A former president, convicted in two instances of money laundering, pressures the National Assembly – according to one of his deputies – to open an investigation into the presiding judge of the Supreme Court because his fate and presidential candidacy is in his hands. If the claim of the complainant deputy is true, isn't what this former president does harassment or political persecution? He, who complains so much about it, does exactly the same thing. So, what morality does he have to talk about harassment or persecution if he himself doesn't know how to do anything else? In his smear campaign, he is accompanied by a deputy nominated for mayor by the convicted former president's party. What a coincidence! His pressure would respond, precisely, to the demands of the person also designated as corrupt by the United States. Their harassment is intolerable because they swear that justice is strictly tailored to their convenience. The rest is “political persecution,” according to his caricatured definition. His speeches are just trench demagoguery, with more noise than content, with more bells than Eucharist. Empty words come from beings without conscience and absurdly egocentric .— LA PRENSA, Jan. 26.
