Pedro Pacheco: “I left prison, but prison has not left me”
The Andalusian politician defends the validity of his famous phrase: “Justice is a joke”.
Pedro Pacheco was mayor of Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz) for 24 years – from 1979 to 2003 –, an Andalusian and also a European parliamentarian for the now defunct Andalusist Party, and he became famous for coining a phrase that perhaps determined his future: “Justice is a joke”. It was his reaction, in 1985, to the annulment, by the Territorial Court of Seville, of the demolition order of the chalet that the singer Bertín Osborne had built without the required urban planning permits.
