Spain contemplates an additional measure of immunity for high authorities, civil servants and public officers, which consists on being tried by a court that is superior to the legal ordinary one, in case that they have committed a felony. This figure, known as «aforamiento», is practically inexistent in the western legal culture to which our country belongs. Furthermore, its extension is shameful, since more than 250.000 high authorities, civil servants and public officers benefit from this privilege, making it indefensible before normal citizens. It is also unconstitutional for the reasons we explain in this paper, because it represents a privilege that is contrary to the principle of equality before the law. This study proposes a drastic reduction, maintaining the privilege for a maximum of two constitutional figures, the head of state and the head of government, a purpose that evidently requires a constitutional reform. |
