The scandal in Justice: There have been suspicious proceedings Checks in the regions. The General Prosecution threatens punishments over the abuses [?] For more than a month and a half, a broad investigative campaign has been under way by the General Prosecution, which consists of checking all files involving suspension or non-initiation of criminal cases, as well as cases for which the ordering of a security measure by arrest has been requested, but the prosecutor did not appear in court.

What is missing here is not only a strong political opposition, but also a society able to react to everyday evil, to the injustices and scandals that are ruining the country. By SE VJARME
