Independent views in freedom
Lecture given at the Madrid Association of Family Businesses (AMEF), September 23rd, 2021 As Henry VIII said to each of his six wives, I will not keep you long. A few years ago, a friend recommended to me a book by a Korean philosopher that begins with a shocking sentence: “Freedom has been an episode”. …
The recent Supreme Court ruling allowing the conditional implementation of covid passports as a requirement to enter certain establishments contradicts repeated rulings of regional High Courts of Justice and even a previous ruling of the Supreme Court itself (four weeks earlier!) with arguments so far removed from logic and science that they produce a certain …
Every civilized society must protect its children. Are we fulfilling this duty?

If in March the Journal of the American Medical Association said that “there is no evidence to suggest that facemasks worn by healthy people are effective in preventing people from getting sick with respiratory infections.”[1] a recent Cochrane …
The underlying cause of this claustrophobic, sad and ruined Spain is not the Covid itself but rather the tyranny of the incompetents, their ineptitude, their deceptions and their indifference to the suffering of others.
