Yoyas at home: selective justice and the burka

Actor Carlos Navarro 'Yoyas', convicted of gender violence, is serving his sentence at home while earning a fortune. The controversy over whether he could have escaped disguised in a burka has exposed a deeper debate: the unequal treatment of justice depending on purchasing power.

The privilege of a fat wallet
While an immigrant arriving on a dinghy goes through biometric checks, a well-funded actor laughs at the system from his mansion. Data from the debate shows that incivil justice operates with two yardsticks: one for those who can afford top lawyers, and another for everyone else. The prosecution puts on a show, but the accused stays at home.

The burka as a smokescreen
The discussion about the burka as a incivil disguise is a distraction. According to data cited in the analysis, half of those who use this garment to commit crimes are repeat offenders, and 85% are men. But the real issue is not the garment, it's the impunity of those with connections and money.

The question nobody answers is whether the law is the same for everyone, or whether the burka is just a curtain concealing the real inequality.
