Yesterday, the digital newspaper <a href=\"https:\/\/es.e-noticies.cat\/politica\/govern-multa-silvia-orriols-con-10-000-euros\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">E-Not\u00edcies announced<\/a> that <strong>the Catalan regional government has imposed a fine of 10,000 euros on a mayor, S\u00edlvia Orriols<\/strong>, of the separatist party Alian\u00e7a Catalana, <strong>for reasons of opinion<\/strong>, something incompatible with Article 20 of the Spanish Constitution, which protects the right to freedom of speech.<\/p>\n<p>In all democratic countries, <strong>those who sanction any abuse of that right should be judges<\/strong>, and not officials at the service of political power. What the Catalan government does, <strong>imposing government sanctions for reasons of opinion, is something typical of undemocratic regimes<\/strong> such as those supported by the far-left separatist party that governs that region, <strong>Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC)<\/strong>, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esquerra.cat\/ca\/una-delegacio-cubana-visita-esquerra-11445\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">has openly shown its sympathy for the dictatorships of Cuba<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/VAQzT\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Venezuela<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><big>A heavy fine for criticizing Islam in a televised debate<\/big><\/p>\n<p>The fine confirmed yesterday by the Catalan regional government was announced on October 22, 2023 by S\u00edlvia Orriols, in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/orriolsderipoll\/status\/1716168947408527513\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a Twitter message<\/a> in which it was indicated that the fine is for some opinions expressed in a televised debate in May 2022, in which <strong>Orriols considered mass immigration of origin a \"mistake\". Islamic<\/strong>, stating that Muslims <em>\"do not recognize European democracies or our civil laws\"<\/em> and warning about <strong>the risk that Islamic law will end up being imposed on the entire society<\/strong>, as happens in many Islamic countries.<\/p>\n<p><big>The Justice dismissed a complaint in this case<\/big><\/p>\n<p>The Catalan government's own document alluded to the <strong>filing by Justice of a complaint against the mayor for these opinions<\/strong>, through archiving decree 523\/2022. This indicates that <strong>Justice did not see reasons for sanctioning these opinions<\/strong>, as they are protected by the constitutional right to freedom of expression. Thus, <strong>the Catalan government usurps exclusive functions of judges to amend their decisions and violate a constitutional right.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Criticism of Islam and massive immigration of Islamic origin has been <strong>qualified as \"Islamophobia\" by the same left that constantly attacks Christianity<\/strong>, encouraging not only criticism of this religion (something legitimate), but also disguising as \"freedom of expression\" the derision of Christians. It must be remembered that in 2001 <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/uhDx2#selection-409.34-409.80\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the European Court of Human Rights noted that Islamic law violates human rights<\/a>. Today, <strong>the Catalan regional government would be able to fine the judges who handed down that sentence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><big>Separatism has turned Catalonia into a bastion of Islamic extremism<\/big><\/p>\n<p>It must be remembered that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2017\/08\/19\/hispanofobia-el-odio-a-espana-fomento-y-facilito-el-trabajo-al-islamismo-en-cataluna\/\">Catalan separatism has for years encouraged immigration of Islamic origin out of simple Hispanophobia<\/a>, since immigrants from Hispanic American countries speak Spanish and it is more difficult to convince them that they should only speak in Catalan. As a consequence of this, <a href=\"https:\/\/es.e-noticies.cat\/politica\/cataluna-estado-islamico-europa\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Catalonia has become the bastion European Islamic Extremism<\/a>. The Catalan regional government now goes one step further and <strong>imposes fines that convey the feeling that Islamic law prevails in Catalonia<\/strong> and criticism of Islam is no longer permitted. And all this while the left exhibits its hostility and waves the flag of secularism against Christianity.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: Efe.
