[Fegasderty]

Spain, leading proponent of harming Jews in Israel, key supporter of Nuremberg law style boycotts of Jewish businesses, is - what do you know - a Catholic nation that gives tax money to Catholic churches and affords Catholic organizations special privileges.

The present government of Spain, a socialist government, in name at least, has:

increased by 34% the percentage of their income tax that citizens may give to the Catholic church, abandoned proposals to reform the religious freedom law and hence leave the Catholic church to enjoy privileges denied to other religions, spent millions of Euros of public money on the recent visit of the Pope, continued to finance the teaching of the Catholic religion in public schools, introduced swingeing budget cuts in all areas except the 6,000 million Euro given by the state to the Catholic church every year, continued to honor the pre-constitutional concordat with the Vatican state, an absolute monarchy with institutionalized repression of women and appointed a judge to the supreme court who is on the record as saying that real justice comes from the love of Christ.

In view of the increasingly exclusionary and discriminatory nature of the Spanish state, isn’t it time for a campaign of boycott, disinvestment and sanctions to bring the Spanish people to their senses and make them see that they have to radically reform their country to make it a state for all its citizens?
