... is the ability of actually sending politicians to jail or to successfully prosecute the Government. Judicial power is incredibly independent from political one. When I say this, I am not only comparing vs Portuguese Justice, but actually vs European one. Even in most European countries (including France) there is an unwritten protection of politicians. In the US, it is assumed the Justice exists to serve the Constituition, that serves the people - and it works, as we can see when Blagojevich, a former Illinois Governor (almost as powerful as the President of an European country), is sentenced to 14 years for corruption. How many examples like this do we have in Europe or Portugal?
