We live under a system that increasingly limits our political expression, but that gives an option to change every four years, exercising the power of the vote at the polls.
However, between elections, increasingly numerous groups of social activists are determined to stop the degeneration with which the country is governed and the continuous attacks against citizens, against the proletariat, against the People, by that elite enthroned in political power.
Neighborhood movements, environmental, feminist, nationalist movements or any ideology that daily walk the streets demanding protection and social improvement, are the essential seed of any real change. Therefore, they must be cared for and understood, as a whole, as the Social Movement and an authentic barometer.
A true enemy camouflaged of those of us who are determined to improve things, of those who want to end the current system, is who settles socially while the battle is fought in the streets and, at the same time, prepares to present a "new electoral option".
This attack against Change is not new. Their desire for profit and personal prominence is not new. And, from now on, I assure you that I will not stop denouncing these opportunists who, after all, are enemies of the Social Movement, of the People and of any change that puts their possible electoral benefit at risk. They appear making calls for unity and repeating partial speeches of those who have not stopped working and putting together an eclectic program, which was born after the debates of a long barbecue, on any May 15, where the main premise was to disqualify and defenestrate all parties; to end up constituting one, a star that guides us towards "change" as Felipe González's PSOE did in the 80s.
They are going to split the protest vote, steal electoral programs by pretending to be who they really are not, imitate the authentic parties that can improve society and tire, exhaust an electorate, already quite disgusted with those who only know how to retain votes, making use of their power to distribute crumbs among the poorest in ideology, in social analysis, who live in the cultivation of fear of "hunger for tomorrow" and settle for "bread for today" intending to perpetuate this situation.
That harmful intrusion, ideologically empty or full of pieces of different visions, which is defined according to need imitating a weather vane, is an enemy that clearly collaborates in perpetuating the current situation. Therefore, from now on I warn, they will have to think a little more. Because "their true colors are showing" and where I find them we are going to face each other and see how they refute these foundations with which logically, sooner or later, they had to stumble.
The other option is to contribute to those who work politically every day. Influencing from within organizations, contributing and not subtracting in assemblies, treating others as equals, because now is the time to add. Whether that is the outcome or not, history in the future and not the media in the present, will judge cruelly.
