Another plutocratic castle to fall in Europe

Podemos and the other anti-austerity forces in Spain will push plutocrats towards their limited options

by system failure

It is almost certain that the results in the recent regional elections in Spain activated another alarm and brought further anxiety to the European neoliberal economic empire. The governing Popular Party (PP) and the Socialists lost significant power, while Podemos and the anti-austerity parties in the Left of the political spectrum "have the prestige of holding power in Barcelona, and could form a coalition to rule in the Spanish capital." (podemos-are-coming) This was certainly a political earthquake that hit Spain's political establishment.

It would be worth to remember that Greece has gone through a similar path. The Leftist party, SYRIZA, marked a clear victory in the euro-elections and a significant rise in the regional elections, held at the same period. Although SYRIZA lost in most of the 13 regions, the party managed to win the most populous (Attica) and prevail also in the Ionian Islands. (Greek_local_elections,_2014) Less than a year later, SYRIZA managed to win the national elections and form a coalition government.

The German political elite and the Brussels bureaucrats have every reason to worry about the situation in Spain, as the country could follow the Greek path during the national elections in December. However, the plutocratic puppets have limited options to react against the next Leftist "threat" and prevent a potential domino (europe-get-ready-for-war) which could be proved disastrous for their plans.

As already analyzed in previous article, it seems that the only option available for the eurocrats concerning Greece, is to impose a kind of controlled default without Grexit (controlled-default-without-grexit). However, neither this scenario would be an easy case for Brussels and Berlin. The Greek government has shaped a clear stance and declared that it will pay pensions and salaries rather than the next IMF dose of the loan, in case that the lenders insist on further catastrophic austerity and cuts in order to provide liquidity.

Additionally, the most radical part of SYRIZA speaks now openly about their willing to confront the lenders directly, break the negotiation process and prepare for the return to a national currency. During the recent SYRIZA party conference, the radical part has lost only to a few votes against what has been decided, which is to keep the negotiation process alive, without, however, the government to retreat on basic red lines.

The mainstream media in Greece started to circulate scenarios about possible national elections soon. The systemic parrots try to set pre-determined conditions for SYRIZA, by bringing back the "list" possibility. According to this, Alexis Tsipras will form a specific list with the names of the moderate part of his party to be elected, excluding those who belong to the most radical. This would be probably a faster and cleaner way for the neoliberal establishment to transform SYRIZA into a centre-left social democratic party (the-plan-of-global-financial-mafia), therefore "drowning" the possibility of a general rise of the Left in Europe.

However, it would be not so easy to do it in such a short time until the Spanish national elections. If SYRIZA manage to stay united and alive against the propaganda war until then, plutocrats will start losing control over their financial empire. Europe will be ready to make a big turn, and leave behind the dangerous path towards the new Feudalism.

Israel is responsible for one of the cruelest genocides in modern history

UN Palestinian Rights Committee   In her address to the Human Rights Council on 3 July 2025, Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, warned of a genocide unfolding in Gaza and the West Bank.    She described the situation as “apocalyptic,” stating that “Israel is responsible for one of the cruelest genocides in modern history.”    With over 200,000 Palestinians reported killed or injured and the real toll “far higher,” she accused Israel of dismantling humanitarian aid in Gaza, replacing it with a “so-called 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation' [that] is nothing else than a death trap.”    She emphasized that this was not an isolated crisis but part of a decades-long “settler colonial project of erasure” that has intensified in recent months through military force, starvation, and mass displacement. Albanese condemned the deep complicity of corporate and state actors i...

Israel Guilty Of SYSTEMATIC Sexual Violence Against Palestinians! – U.N. Confirms

The Jimmy Dore Show   A recent UN report titled "More Than a Human Can Bear" details systematic sexual and gender-based violence committed by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinians since October 7. The report documents harrowing accounts of abuse, including rape, torture, and sexual humiliation of detainees—both men and women—by Israeli military and prison personnel. As Jimmy Dore points out, despite extensive evidence and testimonies, U.S. media and political figures have largely ignored or downplayed these findings, while continuing to repeat debunked claims about Hamas.
