Through the tracking of landmark criminal cases, from the trial of Lluís Companys to the disqualification of Baltasar Garzón, the authors provide a documented critical vision regarding the lack of judicial independence and the authoritarian legacy in the administration of justice. A work that invites reflection on the role of judges and the democratic quality of the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis essay examines how certain ideological and legal inertias inherited from the Franco regime have conditioned the actions of the judiciary in democracy. The authors, with direct experience in judicial practice, review historical and contemporary cases to evidence what they consider to be structural bias. The book does not only describe the facts, but offers a documented analysis of the laws, rulings, and mechanisms that have allowed for this continuity, becoming a well-founded denunciation from within the judicial system itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePersistence of Francoism in Spanish judicial institutions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of key criminal cases: Lluís Companys, Baltasar Garzón, and others.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritique of the lack of independence and the partiality of the judiciary.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAuthoritarian legacy in current legislation and jurisprudence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between politics, justice, and historical memory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor readers interested in the recent history of Spain, the functioning of the judicial system, historical memory, and the critical analysis of democratic institutions.
