These two things might seem unrelated, but together they help distill the workings of competitive authoritarianism. When the opposition loses, it gets blamed on their having terrible leaders, but part of why they have terrible leaders is bc any rising leader is hounded by the ruling party.

elDiario.es ha tenido acceso a la planificación forestal de Valdeorras-Trives, la que ha registrado el peor incendio de la historia de Galicia
📉 La inversión pública en materia de prevención de incendios ha descendido un 25% desde 2009
❌ La Junta de Castilla y León recortó un 86% el gasto en esa partida: de 10,2 millones en 2009 a 1,4 millones en 2022.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

We worried about government statistics then, and appointed a committee that included members (such as Google's Chief Economist) who might be in a position to help make reliable statistics available if the government went dark.

El mismo guión, las mismas mentiras a sabiendas, la misma irresponsabilidad por parte de un partido que sólo percibe los tribunales, las reglas, las instituciones, la democracia como algo justo y legítimo cuando gana. Cuando ocurra volverán las sonrisas y la dignidad. Cansino y repugnante a la vez.
