The Minister of Justice, Dolores Delgado , used an extrajudicial channel inspired by the desire for political interference to intercede with her Italian counterpart, Alfonso Bonafede , in favor of Juana Rivas , sentenced in July 2018 to five years in jail in the first instance by the International kidnapping of his two children. In a letter sent to Bonafede on August 9, Delgado, in an irregular procedure because they are two sovereign countries in which the separation of powers governs, brought him to the attention of Rivas's concern for the two minors, whose custody he maintains in Italy his father, Francesco Arcuri, by decision of the transalpine Justice, which sent medical treatment Rivas suffering a "pathological mental functioning". The minister's actions are extremely serious , since there are currently several judicial proceedings open, mainly the recourse to the two judicial decisions against Rivas, in addition to others that she filed for dismissal due to lack of evidence of some complaints of ill-treatment against her ex-husband

Delgado will have to explain what he intended with this letter, since as the Italian minister reminded him in his reply on September 16, to which this newspaper had access, the Italian judicial system guarantees the safety and welfare of minors , a priority in its legal system, as in all community countries. Delgado's letter, a minister who has been disapproved three times by Congress, among other things for her controversial talks with former Commissioner Villarejo , could provoke a diplomatic conflict if the minister does not clarify the purpose of the same and dissipates the suspicions of that his performance is driven by political and ideological issues.

Because we must not forget that both the PSOE and Podemos - even Rajoy - publicly supported Juana Rivas. This, after kidnapping her children and denouncing her husband without evidence for ill-treatment, given the weakness of her legal arguments and poorly advised by the Maracena Women's Center , decided to launch a media campaign that was used demagogically and ended for hurting him. It would be inadmissible that, after the judgments against him, the Government through Minister Delgado intended that the Justice of a sovereign State try to favor in some way the particular interests of Juana Rivas. And to do so under the banner of the fight against gender violence, a problem that affects the whole society but that the left wants to patrimonize. With the aggravating fact that cases like Juana Rivas do a disservice to all women who are real victims of abuse and abuse .
