Fraud must be fought always and everywhere. No exceptions. Whether it comes from above or below. We're too accustomed to the "law made, trap set" mentality, a plague that comes from afar. In all cases, fraud generates and amplifies the feeling of distrust and impunity, thus spreading citizen disaffection toward institutions. The disgruntled reaction usually goes like this: "If there are people who are dedicated to breaking the rules to benefit from everyone's money, why should I comply? Why should I pay my taxes? In the end, I will be the only person who will comply with their obligations and will not break the rules." This mischief is easily contagious.

There is a fairly widespread opinion that goes like this: Orriols says what people want to hear, she talks about specific problems, about real fears. That is why they vote for her. The traditional parties have been held hostage by political correctness for a long time. She is incorrect and goes too far, her solutions are not feasible, she goes for the clash, but she says things as they are. Demonizing her is not the solution. The cordon sanitaire is not the solution.

The Spanish extreme right has found in the Madrid courts a power in which for the moment it gets away with the controversies it accumulates, as well as the alleged irregularities that corner the leaders of Vox. On the other hand, Podemos considers that it has not found more response than decisions that the party considers a clear "political persecution" for its ideas. This Monday, three decisions that affect the two parties involved and that focus on the role of the judiciary have coincided. On the one hand, the Supreme Court has ratified the sentence of 19 months in prison for the spokeswoman of the purple party and former leader of the formation in the Assembly of Madrid, Isa Serra, for opposing an eviction in the neighborhood of Lavapiés in 2014; on the other hand, the Provincial Court of Madrid has endorsed the xenophobic poster of Vox against migrant minors that appeared at the Sol metro stop in the Spanish capital during the May 4th campaign. And, thirdly, the Public Prosecutor's Office has confirmed that it will not appeal the decision of the High Court of Justice of Madrid (TSJM) not to accept a complaint against the leader of the ultra party in Madrid, Rocío Monasterio, for allegedly falsifying a building permit from the Association of Quantity Surveyors of Madrid.

Vox will be able to maintain in its electoral campaign the xenophobic poster that was hung two weeks ago in the Sol train and metro station, in the heart of Madrid, because it is part of the "form of expression" of the Spanish far-right party's immigration policies. This is at least the opinion of a judge in Madrid, who has dismissed both the complaint filed by the Public Prosecutor's Office and that of the PSOE for an alleged hate crime for the poster that criminalised an immigrant teenager who was identified as a member of the group of unaccompanied foreign minors.
