The Bildu decision, while deplorable, seems to me something that any Government over the past 20 years could have forestalled by making it illegal for candidates convicted of serious crimes to run for public office.
Not for the first time, I ask myself whether Spanish politics is *entirely* performative, on all sides, at every level, forever? 🙄
Right, and then we get into criminal law reform (another one), underlying legal philosophy, and even major constitutional reform, becuase voting is a fundamental right in a democracy. Will be interesting to see where this one goes.
