For over 100 years the far-left impudently presumed to represent the world’s workers. That presumption has now been challenged by Spain’s VOX Party which growth has shocked the liberal-left and corporate media.

The leader of the Spanish conservative-Christian VOX (Voice) party in Spain, Santiago Abascal, has announced the establishment of a new trade union called ‘Solidarity’. He emphasised that it will not ‘bow to the communists.’

In his opinion, current trade unions in Spain is rooted in Marxist fake ideology, morally corrupt, controlled by oligarchs and obedient to the government. Instead of serving the working (slave) class, they serve Leftist ideologies, such as gender, feminism or ultra-ecology which policies when implemented has led to the closure of several companies and the loss of thousands of workers jobs.

This is why it is necessary to establish the new union, which will unite ‘non-communist workers’ and protect their interests. It should not serve any party or ideology but protect the national economy and rights of Spanish employees and their families, as well as minor companies and the self-employed.

Abascal is also supported by another VOX activist, Javier Torres, who explained that the choice of the name of ‘Solidarity’ was not accidental. It was inspired by the Polish trade union ‘Solidarność’ (Solidarity), which in the 1980s had the most impact on abolishing contagious communism.

According to Abascal and his supporters, only such a union today would be able to make the first step in breaking up the turbo-liberal oligarchy system. As a reminder, the original ‘Solidarity’ was established 40 years ago, on Aug. 31, 1980, during strikes which erupted during communist Poland’s economic crisis.

Today’s coronavirus crisis has proven the weakness of the Spanish economy and the labour laws in that country. Social dissatisfaction is rising, and with it, the conviction that system changes are necessary. Abascal believes that the union formula best suits it, as it is not an ideological platform.

VOX’s spokesman Jorge Buxade believes that Spaniards especially now need solidarity and unification for the defence of their interests.

Meanwhile, the Left and traditional trade unions are breaking up the Spanish community and keep on creating conflicts ‘between employees and employers, between the rich and the poor, between men and women, between Madrid and Catalonia.’

It turns out that during the 40^th anniversary of establishing Solidarity, the Polish example can still inspire throughout the world, despite the different geopolitical context.

Lech Walesa, the shipyard electrician in the Polish port Gdansk (Danzig) was the PowerPoint and inspiration of the Solidarity movement. The former Polish Prime Minister is scathing about the state of politics in the European Union:

‘In many countries, the majority of people don’t go and cast their vote. So I am asking you, how is this democracy then? In the near future, though, we’ll face a truly grave problem. Politicians will have disappointed people so much with their lying and stealing that the only ones to turn up for elections will be the candidates themselves.’
