The conservatives make August in the TC

Be wary of those who work in the summer and may be on vacation. That someone hides dark interests. The most innocuous of his motivations may be that we are dealing with a stingy who is only willing to scratch his pocket when the summer prices already mark the start of the low season. But there may be darker reasons. Escaping from family obligations, for example. Or even worse, pretend to go on vacation twice. One, staying in the office in August to beat the crap because there is nothing to do, and another, going off to laze when the workload increases again with the autumn return to normality.

The rule also applies to the magistrates of the Constitutional Court (TC). Only that there the interests can be even more shameful. For example, hindering from the judiciary the negotiation process between political parties so that the new legislature can begin. That, and nothing else, is what the popular deputies have done, excuse me, magistrates!, César Tolosa and Concepción Espejel from the TC's Holiday Room, knocking down the amparo appeal of Carles Puigdemont and Toni Comín on their order of arrest in Spain. One way like another to add fuel to the labyrinthine chimney of negotiations with the cover provided by the robes. what was said Always be wary of anyone who presumes to work at the time of year when laziness is almost a medical prescription.

The reasoning with which the right-wing magistrates Tolosa and Espejel build the legal argument with which they knock down the appeal of the former president of the Generalitat and his former Minister of Health are a joke. A poorly orchestrated dissimulation that only intends to keep for the gallery some forms that in reality are definitely lost.

The two conservative magistrates have played at making politics adding turbidity to the negotiating game that is taking place at the moment for control of the Congress Table and the subsequent inauguration of the president. If the negotiating gate between the socialists and the junteros is already tiny enough, let's see if we can narrow it a little more. The reader will say that these statements can only be conjectures. True, that's right. Only white and bottled most of the time is nothing but milk.

The particular vote of the third member in discord of the Vacation Room, the progressive Laura Díez, openly alerts against the potting of her two companions. There was no rush to resolve and even less to move away from the doctrine followed until now by the court itself of admitting any appeal related to the process for processing so that it would later be the plenary room of the TC who would resolve.

Beyond the legal impact of the decision, whose end would surely have been the same, its political background is of great interest. It takes us back to the shamelessness with which in Spain the ideological affiliation of magistrates is trafficked to ensure certain decisions to the detriment of others, in addition to the capricious use of the calendar in the most convenient way for the benefit of political intentions. It is not just a problem for conservative judges. The self-styled progressives participate in the same game, only that their obligatory homage has other recipients. Justice likes politics too much.

Since the TC has not had any prestige for a long time, without the merit of the disaster being monopolized by either the right or the left, it can be argued that it does not matter if it continues to be determined to shoot itself, even if it is with a small caliber, as in this occasion, at the feet. It is true that there is no way to reduce the credibility of someone who stubbornly worked to lose all of it. Seen this way, we may actually be exceeding the judgment and that in reality there is no such thing. After all, the TC has only acted as TC. One more time.
