Everything that comes out of the newspaper “Documento” causes deep reflection, sadness and disgust in every democratic citizen, regardless of party preferences.

These are critical hours for democracy and justice.

For citizens’ trust in institutions and the political system.

The important thing is that justice will eventually rise to the occasion, and especially if the political system eventually defends its basic dignity as well as democracy.
