Hairstyle against the police

Source Summary

Aznar's “let whoever can, do it” has been taken so much to heart by the Spanish nationalist right that a real competition is underway among guardians of the homeland's essence to see who can strike the strongest, and if possible, decisive blow against Pedro Sánchez's communist dictatorship, accomplice of Basque 'etarras' and Catalan coup plotters. Judge Peinado, in particular, seems to feel called to the high mission of delivering a mortal blow to perfidious Sanchezism before his own retirement arrives (in September). As is public and notorious, the way he has found to do so is a classic of fascism and mafias: attacking the relatives and closest people to the enemy, defaming them, humiliating them. Mission accomplished: Judge Peinado's instruction against Sánchez's wife, Begoña Gómez, is as extravagant, irresponsible, and unacceptable as you wish, but she will no longer be able to avoid, for as many years as she lives, that when her name is mentioned someone will associate her (want to associate her) with corruption.Out of so much zeal that they put into it, they not only incur a coup d'état, not as soft as it is sometimes called, which is perpetrated from the very institutions of the State, but they also end up stepping on each other, and this is more unusual and more ironic. Peinado, specifically, has managed to anger the police unions, for having withdrawn Begoña Gómez's passport with the suspicion that the escorts could help her flee. The National Police, accomplices of sanchismo! Where are we heading. Both the National Police and the Civil Guard have worked overtime to save Spain from any threat that could endanger its sacred unity, only to now be pointed out as possible accomplices in an eventual escape by Begoña Gómez, one of the protagonists of the most crude misogynistic memes circulating in patriotic WhatsApp groups. The main police unions, Jupol and SUP, cannot believe it and Minister Marlaska has summoned them. That is to say, he has asked the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) to act, and the CGPJ has reprimanded Peinado, even if with a significant internal division. That's fine, but it would have been better if they had clarified whether Peinado is guilty of prevarication, as the former Supreme Court magistrate Martín Pallín says. Or even better, if the judicialization of politics is not a serious problem for the rule of law. The arachnid sense, however, warns us that corporatism will prevail and that these debates about the magistracy will not take place, at least not publicly. A prominent member of the judicial leadership summarized it quite well: let them leave us alone .The Spanish right has become so enraged that, to save Spain, they don't mind destroying it. “It's okay. When we return to the power they usurped from us, we'll fix the mess,” they tell themselves. The problem is that the rule of law doesn't break and repair at will. Meanwhile, amnesty – another scandal of a judiciary that refuses to apply current law – looms on the horizon at the end of the legislative term.
