For a week we have heard on television that Isabel Pantoja, a famous Spanish artist, was getting out of prison. If you don’t know who she is, you just need to know that she is an artist who went to jail because of money laundering. After a great career as a ‘tonadillera’, she was involved in some dark business due to her relation with Julian Muñoz, a corrupt politician that also ended in jail. It is a long story and if you are interested you can read more things here.
However, for me, the most incredible thing is what happened last Tuesday. After some months in jail, Pantoja was given a permission to get out of jail for a few days. I am not going to judge if she deserves it or not. I understand that the judge made the best decision. Probably, there are worst crimes than the one she committed but the law is supposed to be equal for everybody. This is not the subject of debate.
In mypoint of view what is terrible is that a group of fans received her when she was getting out the jail. They were there outside the jail to give their support and to cheer her. I can’t understand! Obviously you can admire somebody because of their career or music, but I think that is terrible to receive here as she was a heroine.
This woman robbed and cheated. I know she is paying for it and that everybody deserves a second opportunity but I can’t conceive receiving someone that has committed a crime this way. Something similar happened a few months ago when Leo Messi went to court because of tax offense and hundreds of supporters went there to cheer him. I can’t understand it.
I know that in life you have to forgive, but what I don’t accept is that someone that has cheated us gets an ovation. I know there are bigger problems in our world but this type of behaviour says a lot of our society that is involved in one of the worst crisis of history but is not capable to condemn unfair and illegal attitudes of famous people.
