"In this system, our system, slaves are unaware of their status or that they have masters who live in a parallel world in which the shackles are hidden among a jumble of inaccessible legal jargon... The system of checks and balances of the Democracy has failed; "A very serious instability could be around the corner." (Manifesto of John Doe, pseudonym of the person who leaked the Panama Papers). The phrase "what a scandal, I discovered that people play games here!" from Casablanca (1942) occupies a privileged place in the anthology of cinematic quotes that are obligatory for personal display when the conversation requires it. Let us remember the moment in the story that is told to us in the film: Captain Renault (Claude Rains), a French police officer of the collaborationist Vichy government during World War II, breaks into the bar run by Rick (Humphrey Bogart), a sarcastic cosmopolitan American back from everything, where the rule that prohibits gambling is systematically broken, which of course is in the public domain, also of the aforementioned authority. When Captain Renault utters the aforementioned words inside the premises, his cynicism and hypocrisy are evident.
His phrase in the context shown in the film is an excellent representation of that very human practice – in some cultures more than others, of course – of what in colloquial speech we call “acting crazy.” When an ethical or legally reprehensible practice has become a custom for some, of which we are all aware and/or complicit, we act crazy for whatever reasons in each particular Australia Phone Number case, without anything being done to stop or modify it. as a result. This is the murky underbelly of corruption as we very well know in this country of ours. The so-called "Pandora papers" are the journalistic version of the Casablanca phrase ; That is to say, they are the sample that reveals the cynicism that corrodes the health of contemporary liberal democracies. It is not the first evidence of this, since we already had the precedent of the "Panama Papers" in 2016, when it became known about the tortious practices of the Mossack Fonseca law firm. Then the person responsible for the leak of his documents in a manifesto published by Südeutsche Zeitung warned that they should be considered "an obvious symptom of the progressively sick and decaying moral fabric of our society.
Didn't we know that tax havens exist ? Did we not know that there are armies of lawyers and tax advisors willing to do whatever is necessary – legal or not so legal – so that their wealthy clients can get away with paying their taxes as much as they can and more? Didn't we know that there is an elite with a lot of money who understands that it is morally legitimate to cheat that the system allows them to keep the maximum of their profits for themselves because that is why they have earned it and no one else? Did we not know that the Governments of our democracies, which are considered the only system of government that ensures the common good, act crazy in the face of such a mockery of the principle of solidarity essential to ensure the essential social cohesion if we want to enjoy a good coexistence? If a democracy is not capable of identifying and correcting injustices, it is not unreasonable to think that citizens will begin to harbor some disaffection with their political regime. In recent decades, the global economy has developed hand in hand with an inexorable process that Peter Fleming, professor of Business and Society at Cass Business.
