Politics and crime

Abstract

Differences and coincidences between the logic of Politics and the logic of Law. The relations- hips between both of them should consider the influence of Politics as a Law source, but also the perspective of criminalization of Politics through positive rules. In this sense, conflicts have generally appeared from corruption. However, sometimes the clash arises from disputes on so- vereignty. In all of them, the old wish of any kind of power to justify its privilege on the exclusion of legal control is exposed, particularly in the case of the control exercised by Criminal law. From the validity of the rule of law, the former theoretical framework is transferred to the criminal proceedings at the «Catalan process», laying out the problematic aspects and suggesting those questions still pending.
