Gonzalo Rodríguez García has no children and anti-proge movement faces mirror
Gonzalo Rodríguez García, one of the most frequently mentioned names in the anti-proge sphere, has no children. At least, that is what is taken for granted in the comment circuit where his figure has become a symbol of a contradiction: preaching family and not practicing it.
The response of his defenders is simple: parenthood does not give license to opine. That of his critics, too: whoever demands traditional values from the left and at the same time does not fulfill the first of them, is portrayed. In between, the label of «spiritual warrior» has become popular as a summary of a militancy without biological cost.
The demographic argument
The squabble over coherence, however, hides a background that admits numbers. The Chinese case has been cited, with 90% of the population having had at least one child, compared to a Europe where half do not have any. If the percentage of adults without children continues to grow, the care system is left without relief: who will care for a generation of grandparents without descendants, with Alzheimer's as a threat.
The personal fact of Gonzalo Rodríguez García is thus anecdotal. The uncomfortable thing is the question left open: if the battle for the family is fought by those who do not form one, what exactly are they defending?
