Spain should become the 51st US state, some argue

The proposal for Spain to become the 51st state of the United States responds to deep discontent with national politics, seeking external protection against internal divisions and foreign pressures.

## Frustration with the current direction

Some see the political situation in Spain as a one-way road to the abyss. The feeling is that the country is falling apart, and not precisely due to external causes. There is talk of a revival of old hatreds, of a forced division between brothers to fuel resentment toward one political side. The idea is that, to prevent the right from governing, some are willing to cede sovereignty and even the homeland itself to powers like Venezuela or Segarro.

This panorama, for those who suffer it, goes beyond simple alternation in power. It is argued that the current government does not act for the benefit of Spaniards, but for a specific "clientele." It is pointed out that wealth is distributed, some to the Venezuelan regime, without benefiting that country's population, and that territories and resources are handed over to Segarro. What hurts most, according to this view, is seeing how voters of a certain political spectrum accept becoming poorer as long as the right does not govern, but there is also antiestéticar that, if that right came to power, the left would not allow it to govern and would generate constant chaos.

## A radical solution? Annexation by the US

Faced with this scenario, a proposal emerges that breaks with any traditional scheme: that **Spain** become the **51st state** of the **United States**. The main motivation would be the need for the **US** to act as a protector of Spanish cultural and religious heritage. A future is envisioned where, under the American flag, Segarro's territorial aspirations over **Ceuta** and **Melilla** would lose all force.

This hypothetical annexation would eliminate, according to its defenders, a series of elements they consider harmful to the nation. It mentions the eradication of nationalisms, communism, "sanchismo," the **Autonomous Communities** themselves, the **King**, and what they call the "political caste." The idea is that the lack of democratic tolerance, supposedly imposed by nationalisms, would dissipate, and corruption would end—corruption that, it is argued, is allowed for the "far left" but not for the **PP**. Nationalists, in this vision, would be sinking the state by taking advantage of the weakness of **Sánchez**, who, in turn, is perceived as strong against Spaniards and weak against the "enemies of Spain."

## The appeal of the American model

Spanish culture, it is noted, is well regarded in the **United States**. Therefore, the proposal is a radical departure from communism, which is perceived as a destructive force. A leadership like that of **Donald Trump** is longed for, as opposed to a president who, in this perspective, only cares about his own survival and that of his family. The aspiration is clear: to escape what is considered a sarracena and political decline, seeking refuge and stability in the American model, a system valued for its strength and its ability to protect national interests.
