The article "El corporativisme gregari" addresses the issue of corporatism in Spain, particularly in the post-Franco context. The author argues that this phenomenon, used during the Franco regime, remains deeply rooted in today's Spanish society, more so than the fig tree in Plaza Maria Agustina.
The text defines corporatism as a professional group that protects the interests of its own members above the general interest. The author proposes the term "herding corporatism" to describe the practice of some police unions, associations, and judicial institutions that involve the negligent or illegal acts of their members in silence, confusion, and delays.
According to the article, these groups create a wall of scandalous impunity around their members, protecting them from the consequences of their actions. The author questions this protection, reminding readers that being a police officer or civil guard should include training in communication skills, crisis management, and peaceful control of violence.
