It is not difficult at all to identify the media extension of Cerdán’s hitmen operation. There is a phrase that has left a tell-tale trace: the patriotic UCO. It is one of those labels whose creation was in dispute. Until now. It is to be hoped that no one will claim its authorship anymore. In Pedraz’s summary, it is clear that the virus came from a laboratory.

We found the discipline with which certain communicative operations of what José Ignacio Wert dubbed “the synchronized” were deployed to be very overwhelming. It is hypnotic, like those human mosaics on parade days in Kim Il-sung Square in Pyongyang. I suppose that those who one day raised their colored cardboard at Ferraz’s signal will now deny having been there. Spanish life and, of course, the media are riddled with corruption. It is summaries like Pedraz’s that allow us to appreciate the marbling of our flesh.
Gullibility will have done its job. The herd mentality has contributed to viralizing the formula of the patriotic UCO; I mean that not all are as wicked as they are stupid, but at this point in the farce, no one in their right mind would deny the existence of a hybrid brigade of journalists and analysts who have provided the sewer with a service only slightly more refined than Leire Díez’s. They have projected onto their adversary exactly what they were doing: assembling a mud machine that would allow them to circulate all kinds of slanders publicly to intimidate judges, prosecutors, agents, and journalists.

It is these militant trenches like El Plural, Crónica Libre or Gaspar Zarrías’s consultancy, with fictitious activity and clandestine purpose, with which power has made all kinds of triangulations.
The point is that, far from being a free electron, Leire Díez is not such an anomalous specimen of the socialist biosphere, subjected to an aberrant selection by which the coarsest, the most intellectually dull, the most aggressive survive. The most sectarian. The fundamental thing here is that there would be no Leire Díez if there were no Santos Cerdán before, and there would be no Santos Cerdán if there were no Pedro Sánchez before. There is a natural process in any organization by which it increasingly resembles its leader, and a decade will have passed since Pedro Sánchez took over the general secretariat of the PSOE.
