The Court of First Instance number 39 of Barcelona has rejected to paralyze the publication of the book Hate (Anagrama), by writer Luisgé Martín, according to the car to which the country has had access. The work addresses passages from life and has the testimony of José Breton, the murderer sentenced to 40 years in prison for killing his children Ruth and José, six and two years old. He also speaks of the life of Ruth Ortiz, the mother of the children, who had requested the paralysis of the publication for illegitimate interference of the right to honor, intimacy and the image of the deceased minors. The judge considers in his letter, of four pages, that “the documents provided [en la demanda de la madre] to those who have referred are insufficient to be able to assess. ”
The lawsuit filed by Ortiz in a court in Córdoba, where it resides, collected some passages from the book reproduced in information that came out in different media – among them the first article with an extract of the book, published in The confidential-. “If we presume that the civil guardianship that is intended to obtain in the subsequent main trial requested precautionary measure would be aimed at avoiding an illegitimate interference in the honor, intimacy and the image caused in the book (…) The documents provided are not suitable for it.” The head of the Barcelona Court adds that the lawsuit is based on “journalistic articles where the book is referred, but none shows the content of the same (except for the six lines of the press release). It is absolutely impossible to be able to make a provisional and indicative judgment favorable to the estimation of the guardianship that would be collected in the main trial”.
The Minors Prosecutor’s Office, which on Thursday asked to temporarily suspend the publication of the book after the mother’s claim. The Public Ministry had claimed as a precautionary measure “provisionally suspend the publication and distribution” of the book until the Prosecutor’s Office “has been able to examine its content and issue an opinion.” “This is a request unheard of part Since the requested measure is interested in the suspension of the publication of a book scheduled for next March 26, 2025 ″, the Court adds. The magistrate also argues that what they contributed are newspaper articles where reference is made to the book “but none shows the content of the book.” And he adds that “it is not possible to clearly determine” the gender to which the book belongs (in reference to whether it is fiction or non -fiction) “being this a matter of special transcendence when weighing the limits of freedom of expression.”
Ortiz’s lawyer also claimed Burofax to the Anagrama publishing house that stopped the publication of the volume, whose departure was initially scheduled on Wednesday, March 26. The publishing house published on Friday a statement in which it expressed “that both the author and the publisher are in their right to publish this work”, although he added that they will wait “to what the judicial resolutions indicate.”
