Pope Francis pointed out that “the administration of justice begins with the media” who put together a “huge summary” sufficient to convict one person and called out the political class to “debunk a justice that is not fair”.
“Lawfare begins with the media disqualifying and suspecting a crime. These huge summaries are made and suffice it to condemn the scope of this summary, although the crime has not been found.during an interview with C5N taped before his recent hospitalization.
And he pointed out that “they condemned Lula” da Silva, the current president of Brazil, “so”, recalling that with former president Dilma Rousseff “they could not”. “A woman with clean hands, an excellent woman,” he said.
“With the smell of crime, the smoke sometimes leads you to the fire of crime. Sometimes it’s a smoke that gets lost because it has no basis. Using the smoke of the crime as reality, the lawfare begins with the media to sideline the person.marked the Pope.
And he expressed that “a judge always creates a jurisdiction, but it has to be in accordance with the law,” although he has warned against it “If you find a judge who creates jurisdiction against the law, he is a Chantapufi.”
“You have to raise your voice, you have to say if there’s an irregularity. Politicians You are on a mission to expose a justice that is not fair.he admonished.
And that’s what he said “The results of the lawfare can be seen in Argentina”.
The advance of the extreme right and the emergence of the “saviors without a story”
In another fragment of the interview, the Argentine priest referred to the advance of the ultra-right in the world and on the emergence of anti-establishment candidates.
“The far right is being reassembled, it’s strange, it’s always being reassembled. Because it’s centripetal, it’s not centrifugal, it doesn’t create opportunities for external reform. Centipedal is always on the right. The antidote to this is social justice. If you want to debate with a politician or far-right thinker, talk about social justice, talk horizontally,” he said.
Referring to the emergence of candidates who distanced themselves from the “political caste”, he recalled the events in Germany at the end of the Weimar Republic.
“They presented a new politician who spoke beautifully, who seduced people, whose name was Adolfo. And everyone said let’s try it, nobody knows him, we don’t know his roots, we don’t know his beliefs.. And everyone voted for Adolfito, and that’s how we ended up.”he showed.
“I’m afraid of rescuers without a story. When a savior comes with no story, be suspicious. We have a Savior with a story who was incarnated, became a man while growing up and was later put to death on the cross. Show me your historical ID card, show me your belongings. The same is done to any trader when they open their shop and are asked to show their papers,” he noted.
Most recently, he appealed to Argentine politicians get together “to do something for the country” and pointed to the “internalism typical of Argentines”.
“We love internal, above all. Our internalism is so pernicious that sometimes that internalism is stronger than the most important possessions,” he concluded.
“Internism destroys political affiliation. You’re radical, socialist, Peronist or whatever, but you have a political affiliation. Instead there is an internal one and that cracks political affiliation. And slowly, various sectors are forming within the party that do not have the political power to convene. What happens then in Germany“, he warned.
