Judge Baltasar Garzón is being investigated by Spain’s supreme court, charged with ‘perverting the course of justice’.
Thirty-five years after the death of General Francisco Franco, Spain is finally prosecuting someone in connection with the crimes of his dictatorship, and of the Spanish civil war which came before it. Unfortunately, the defendant in the case is Baltasar Garzón, the judge who sought to investigate those crimes.

Socialist Prime Minister Jose Felipe Zapaterro called a Federal election for November 20th , 2011 – his term of office was not due to expire until March 2012, he made the decision a full 12 months before then.
Why did he select the anniversary of the death of the fascist dictator Francisco Franco for the election he already knew he would lose?
Even before the full economic picture of Spain’s dire financial situation is revealed by Popular Party (PP) leader Manuel Rajoy, we are witnessing the “Inquisition” style persecution of Baltasar Garzon by the fascist element that lay dormant as the economic good times rolled. Everyone has been feeding at the trough, even the Royal Family is being investigated as the King’s son-in-law faces charges of mis-appropriation of funds from corrupt regional governments.
No place like home.
