama's "end of history.
And Abascal, picking up this idea from Aznar when he was a member of the PP, gave it shape by constituting a new party, a brave right-wing party, and a disparaging name to define his former Belgium Mobile Number List colleagues. Well, that bravery seems to have limits and is logical. Pablo Iglesias already pointed it out when he told him that, although he would like Abascal to carry out a coup d'état, he did not dare to carry it out. Probably, but it could also happen that, effectively, even though Abascal, and his acolytes, thought that a coup of authority, military of course, was necessary, what are called objective conditions did not exist to give it. Because one thing is social media, where all kinds of atrocities can be said, and another is the reality of flag quarters where those in command in the square have to be convinced to take the tanks out onto the street.
Although, it seems that not even on social media has there been enough "bravery" to defend Donald Trump's patriotic idea to defend his job. It turns out that after the ex-POTUS (according to the nomenclature of the Secret Service in charge of protecting him), harangued that band of hotheads who were camping in front of the Capitol, they entered what is called "the headquarters of popular sovereignty" . The state, which is supposed to have a monopoly on violence, had not planned a device like the one deployed, for example, at G20 meetings to protect world leaders. And the band of exalted ones entered the Capitol with a difficulty similar to that which they would have used to enter the house of each one of them. Well, that's all history now. Sad, but story. The curious thing has been how those nostalgic for 23F in Spain have received this.
