Soon after the Executive Chairman of the National Book Council lost a Court Case in the Constitutional Court, earning him the title of one of the very few and rare public officials having been found to abuse his power and discriminate against a public stakeholder on political grounds, held a meeting with the President of the Republic.
The National Book Council didn’t issue a statement following the historic Court decision. Neither did it try to make amends. Instead it is going on a public PR campaign, starting with a meeting with the President. They also specifically promoted an initiative with the President that is subject to an ongoing legal and commercial dispute, however I am sure that the Chairman of the National Book Council didn’t inform the President about this.
This is government by obscene fraud: a government official abusing of the highest institution of the State after the Constitutional Courts found him guilty of political discrimination.
In a functional democracy, where public institutions genuinely serve the public, the incumbent chairman would have resigned following a damning constitutional ruling. Instead, he seeks the recognition and support of the President, and everything is normalised, including outright abuse of power and government censorship
Note, that the incumbent chairman is my namesake: a sort of cruel and vindictive joke to make fun of my legacy: the same legacy thanks to which the Chairman can actually have his job.
