Tyler Durden \u2013 Activist Post July 4, 2021<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/h1>\n

The prominent Spanish daily\u00a0El Pa\u00eds <\/em>is reporting a hugely alarming scenario in which Spain\u2019s central government is mulling a national mobilization and \u201csecurity\u00a0law\u201d which would compel citizens to \u201ctemporarily\u201d give up their rights in instances of future public health crises<\/strong> or emergencies such as happened with the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

The law is currently at the level of a mere proposal but worryingly it would elevate matters of public health to the level of \u2018national security\u2019 \u2013 as El Pa\u00eds\u00a0<\/em>spells out based on a translation of its reporting<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Any person of legal age shall be obliged to carry out the \u2018personal obligations\u2019 required by the competent authorities, following the guidelines of the National Security Council, when a state of crisis is declared in Spain. In this case, all citizens without exception must comply with the orders and instructions issued by the authorities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This sounds vague enough to suggest literally nothing would be off-limits<\/strong> in terms\u00a0of state authorities\u2019 massive legally enshrined reach into people\u2019s personal lives on the mere bases of a national crisis. And further there\u2019s little or nothing which establishes a clear threshold for what legally would constitute such a crisis.<\/p>\n

Throughout the pandemic we\u2019ve already seen a number of places in Europe, also especially Canada, where government officials already essentially claim such far-reaching powers to force the citizenry to conform. Now Spain is looking to permanently enshrine this scenario into law.<\/p>\n

Consider just how far this Orwellian proposal goes, as reported on in\u00a0El Pa\u00eds<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n

In the event that a state of crisis is declared in Spain (\u2018situation of interest to National Security\u2019\u00a0is the name given by law), <\/em>the authorities may also proceed to the temporary requisition of all types of property<\/em><\/strong>, at the intervention or provisional occupation of those that are necessary or the <\/em>suspension of all kinds of activities<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The backers of the future legislation are seeking to assure the public that \u201ccompensation\u201d would eventually follow; however, it would clearly given permanent and endless powers to any ruling government which decided to enact it based on a real or manufactured \u201ccrisis\u201d.<\/p>\n

Remember such insane recently enforced regulations like <\/em>*outdoor* masks<\/em><\/strong>?\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Spain's new law making face masks mandatory in all public spaces, including beaches, has been met with fierce criticism from the tourism industry, which argues it \u201cthreatens to wipe out thousands and thousands of jobs\u201d
