Persecution
Gaspar Rodriguez de Francia, with clear intentions to enter the supreme power of the new Paraguayan Republic and with the presence in the Board of a prestigious civilian like Dr. Fernando de la Mora, illustrated and shrewd man, he started a disqualifying action against his colleagues because, starting with de la Mora, this was the main obstacle to get rid of France, given his status as Doctor of Law.
Indeed he was definitely suspended, in the absence of the person concerned, by resolution of 21 August 1813.

Famous quotes containing the word persecution:
“That diabolical Hell conceived principle of persecution rages among some [people] and to their eternal Infamy the clergy can furnish their Quota of Imps for such business.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“I hate Science. It denies a man’s responsibility for his own deeds, abolishes the brotherhood that springs from God’s fatherhood. It is a hectoring, dictating expertise, which makes the least lovable of the Church Fathers seem liberal by contrast. It is far easier for a Hitler or a Stalin to find a mock- scientific excuse for persecution than it was for Dominic to find a mock-Christian one.”
—Basil Bunting (1900–1985)
“... social evils are dangerously contagious. The fixed policy of persecution and injustice against a class of women who are weak and defenseless will be necessarily hurtful to the cause of all women.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
