Day 30 January 2001 I read the following story in the English newspaper La Vanguardia "
What is truth? The presiding judge, Josep Maria Pijoan, should determine which of the versions offered by the rape victim, the girl J. 11 years old, was the closest to reality. Lawyers who attended the interrogation did not trust her to get around the contradictions in his statement.
At one point, the judge made a quasi-philosophical question:
- What is the truth? Is it what you think or what you called to tell me?
She paused a moment, but then said
- The truth is the damage they did to me ...
