A wave of those disgusting operational sentences could be expected. That melody so recognizable that violence is counterproductive, that it only harms the cause and that it only serves to make arguments to the adversary. That flaccid condemnation that is not a condemnation but a lament.

Catalonia is much worse than I thought. Independence is already in a morally inferior stage than the already minimal of the operative condemnation. And here it is possible to generalize, because from the bourgeois to the revolutionary, from the institutional to the street, the independence movement raped from the first hour some detainees who, in the best case scenario, ignored everything.

President Quim Torra could have eluded the matter with vague references to the presumption of innocence but that would imply recognizing a certain legitimacy for the Spanish Justice. So the vicar opted for the dangerous path, which is that of unequivocal solidarity: "They are trying to rebuild a story of violence before sentences."

Despite how rough this picture is becoming, it is worth stopping at the phrase. The cowardice of the implicit subject does not prevent the identification of the Civil Guard and the judges as the muñidores of the conspiracy. In straight language, the president of the Generalitat accuses Justice and the Security Forces of making the signs that will help them undertake political arrests in the framework of an operation to punish nationalism. And all this without even waiting to know the results of the proceedings.

The very nature of the CDR makes them uncontrollable. They are autonomous organizations, not hierarchized or attached to a common strategy. The CDRs are the cursed temptation of procés, an overcoming of traditional independence organizations. Its proliferation allowed to strip of its responsibility some leaders who could already allege that there was a town in march.

Now an even more dangerous doctrine is being established, a kind of general amnesty according to which violence is literally impossible in an independentist. Although all live subjugated by a tyrannical state that would not leave them another alternative of political participation.

The presumption of innocence has been replaced by the impossibility of guilt. Such providence was dictated yesterday by the president of the Generalitat and it is very serious that the unforgettable " Apreteu, apprehensive ".
