A government must ensure the general interest and compliance with the law<\/strong>, based on the equality of all citizens. From the moment a government allies itself with a criminal organization, these two requirements of any good government are under threat, especially if the government agrees to change the laws to benefit the criminals. criminals that he has as allies, violating our right to be treated equally before the law.<\/p>\n In Spain we have seen something as abnormal as a government that promotes an amnesty law to erase the crimes committed by its parliamentary allies<\/strong>, simply because these allies said that they would only support S\u00e1nchez's re-election in exchange for < strong>an amnesty, something openly unconstitutional<\/strong>, as S\u00e1nchez himself and his ministers had been saying until last summer.<\/p>\n But it is not enough for the government to exhibit political corruption as evident as that<\/strong> (because approving illegal measures to benefit friends and obtain a personal benefit in return is political corruption of the worst kind). This week, a minister from Pedro S\u00e1nchez's government has launched into criticizing a judge<\/a> for continuing to fulfill his duty to prosecute crimes committed by the government's allies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n As could be expected, this new attack on judicial independence has caused a protest from the General Council of the Judiciary<\/a>, pointing out that the minister's statements\"are contrary to the principle of institutional loyalty, to the general duty to respect judicial independence inherent to a consolidated rule of law<\/strong> and member of the European Union, one of whose essential values is the separation of powers, essential for make the value Justice a reality, because only judges who are trusted by their fellow citizens will be able to provide the right to effective judicial protection<\/strong> for the prevalence of the common values of the Rule of Law.<\/em><\/p>\n
