The national police did nothing wrong during the catalan referendum and riots.

Wasn't a far-right thing.

No politicians are advocating for the genocide of refugees by sending them back to the opressive regimes they’re escaping from.

Executing politicians would not solve this. It would instead make the anti immigration crowd violent.

No politicians are advocating for the genocide of queer people by spreading harmful retoric that leads them to suicide.

Spain is one of the world leaders in LGBTQ+ freedom. There is too much pro LGBTQ+ support here to make this a viable campaign platform. Making martyrs out of anti LGBTQ+ politicians will boost support for anti LGBTQ+ stances, not lower it.

There are no apologists of the Franco regime in the government.

And those government officials are about as popular as holocaust deniers at a bah mitzvah. Franco apologism is literally illegal here.
