Entering March, with the first of the four months of the trial on the attempted coup d'etat in Catalonia already officiated, everything pointed to the fact that the president of the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court, Manuel Marchena, was the great leader to endorse the criminal qualification provisional that had been carried out by the investigating judge, Pablo Llarena: crime of rebellion due to alteration of the constitutional order, not sedition for breach of public order. Quite the opposite of what, in the end, has happened in one more milestone of that fair of unanimities - a matter of The Bonfire of the Vanities of Tom Wolfe where he describes the "bank of favors" that made American Justice operate - in that the Highest Court has submerged in terms of compromised and compromising decisions. Thus, when they are questioned, they may shout that, as in Fuenteovejuna, they have done Justice all at once and thus dilute any individual responsibility.

The assessment of Llarena, for whom the secessionist process is a movement in progress, had been unanimously revalidated by three other supreme magistrates, as well as by the Attorney General's Office and the State Advocacy, and the president of the Second Chamber and rapporteur gave That belief Despite this widespread feeling, that Marchena seemed to endorse with his handling of the baton at the trial, after a hesitant premiere, there were those inside the Hall, with a great shaft and experience, he was not so clear. On the contrary, it was mischievous that he played with a double deck, and thus he perceived it by making participants to those who accompanied him in a Marceño lunch between sessions.

However, the magnetism of Marchena was such that it was not difficult to harbor any doubt about whether the illustrious diner could be venting a certain rivalry - so frequent among ropones - in relation to who shared a last name with the great flamenco singer Pepe Marchena, whose sweet voice, from Canary, was received as a repairing balm in the wounded post-war Spain. "He had a marshmallow candy factory in his throat," Juanito Valderrama emphasized, although some colleagues did not forgive him for his success by opposing his sweet singing to his petulance. Suffice it to point out as anecdote the day when the teacher agreed to meet a young fan - then a great flamenco artist and critic, Manuel Martín Martín - whom he quoted at ten in the morning delaying his arrival until noon. Moment in which he presented himself with an impeccable macarene green terno - like the mantle of the Sevillian virgin -, hat of the same color, apologizing for this guise: "Chiquillo, do you not know how much time it takes to dress Marchena?".

Evoking those confidences around a table, there is no doubt that Judge Marchena was maneuvering so that this time - as a scalded cat - the same thing did not happen to him when PSOE and PP endorsed his frustrated appointment as president of the Council of the Judiciary and the Supreme , and had to resign when uncovering that gatuperio between Pedro Sánchez and Pablo Casado , following a journalistic leak of Minister Delgado. Putting on the bandage before the wound, Marchena slipped that her predisposition was that of a conviction for rebellion, but that this was revealed impossible since the Prosecutor's Office, in its final conclusions, would follow the rectification path of the State Advocacy, once dismissed Edmundo Bal by a Government supported by secessionist votes.

That shadow of suspicion was especially damaging to the credibility of some prosecutors who had beaten copper by supporting the imprint of their top manager, the ill-fated José Manuel Maza, whose life was lost in the effort. In fact, after his unexpected death at a Buenos Aires clinic, the four Sala prosecutors endured the pulse of his successor Sánchez Melgar, who, at his own risk, requested provisional release for the former Catalan Interior Minister Forn on the basis of a disease that was not even known to his lawyer.

Can you imagine the scandal that would have been registered if the court that tried the coup-makers of 23-F had resolved that everything had been the reverie of a lieutenant colonel thundering?

With that premiere of Aúpa, the ghost of the submission of the Public Prosecutor's Office to the conveniences of the Government reappeared. In fact, it sounded like a movie and seen with the ETA members of Juana Chaos and Bolinaga, released on account of their state of health. However, the torticero design of the attorney general to release Forn was left in borage water when he suffered the uproar of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court. Melgar remained as La Chata for pleasing Rajoy who, blind as a newly born cat, wanted to force his hand like in poker in that policy of appeasing nationalism that knows no dividing line between parties.

Then, with Sánchez in La Moncloa, a new attempt would be registered with the new state prosecutor, María José Segarra, who arrived from Seville preceded by his good services to the PSOE in the dismissal of corruption. Segarra faced the roquedal of the quartet of prosecutors. This forced a disgruntled Minister Delgado to dismiss the State's lawyer by the braves. Not surprisingly, if the downgrading of rebellion to sedition was not requested by anyone , it was very difficult for the High Court to do so. In fact, that had been a persistent claim by Sánchez's separatist partners.

Therefore, the theatricality of Marchena sought to look good at the expense of a Prosecutor's Office that had left his teeth endorsing the tireless work of the instructor Llarena, who processed by rebellion the 13 leaders of the uprising. In response to the final resolution of the Supreme Court, Marchena's behavior refreshes a delicious mishap of Caracol El del Bulto , father of Manolo Caracol and a jayster of Joselito El Gallo . When he got off the train at the Atocha station, where he arrived with a great delay from Seville, the Express locomotive hit a steam train that soaked it whole. Spare part of the scare, the one of the package recomposed the figure, faced the machine and ventured his anger: "That roneo, balls, in Despeñaperros".

