1 | Puerto Rico: Debate on Domestic Violence Continues | Pôrtô Rikô: Mitohy ny Adihevitra Momba ny Herisetra ao An-tokantrano |
2 | In Puerto Rico, the public debate on domestic violence has reached a boiling point. | Ao Portô Rikô, nangotraka ny adihevitra mikasika ny herisetra ao an-tokantrano. |
3 | A couple of blogs have been following up on Puerto Rico's Supreme Court's decision that victims of violence in adulterous relationships cannot be protected by Law 54 against Domestic Violence. | Bilaogy roa no nanaraka ny didy navoakan'ny Fitsarana an-tampony fa ireo iharan'ny herisetra ao anatin'ny fiarahana tsy ara-dalàna dia tsy voaaron'ny Lalàna 54 manohitra ny herisetra ao an-tokantrano. |
4 | And recently, the Court of Appeals of San Juan (the capital city) decided that another female victim of domestic violence could not receive the protection offered by Law 54 [es] because her relationship with the aggressor was allegedly only sexual. | Ary vao haingana, ny fitsarana ambony ao San Juan (renivohitry ny firenena) no nanapa-kevitra fa tsy voaaron'ny Lalàna 54 ny vehivavy hafa niharan'ny herisetra tao an-tokantrano satria tsy ara-dalàna ny fiarahany tamin'ny olona nanao herisetra azy fa filàna ara-nofo fotsiny. |
5 | The feminist coalition Movimiento Amplio de Mujeres de Puerto Rico [es] has been at the forefront in denouncing the recent attacks of a law (Law 54 of 1989 [es]) considered to be one of the most advanced pieces of legislation against domestic violence in Latin America. | Lohalaharana tamin'ny tsy fankasitrahana ny lalàna (Lalàna 54 tamin'ny taona 1989) izay heverina ho singan-dalàna lasa aloha indrindra manohitra ny herisetra an-tokantrano ny Fikambanam-behivavy Movimiento Amplio de Mujeres de Puerto Rico. |
6 | Recently, the Movimiento Amplio also published a post asking the head of the Office of the Women's Advocate and the Legislature [es] to support the inclusion of all women, notwithstanding their sexual orientation, under the provisions of Law 54. | Vao haingana koa ny Movimiento Amplio ihany no namoaka lahatsoratra mitaky ny lehiben'ny Birao Miaro ny vehivavy sy ny lalàna mba hanohana ny fampidirana ny vehivavy rehetra tsy an-kanavaka, na dia eo aza ny tsy fitovian'ny fironana ara-nofo ho arovan'ny lalàna 54. |
7 | This was in response to a recently solved case where it was determined that a woman was murdered by her same sex partner. | Izany dia ho valin'ilay raharaha efa voavaha nitranga vao haingana izay namaritra fa novonoin'ilay sakaizany mitovy fitaovam-pananahana aminy ilay vehivavy. |
8 | To the people and politicians who repeat the nonsense from religious fundamentalists, we must clarify that if two people of the same sex start an affectionate relationship, of whatever type it may be, they maintain a couple's relationship just as it is defined by Law 54… if that is the case, they have the right to receive protection from this law when that relationship turns violent. | Ho an'ireo olona sy mpanao politika izay mamerina hatrany ny teniteny foana avy amin'ny fondamantalista, tokony hazava amintsika fa raha miaraka ny olona roa mitovy “fitaovam-pananahana”, na amin'ny endrika ahoana na fomba ahoana, dia miaraka toy ny olon-droa mifankatia izy ireo araka ny voalazan'ny Lalàna 54… raha izany no mitranga, dia manana zo hahazo ny fiarovan'io Lalàna io ireo mpifankatia raha sendra mivadika herisetra ny fiarahana. |
9 | In another post [es] the coalition condemns the decision once more and warns the people responsible that they will be judged harshly by history: | Ao amin'ny lahatsoratra hafa, mbola miampanga ny fanapaha-kevitra indray ny fikambanana ary mampitandrina ny olona tompon'andraikitra fa ho mafy ny fitsarana azy any amin'ny tantara : |
10 | Those people who are still thinking about destroying Law 54 based on their moralist or religious prejudices, will be judged by history as what they are: enemies of humanity and of women's human rights. | Ho an'ireo olona mbola mieritreritra hanimba ny Lalàna 54 noho ny fitsaratsaram-poanany na ny finoany, dia mbola hotsarain'ny tantara tahaka ny: fahavalon'ny olombelona sy ny zo mahaolona ny vehivavy izy ireo. |
