To questions from diary, Bonell has pointed out that this is a judicial matter and that the police intervention is framed in the actions of the body and in what is established by the Penal Code. “It corresponds to me prudently to wait for the judicial response”, he said.
The Head of Culture has confirmed that the work continues to be part of the catalog of the Public Library and that there is no provision to withdraw or set it aside until there is a judicial resolution. In fact, he explained that the book is kept on reserve and can be consulted on demand. “Andorra is a state of law, within this state of law there is first the freedom of expression“, he remarked.
Asked if the work can continue commercializing at principality, Bonell has acknowledged that he does not know the specific reasons for the police intervention and which edition is the one being sold in the bookstore. In this sense, he pointed out that it could be a critical edition, with contributions of researchers and academic contextualization of the original text, although he has not been able to confirm it. The minister has insisted that, for now, culture will keep the copy in the Public Library and will wait for the pronouncement of the judicial authorities.
