It is deeds, not words, that build (and destroy) trust

The article discusses the decline of trust in democratic societies, particularly in institutions like justice, and emphasizes that trust is built through actions rather than words. It references a court ruling against Begoña Gómez and her assistant, which undermines confidence in the judiciary. The piece criticizes the Spanish Socialist Party for not taking legal action against alleged corruption involving Leire Diez and Cerdán, suggesting that failing to act could fuel suspicion. It contrasts this with Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who is praised for acting based on facts rather than rhetoric.