11 | The Movimiento Amplio convened, along with other organizations, a protest/performance during Holy Week in front of the Capitol to denounce the government's "religious fundamentalism." | Ny Movimiento Amplio, miaraka amin-ny fikambanana sasany sy mpanao fihetsiketsehana hafa nandritra ny herinandro masina teo anoloan-ny Capitol mba haneho ny tsy fankasitrahany ny "finoana fondamantalista" an'ny governemanta. |

14 | Law scholar and blogger Hiram Meléndez Juarbe published in the digital magazine 80 Grados [es] that the Supreme Court has been inconsistent in its decisions, contrasting their rulings on Law 7 (a law that authorized massive layoffs in government agencies), police escorts for ex-governors, and Law 54 [es]: | Mpampianatra Lalàna sy bilaogera i Hiram Meléndez Juarbe izay namoaka tao amin'ny Gazety boky nomerika 80 Grados fa tsy naharesy lahatra ny Fitsarana tampony tamin'ny fanapaha-keviny, mampifanohitra ny didin'ny amin'ny Lalàna faha-7 (lalàna manome fahefana handroaka olom-panjakana faobe, ny polisy mpiambina ho an'ny governora teo aloha, sy ny Lalàna 54: |
15 | Then, the deference to the political branches that is prominently displayed when Law 7 is questioned, disappears when they question police escorts (to the point that they make up new economic rights) and completely disappears when it faces the protection of victims in adulterous relationships under the clear text of Law 54. | Manaraka izany, ny fanajana ny rantsana politika izay miharihary rehefa anontaniana ny Lalàna faha-7, dia nanjavona rehefa anontaniana ny polisy mpiambina azy ireo (milaza fa manangana zo ara-toe-karena vaovao izy ireo) ary nanjavona tanteraka raha nanoloana ny fiarovana ireo niharan'ny herisetra tamin'ny fiarahana tsy ara-dalàna araka ny lahatsoratra mazava voalazan'ny Lalàna 54. |
16 | Meléndez Juarbe feels that the new conservative makeup of the Supreme Court explains these decisions and feels that the following description of the current United States' Supreme Court given by Ronald Dworkin applies to Puerto Rico's: | Mihevitra i Meléndez Juarbe fa ny fisian'ny mpikambana vaovao (mpitahiry ny taloha) mandrafitra ny Fitsarana tampony no anton'io fanapahan-kevitra io ary heveriny koa fa ny fanoritsoritana ny fanazavan'ny Fitsarana Tampony any Etazonia ankehitriny natolotr'i Ronald Dworkin dia mihatra ao Pôrtô Rikô : |
17 | It would be a mistake to suppose that this right-wing phalanx is guided in its zeal by some very conservative judicial or political ideology of principle. | Fahadisoana ny mihevitra fa voatarika ao anaty hafanam-po amin'ny fomba fihevitra sy fomba fijery mpitahiry ny teo aloha ny antoko ankavanana phalanx. |
18 | It seems guided by no judicial or political principle at all, but only by partisan, cultural, and perhaps religious allegiance. | Tsy misy fihevitra politika na ara-pitsarana mihitsy aza ao, fa fironana ara-pitsarana, ara-kolontsaina ary angamba ara-pivavahana. |
19 | It urges judicial restraint and deference to legislatures when these bodies pass measures that political conservatives favor… But the right wing coalition abandons restraint when it strikes down legislation that conservatives oppose…Ronald Dworkin, The Supreme Court Phalanx 47-48 (2008) | Mandrisika ny fifehezana ara-pitsarana sy fankatoavana ny mpanao lalàna izany raha mandray ny fepetra raisina amin'ny fironana politika konservativa ireo olona ireo… Saingy nandao ny fifehezana ny vondron'antoko ankavanana raha manjera ny lalàna toherin'ny mpitahiry ny nentin-drazana. Ronald Dworkin, Mpitsara an-tampony 47-48 (2008) |
20 | Meléndez Juarbe adds: | Meléndez Juarbe nanampy hoe: |
21 | And, with this Tribunal, like Dworkin points out, when it is relevant, when economic, religious and political ideologies are in play, these visions will emerge transparently. | Ary amin'ity Fitsarana ity, araka izay asongadin'i Dworkin, raha tsy maintsy ilaina izany, rehefa tafiditra ny resaka toekarena, finoana ary ny foto-kevitra politika, dia hiseho mangarahara izany fijery izany. |
22 | Simple. | Tsotra. |
23 | That's how we should read this New Supreme Court. | Izay no tokony fomba hamakiantsika [ ny voalazan]ity Fitsarana Tampony vaovao ity. |
