When there are two laws

Now a days, specially during this crisis, it becomes much more evident that even before the double standard of the law. There is two ways of justice in Spain, and certainly every where else in this world but often they have more precautions, where today is too much evident.

It's not the same punishment for things that are morally equivalently wrong, and the worst is when the punishment depends on your social class. As rich as you are: more impunity you have.


This country is plenty of examples of this. Should be Felix Millet in jail due to a misappropriation of public founds? There are people in jail to have robbed much less, but he is not prisoner. The Catalan health system is also soiled by scandals. And the corruption of this both cases splash too many politician, when at the same time the mass media hides this informations. And even all this things the citizens have to pay an extra € per each medicine prescribed by your doctor of the public health care system. I know people who can not take the medicines because they are too expensive and to buy it they have to eat less.

Scandals of corruption jumps to the news very often in spite of the effort to cover and hide it. Where is the solidarity and equitable redistribution. Every where is the same shit.

And law doesn't act, is absolutely blind in this cases. But in the protests from the citizens in the country, we are criminalized. Even if it is a pacific protest in the street, the can accuse the citizens of resistance to the authority to make possible to punish it with jail in a similar form than if your protest is violent.

By criminalize the actions of the working class, that includes unemployed and retired, when fights for the rights and duties of this society, the problem is not solved at all: it makes it more complicated.

All of us have rights and duties, and I insist all of us. Politicians have also duties and not only their rights. Their actions won't be free of consequences. Often is said that the workers forgets our duties, but don't generalize because is not general. And why the consequences only falls down to the plebs? Many politicians and rich forgets their duty to obey the law.

But what they are doing is to change the law in order to have their own full permission to do what they like. That is not the way. Well is a way, but is not the way to live together peacefully.
