Podemos obeys Spanish fascist Vox party’s demand for no shelter-at-home
After the January 6 fascist coup attempted by Donald Trump in Washington and amid growing, public threats of a Francoite coup in Spain, the fascist Vox party is increasingly dictating terms to Spain’s Socialist Party (PSOE)-Podemos government.
