Hate, Luisgé Martín’s book where the writer draws a profile of José Breton, who in 2011 killed his children in a case of vicaria violence, will not be published by Anagrama. “The Anagrama publishing house informs the extinction of the editing contract for the publication and distribution of the hatred. After the end of the contractual relationship, all the rights of the work, assigned in its day to the publishing house, are once again owned by the author,” said the seal in a statement published Wednesday. The publishing house, which in principle had the publication on March 26, postponed it indefinitely on the 21st, following the controversy and the different instances filed by the mother and the Prosecutor’s Office before the Justice. In a statement issued that same day, Anagrama assured “that both the author and the publisher are entitled to publish this work”, although he pointed out that he would wait for “to what the judicial resolutions indicate.” In the end it has not been so. “After the subsequent judicial denial, on two occasions, of the request for precautionary measures of the Prosecutor’s Office that requested that stoppage, the editorial voluntarily maintained the suspension of the distribution of the work, which now confirms that it is definitive,” they explain in today’s statement. Reportajela Editorial explains its decision in the belief that “in a democratic society, there must be a balance between the creative freedom as a fundamental right. Morales. From Martín’s literary agency, Dos Passos, they point out that they do not want to make any declaration “beyond the editorial has decided not to publish the book, and before that the logical thing is that the rights reversed in the author, which now is once again the owner of his work.” To the question of whether the author or the agency have an idea of moving the book by other ways, such as other possible publishers interested in the publication, from the agency they point out that “for now there is no idea of moving it, we have not thought anything yet. This has just happened and we have to weigh all our options.” This newspaper has tried to contact the writer again, who has been silent for days. The work has the testimony of José Breton, the murderer sentenced to 40 years in jail for killing in 2011 his children, Ruth and José, six and two. He also speaks of the life of Ruth Ortiz, the mother of the children, who had requested the paralysis of the publication for illegitimate interference of the right to honor, intimacy and the image of the deceased minors. Hate follows a double aspect: on the one hand, draw a profile of the murderer and reconstruct the crime, and on the other it tells the relationship established between the writer and the criminal. Martín crossed with Breton for several years about 60 letters and telephone calls, and came to visit the prison of Herrera de la Mancha. A long process and by several roads now, the last step of the legal battle had been given on the 11th, when the prosecution of Barcelona asked the judge to order Anagram to send them the book on José Bretón to be able to review it. It was the last stage of a judicial battle that began on March 19, when Ruth Ortiz denounced the publication of the book before justice and asked the publishing house not to be published. A day later, the Ortiz request added the Minors Prosecutor’s Office, which warned about the possible violation of children’s right to honor. On March 24, a Barcelona Court rejected suspend the publication of the book, but the Minors Prosecutor’s Office of Barcelona appealed that decision a day later. On March 27, Anagrama announced that he suspended “indefinitely” the distribution of the work. The Audience of Barcelona resolved the appeal of the Prosecutor’s Office and endorsed the publication of El Odio on Wednesday 9, but Anagram was ratified in his decision to freeze the sale. Until now, with the definitive announcement of non -publication. The publication or not of the book is not the only judicial route caused by hate. Ruth Ortiz denounced José Bretón on March 25 for a possible breach of conviction and for a new crime of psychological abuse. The sentence that condemned him for the murder of his children included the prohibition of approach to Ortiz less than a kilometer and the prohibition “of communication by any means, for 21 years for each crime of murder.” That prohibition of communication is what Ortiz considers that he broke with the book. In addition, the Prosecutor’s Office of Córdoba requested on March 26 to the Audience of Córdoba that would value initiate legal actions. What the Public Ministry defends is that the news and interviews published about the book attempt against the right to privacy of minors and their mother. (Tagstotranslate) Culture
