MADRID, 5 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The federal spokeswoman for the United Left (IU), Sira Rego, warned this Saturday that the successive crises that have been chained since the beginning of this 21st century “are leaving a panorama of fear, uncertainty and insecurity that serves as a broth of cultivation to allow the flourishing of the extreme right”.
This has been pointed out by Riego during the celebration of the conference ‘New rights, old storms. Going around the reactionary moment’, organized by IU and in which the secretary general of the CC.OO., Unai Sordo, and the historian and journalist Pablo Batalla have also participated.
In these contexts of crisis, Rego has highlighted that it is more necessary than ever to know “how to organize on the different fronts, including the ‘cultural war’ that they pose and not remain paralyzed”.
For the federal leader of the IU, the phenomenon of the extreme right “has to do with the crisis of the moment, that of care, the different chained economic crises and the eco-social crisis, in addition to that referring to representative democracy.”
In addition to responding and acting in a coordinated manner from freedom in the face of the proposed “cultural war”, Rego advocated “not remain paralyzed and paralyzed on fronts such as the institutional, the communicative, in social action and, of course, in the construction of everyday life spaces.
Sordo, for his part, stressed that from his far-right “trade union point of view,” he is especially concerned about “their ability to penetrate the popular and working classes, fortunately more so in other countries than in ours.”
Battle has also made reference to the “ghost travels the world and it’s scary”, so that in the face of the extreme right, considered in a unitary or diverse way, it is essential “to understand and analyze them in order to defeat them”.
