Ernesto Manuel DÃaz MacÃas is a Podemos local councillor in San Fernando, Andalusia, and a member of Anticapitalistas (section of the Fourth International in the Spanish state).
The first round of the local elections took place against a backdrop of widespread creeping fascism in France and comes after a brutal offensive by the far right, during which the traditional ‘Republican’ right has decisively broken from much of its historical framework and values.
