Let's debate a bare-minimum program for the bubble crowd

National salvation: the menu of extremes dividing the discontented

Fifty measures, grouped into five blocks, presented as a national salvation government program. From banning political parties to closing borders, including the privatization of public media and the elimination of all subsidies. Although presented as a debate exercise, the list reveals the deep divide between those who believe Spain needs a radical change and those who consider many of these proposals unworkable or downright authoritarian.

The hard core: parties, media and subsidies
Among the recurring proposals, the banning of political parties stands out, along with the privatization or closure of RTVE (Spain's public broadcaster), and the elimination of all public funding for media and NGOs. The repeal of the 2030 Agenda and the imprisonment of politicians going back to 1978 are also raised. However, some analyses point out that banning parties is counterproductive and that the focus should be on cutting their funding and exposing their corruption.

Borders, immigration and feminism
In the social block, the proposed measures include the immediate closure of borders, the phased expulsion of irregular immigrants and a review of naturalizations. Repealing the feminist laws and restoring women's traditional role are also suggested. The most extreme proposal goes as far as demanding the deportation of all Roma people and the creation of psychological courts to assess citizens' fitness.

A bare-minimum program or a catch-all?
The author of the debate acknowledges that many measures are incompatible with each other and that the goal is to find a consensus. But the responses show an ideological dispersion that makes any agreement difficult. While some demand a hard line against immigration, others focus on housing or energy. The lack of a common axis turns the initiative into a catalog of frustrations rather than a viable program.

What the debate makes clear is that, even among those who share a pessimistic diagnosis of Spain, the prescriptions diverge to the point of contradiction. The question left hanging: is there really a common minimum that could unite all the discontented?