Similarly, many regret that Marchena's roneo during the trial did not transfer him better to the sentence, instead of adorning himself in the sessions. However, first he tried to protect himself in the Public Prosecutor's Office and then, in view of his firmness, he washed his hands scrutinizing unanimously to offer the ruling that the government wanted, including the betrayal gate that is not required of the rebels comply with at least half of the sentence as required by the Prosecutor's Office. Enjoying an absolute majority or having an absolute minority, with characters such as Pascual Sala or Cándido Conde-Pumpido de arietes, the PSOE has been imposing its partisan jurisprudence since, through the Organic Law of the Judicial Power of 1985, declared "constitutional" by Constitutional Court, Alfonso Guerra will decree the death of Montesquieu and the separation of powers.

Cry to heaven that the unanimous magistrates of the 1-O ruling, like the picador's horse that covers its eyes so as not to see the morlaco, call a mere "reverie" a blow against the constitutional legality that saw all of Spain and forced to King Don Felipe to publicly require the intervention of State institutions to face the proclamation of the independence of Catalonia. As his father did when Tejero's assault to overthrow a Suarez who anticipated resigning so that restored democracy was not a parenthesis in the history of Spain. Does anyone imagine the scandal that would have been recorded if the military court that tried the coup plotters of 23-F had resolved that everything had been the reverie of a lieutenant colonel thundered and that the battle tanks that Milans del Bosch took to the streets of Valencia were a merely apparent movement intended only to pressure the Government to negotiate? Not only was it not so, but President Calvo-Sotelo appealed the sentence so that, within the scope of the Supreme Court, the penalty was the maximum contemplated by the codes.

When the genius of Rafa Latorre titled his book on the process, it will be necessary to swear that all this happened , no one could believe that it would be through a ruling of the Supreme Court that issues its particular damnatio memoriae to take for granted events that have taken place . If in the instruction, judges and prosecutors prevented the rule of law from surrendering "to the violent determination of a part of the Catalan population", Room II has contributed to the purpose of the Government and its parliamentary partners to settle the issue with an armistice that makes the coup episode be considered as not happening.

In relation to the Supreme Court ruling, and given the artificiality of his arguments to avoid a conviction for rebellion, his multi-handed prose seems to recreate the scene of Jacinto Benavente's The Interests Created, when Crispin starts the freedom of his master from the judge dancing the order of the commas in the sentence of condemnation: "See here: where it says ... 'And as it turns out not, it must be condemned', it should be the comma, and it says: 'And it turns out that it should not be condemned ...'" . This makes Crispin proclaim: "Oh, admirable comma! Wonderful comma! Genius of Justice!" All that art of birlibirloque leads him to cynically conclude: "Better than creating affections is creating interests." Therefore, it is one thing to comply with the sentence, and another thing is to commune with the mill wheels of a conviction for sedition under the tragala that this facilitates its subsequent ratification by the Constitutional and Strasbourg, but that is an incentive for judged and those who support them. If a State does not respect its own laws, it will not claim that others do so for it.

The candidate Sánchez will only apply the law when he rents electorally

In the outcome of the 1-O ruling, the brief May dialogue between Sánchez and Junqueras necessarily takes place on the occasion of the constitution of the new Cortes. When the ERC leader said "we have to talk" and the acting president replied: "Don't worry." If Rajoy, confusing reality with desire, the alleged moderation of Junqueras was believed against Puigdemont, but when he wanted to curb the declaration of independence and call elections to avoid article 155, he was pushed by ERC accusing him of having sold for "155 silver coins, "Rufián said, now the PSOE travels along the same wrong path to redirect the Catalan crisis.

This grips Sanchez when it comes to solving how to quell an ongoing insurrection that consumes independence in the street. The eternal candidate Sánchez will only apply the law when he rents electorally. Like the social democrat Schröder, who won the German elections that he had lost in 2002 wearing the boots of water in the severe floods of Saxony and then forming a government with the Greens. In the same way, Sanchez can tighten, if necessary, the jaw with independence before 10-N, if he continues to rush into the polls, then relax and go smiling to meet him. Like Iceta, opposing a motion of censure against Torra, and the following week calling for his urgent resignation.

Recalling the February Lessons , Solzhenitsyn wondered how the Russian revolution of 1917 came about when the insurgents were not prepared for it and concluded that the main reason was the inoperance of a government that "always hoped that everything would be fixed only" doing that the tsarist regime would fall in days. Nor here the contemplative attitude of the Government will serve to replenish the law and order as a safeguard for citizens. The State seems to have forgotten its own strength as the Kipling elephant on the basis of not exercising it. This gives wings to an independence movement that can only win against those who decline their duty.

Between the 155 that could be assumed by all the constitutionalist parties and the sentence that could be signed by all the supreme judges, the independence system primes the bomb of victimhood, fattens the eyes, guarantees its impunity and accelerates the march so that the process it is irreversible before a State that commits suicide trying to appease the tiger that will devour it with the resignation, but without its desire to fight, of the Christians thrown to the arena of the Roman circus to the satisfaction of the plebs and pride of their Caesar. The premature deaths of the prosecutor Maza and the Barcelona judge Ramírez Sunyer who undertook the investigations on the 1-O have freed both of them from the penalty of knowing the ruling of a Supreme Court that, as a culmination of an extreme politicization of Justice, has bandaged both eyes and blind at all is driven by the guide of political power.
