Make you hear compare Lalachus’s joke with the persecution of Christians in Syria | Culture

The ultra -rightist group made you hear this afternoon reacted this afternoon to the decision of a judge in Madrid to file his complaint against the presenters of the New Year’s Eve Campanadas de TVE, Lalachus and David Broncan Grand Prix simulating the Sacred Heart of Jesus. And he did it by comparing the humorist’s joke with the persecution of Christians in Syria: “The team already works on the brief. It becomes increasingly evident that the defense of the feelings of Christians deserves a strong defense and more with the persecution that Christians are suffering in Syria. ”

The comparison reaches a few days after the insurrection initiated by armed men linked to the old regime in the coastal provinces of Syria, which has left more than a hundred dead and has led to days of civil massacres and summary executions. All after 50 years of dictatorship and civil war that, in many cases, resulted in sectarian confrontations in a deeply multiconfesional area. Given that, the Spanish ultra -right association claimed to present more than 60,000 signatures yesterday at the headquarters of the European Parliament in Madrid to “demand that the MEPs act to protect Christians who are being massacred in Syria.”

Returning to the joke, get heard was using the crime of offense to religious feelings, in the process of extinction, to accuse Spanish television presenters to make fun of religion “having replaced Christ’s face with that of an animal with a clear eagerness of mockery and scorn.” The judge has considered, according to the car to which the country has had access, that the denounced conduct is not offensive, but a “gag” with “humorous tone” that remains “within the limits of freedom of expression.” And he adds that “the figure of Jesus Christ does not appear in the stamps exhibited, but only a heart similar to the religious image, without any religious mention in the dialogue between the two presenters.”

The magistrate understands that, therefore, none of the elements that make up article 525 of hate crimes of the Criminal Code are not fulfilled, and that the intention of the denounced was not to “hurt or undermine”, so they do not have to declare as investigated.

To make you hear, both his collection of signatures against the massacres – continues Christians – in Syria, and the complaint to the presenters of RTVE seem to be part of a “rail defense of the feelings of Christians.”
