BARCELONA, Spain — In a scandalous backroom deal, Spain’s Socialist government has OFFICIALLY partnered with the Catholic Church to manage a pitiful compensation scheme for HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of clergy sex abuse victims. Critics are calling it a COVERT PACT designed to PROTECT the Church’s coffers and REPUTATION while offering mere pennies to survivors whose lives were destroyed. This agreement, forged behind closed doors, allows the very institution that ENABLED decades of systemic rape to retain CONTROL over the financial “reparations” it pays.
Justice Minister Félix Bolaños stood beside bishops to announce a “solution” that victims’ groups already condemn as a SHAM. The state now acts as a FRONT for the Church, funneling victim claims through a process where the bishops’ own committee STILL gets the final vote on compensation. This is NOT justice; it’s a state-sanctioned whitewash of one of history’s most pervasive cover-ups.
The numbers tell a HORRIFYING story: a damning state report suggests victims could number in the SIX FIGURES, while the Church admits to only 728 abusers—most conveniently DEAD. With a paltry 2 million euros paid so far, the math reveals a TRUTH they don’t want you to see: the calculated price tag on a stolen childhood. This deal, open for a mere YEAR, is a race against time to silence victims before the full, ugly truth explodes into the open.
When a government legitimizes its abusers, we must ask: whose side is the state really on?
