Jump To Comment: 1 2 3There is something quite sickening about a generational attitude most prevalent amongst those secure in power on the right in contemporary Europe to child abuse.
Every European state has seen failure by their politicians and governments to put right institutionalised abuse and to investigate non-institutionalised abuse.
Amongst those countries where specific power groups have most obviously been "exonorated" for their abuse are (in no particular order) Ireland, Spain, Scotland and Belgium. There appears to be no "impetus" for change in the _darkest_ of society's collective guilt, which must be contrasted with attitudes to "war", "poverty", "exclusion" and of course "terrorism".
The attitude of which I speak may be demostrated in Ireland's administration's tardy approach to abuse as much as by that demonstrated by the regional head of government in Galicia, the notorious Manual Fraga of Aznar's PP. Fraga sees "no reason" to ask for the resignation of a town mayor of the Galician PP who has on the 23rd of January faced criminal charges for the abuse of a minor.
Yet these political interests continue attempting to ignore abuse in all it's forms from their dubious moral highground.

The greens are oppurtunistically jumping on this bandwagon.
Remember 'chemical cuffe' and their support for bin tax jailings.
before deciding that the greenies are all slimey (we know they are not all slimey, but they do have a slimey component, which they are working hard on keeping out of our sight).
Whilst you're in the pressrooms of "parties of ireland's left" you could also check the "castlemines bandwagon" which excited comments from them all as well this week.
