Jon's Silence and the End of Civil Society

Cada vez hay menos sociedad civil y más bandos y eso es una desgracia para cualquier país. Leer

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

The article discusses the erosion of civil society in Spain and the rise of tribalism. It cites examples of individuals being "canceled" for expressing opinions, including Germán Burgos, a former Argentine footballer, who was criticized for saying that a young player, Lamine Yamal, could make a living by working at a traffic light.

The article also mentions Jon González, who was targeted by government supporters for sharing data and insights on economic issues, such as the pension system and housing, that contradicted official theories. González's critics, including the brother of former minister Alberto Garzón, accused him of being in the pay of BBVA, a bank that profits from private pensions.
