Against the Censors

Recently Pontevedra's lackeys have begun their censorship campaign against the People's Party and their Democratic Allies. It seems they think the Spanish People believe in the lies they have tried to feed us for decades. That is not the truth, we know of their covert suppression of democratic thought and the persecution of democrats and other honest Spaniards. It is vital, my friends, that we stand against this ignorance and that we fulfill our Christian task by instructing the ignorant and counseling the doubtful. For only if we battle the ignorance spread by the lackeys of Pontevedra can we achieve victory for all of Spain. For these lies they are spreading, they will not stop the suffering of the orphans, deserted by the unchristian State, after their fathers died in the struggle that was not theirs - which Pontevedra's lackeys mindlessly and merciless support, no matter the destruction and death brought by them.
Friends, this is our duty this election, to right the wrongs left by a State broken by a corrupt man and his lackeys. This is a solemn duty and a heavy burden of all Spanish people believing in a better tomorrow, in a New Dawn! I shall carry this burden, friends, and I call upon you to carry it with me. So that finally, Spain may rejoice in a New Dawn of Democracy, Peace and Prosperity. That we may rejoice that our newspapers are not filled with lies and our opinions are not censored. That all Spaniards may rejoice that their Kingdom has returned to its pious roots of the past and God-willing shall walk a pious route in the future.
This was the third of De Valle's four minutes speeches, which would be published in all PP-aligned newspapers and periodicals, while in major cities and other PP-strongholds, men would read out the speech to large parts of the Public. The first was the anti-war A New War of Independence in Iberia, which was well recieved among the many anti-war groups in Spain, who have losts their families in that useless struggle. The second, A New Dawn, focused on the traditional People's Party manifesto pledge of more democracy. The third, Against the Censors, was an open attack on the bureau of censorship, an organisation well-know for its bias against progress and his loyalty towards Pontevedra, which, following the publishing of A NEW DAWN FOR SPAIN, the PP's manifesto for the 1890 General Election, had come into motion to try and censor the speeches and texts of the People's Party. De Valle personally read this speech in Valencia, the home of his publisher when he still anonymously wrote against the corrupt institutions of Spain, which greatly frustrated his attempts to relieve the poor in his Seville parish and to establish a School for the Young. There he joined the People's Party MP for Valencia in a rally in favour of the Manifesto, which was now also read in public to frustrate attempts to censor the People's Party.
