What is in the letter, like this one now and his previous warnings, seem to be only the long prologue of what will one day come with a more decisive and courageous character.
Opinion – Reinaldo, call Maduro, now!
Australia is far enough away that it barely gets all the attention, but not so far away that it has many problems. The government of that country has been accused of being fascist by Elon Musk, Mr. Reason, because legislative measures are being promoted against disinformation and hoaxes. This coincides with that man’s rebellion against Brazilian judicial decisions for similar reasons and that he will now have to pay heavy fines. It also coincides with the rebellion expressed by PP and its media allies against the measures for media transparency in Spain, their advertising support and the resulting cocktail, high in toxicity and informative lies. Some still wonder what pseudo-media are, a question that should hardly go beyond rhetoric or perhaps it is a self-incrimination or self-declaration to recognize themselves as activists of paid lies.
And all this because of the decision, for the moment staggered, of the Spanish government to do something within the framework of its democracy regeneration package, which, being the thickest of the total content, in size, is still a timid and intimidated advance. In fact, it is possible that even some of the proposed measures will not see the light of day before the EU framework regulation, from which it draws its cause and obligation, enters fully into force around the second half of 2025.
In addition, the gag law will be amended, another timid attempt to do very little with a law that deserved the broad rejection and critical consensus of a large majority of the world’s legal community and freedom experts. But all little by little and, let’s say in other words, overturned.
It was thought – perhaps with naive hope – that the letter that responded to his other letter, that of Pedro Sánchez, inaugurated the end of so many pending questions.
With the same fear, now with his letters, he stumbles with crimes of words and gestures against religious feelings and nothing with another institution that continues to wear sacred attributes and garments as in historical constitutions: the monarchy.
This is also the case with the Official Secrets Act, which should rather be called unspeakable secrets. They carry these unspeakable secrets under their cloak; they contain all the pre-constitutional, transitional and unconstitutional filth.
A law of 1968, signed by Francisco Franco, which not only was not repealed when it was possible with the absolute majority of Felipe González, he will know why, but was used by him to extend his powerful cloak of secrecy in all those issues related to trade and arms trafficking with countries of doubtful or definitive absence of democracy or involved in serious cases of genocide and violence against people and their rights.
It was thought – perhaps with naive hope – that the letter that responded to his other letter, that of Pedro Sánchez, inaugurated the end of so many pending questions, not about regeneration, but about the health and very survival of democracy. But it is at a slow pace and with little determination. No trace can be traced of the intentions of the parliamentary majority, at the request of those so wounded by the judicial war, for a complete and urgent reform of the judiciary, including its procedural rules, especially those that affect the uncontrolled power of the criminal instructors, where one of their worst evils resides, namely the rightin order to adapt to the Europe around us.
What prestigious jurists have been demanding for a long time, including conservative ones, such as the galactic Laudelino Lavilla Alsina. But nothing, that of the letter, like this one now and his previous warnings, seem to be only the long prologue of what will come one day with a more decisive and courageous character. One cannot help but recall and version Francisco de Quevedo: God preserve us from long prologues.
