Miriam Nogueras, the spokeswoman for Junts al Congres, vented at will against the Spanish justice system. They were not only generic attacks, but also pointed out during his intervention in the Chamber the president of the Criminal Chamber, Manuel Marchena, and several magistrates of the Supreme Court, such as Carlos Lesmes (former president of the High Court) , Pablo Llarena, Carmen Lamela or Concepción Espejel, whom he described as "indecent" and of being "complicit in the politicization of justice". He called the brothers Francisco and Diego Pérez de los Cobos, former president of the Constitutional, one, and colonel of the Civil Guard, the other, "dark characters" who participated in the legal war (lawfare) against the pro-independence parties.
Such a stomach upset had never been seen in Congress and, at the outset, led to the current president of the Supreme Court, Francisco Marín Castán, suspending the meeting he had scheduled for the same day with Félix Bolaños, Minister of Justice and Relations with the Courts. It is not that Bolaños thought the same as the deputy, nor that he accepted her words, on the contrary. But JxCat's status as a member of the Executive meant that Marín Castán wanted to show his displeasure at Nogueras' intervention. In any case, they will see each other on the 19th, because it is also not the case to slow down and increase tensions.
Pointing is ugly, but in many cases it is an irreparable mistake. Pythacus of Mytilene, who was one of the seven wise men of Greece, wrote in the temple of Apollo, in Delphi: "You must not speak ill of anyone, not even of your enemies." But the world has presumptuous wise men (and wise women) who have not come to look good, but to blow everything up. In the midst of the amnesty debate, it would be wise to measure words well, without having to compromise on concepts. It is no coincidence that the public notice was rejected not only by the associations of conservative judges and prosecutors, but also by the progressive ones. Getting formidable can mean one minute of glory and a hundred ordeals. And in politics and in the kitchen, you cannot exceed the cooking points, if we do not want to spoil the dishes and, moreover, burn ourselves. Arguiñano says it.
