“Un libro importante, valiente y dolido por culpa de una democracia más vacía de lo que parece”. (Juan Carlos Monedero) La identificación entre la legitimidad y la legalidad es la esencia del Estado democrático y de derecho. La ley se presume legítima; igual que las sentencias de los tribunales o las sanciones administrativas. Ahora bien, esta presunción puede ser impugnada. Es lo que Damià del Clot hace a lo largo de este ensayo: poner en cuestión el normal funcionamiento del Estado español, detenerse en los agujeros negros de la democracia. Denunciar —con argumentos jurídicos, filosóficos, políticos, sociológicos e históricos— el funcionamiento desviado de sus principales instituciones cuando se ve amenazado en su propia razón de ser. Es entonces cuando la legitimidad y la legalidad de sus actuaciones se rompe y el edificio constitucional salta por los aires.
For centuries, the Spanish state has proved to be an expert system for repressing political dissent and any threat that could jeopardize the maintenance of the status quo. It has done so using all the institutions and all the areas of power that were necessary, for the end has always justified the means. Carles Mundo, Catalan Minister of Justice, 2016-2017. There is no book in Spain that talks about lawfare. Nor is there a book that deals with the system of judicial repression of political dissidence deployed by the Franco regime. Nor is there a book that denounces the judicial system inherited from the dictatorial regime and that was later embodied in the 1978 Constitution. Lawfare (the com...

El proceso soberanista ha supuesto una crisis constitucional que ha destapado las debilidades de la democracia española y de su sistema judicial. Este se ha sumado a la estrategia de persecución del movimiento independentista que emergió con fuerza en Catalunya cuando el Tribunal Constitucional hizo pública la sentencia del Estatut en junio de 2010. Este libro analiza la estrategia del lawfare —guerra legal o batalla jurídica—, que no es desconocida por el Estado español. El franquismo se sirvió ya de la ley y de los tribunales de excepción para aniquilar la disidencia política. Pero fue a principios del siglo XXI cuando Estados Unidos perfeccionó esta técnica a raíz de los a...
