Enough with all the lies and the justification of the blackmailing of a society
Letter to the attention of the Members of the European Parliament
Dear colleagues,
In view that after each action taken by the Spanish democratic state, the Catalan secessionist propaganda spills lies, we are forced to point out some objective data regarding the court order that has sent to prison two independent leaders accused of the serious crime of sedition.
All of the above can be found in the document written by the Court of Instruction N3 of Madrid. It is a public document consisting of 15 pages, with all the guarantees of the law.
Some colleagues want to legitimize the coercion to the state. They talk about conflict. About political prisoners. About lack of democracy. Defending the blackmailing of a society, taking it hostage and sending a message to the government of a country saying "if you do not do as we demand, there will be consequences" is highly unacceptable.
Failure to recognize the law means breaking the social contract and committing a crime. The rule of law is what makes us respectable and respected human beings. Without it, in this postmodern society, we have disorder and chaos, we have the law of the most daring ones and the law of the ones that handles fake news in social networks.
Greetings,
Maite Pagazaurtundúa
