The PCE postage stamp triples the circulation after its legal victory

The controversial postage stamp that commemorates the centenary of the PCE refuses to leave the printing press and increases its circulation by 300,000 copies, as published by the Official State Gazette (BOE) this Monday.

The stamp thus emerges victorious from its confrontation against the Christian Lawyers association, which on November 12 demanded that the Justice paralyze its printing, considering it “intolerable” that a public institution such as the Post Office be used by the Government to “promote an ideology”. .

The contentious-administrative court initially halted the issuance of the stamp until it studied the case, but six days later it considered that there was no irregularity in its distribution and again gave free rein to the sale of the 135,000 reproductions of the stamp, with a price of €0.75.

However, the ‘Streisand effect’ has meant that the criticisms issued against the initiative have served as publicity and that its high demand has been rewarded with 450,000 copies that celebrate this anniversary.

This was celebrated on his Twitter account by the general secretary of the PCE, Enrique Santiago, who thanked the support of those who recognize “the important work done, among other parties, by the PCE to recover freedoms and democracy.”

Despite the fact that the judicial order ensured that the stamp followed “the legally established procedure” for its issuance, Christian Lawyers were not the only ones to censor the commemoration of the anniversary of a democratic party, but PP, Vox and Ciudadanos also joined them. criticism even going so far as to request the resignation of the president of Correos, Juan Manuel Serrano. “Communism, Nazism and fascism are totalitarian ideologies condemned by the European Parliament and which caused millions of deaths,” declared PP Senator Rafael Hernando. While from Vox they asked for a stamp in memory of the 86th anniversary of the Paracuellos massacre.
