I'm awaiting the result of the success or otherwise of the McCann request for an annulment with great interest and not only from a partisan viewpoint.
Despite the oft stated belief that there was no leave to appeal following a Supreme Court Ruling ... it is now evident that was wrong and that such rulings may be open to question in appropriate circumstances.
Judges cannot be seen to be allowed to overturn the provisions of a written Constitution in a parliamentary democracy.
What on earth fuelled the arrogance of these three individuals to assume that they would be allowed to do just that?
I wouldn't bank on this if I was you. The Portuguese Justice System is now looking like real shit, and totally devoid of Justice. Have at it, as they may.
Personally, I don't really care anymore. I am just appalled, and nothing to be done. The PJ still have the dregs of the fascists which will only die when the old men die.
The day will come.
But I'll tell you what. No other person will ever fall down some steps of a Police Station, and no one will ever be tortured again to extract a "Confession."
This alone is what Madeleine has done for Portugal. I do most sincerely hope that The McCanns can see this.
It is the best ever.
