You are not going to read it on the news, most of you won't care but heck, this is my Blog so you will read it here.
Last night Spain's Guardia Civil raided Udalbiltza and arrested eight of its employees. Udalbiltza is a pro independence organization that unites the elected representatives of every town in Euskal Herria, and that includes the seven provinces, it is the only organization that groups together Basques from the Autonomous Basque Community (Euskadi) and the Foral Community of Nafarroa in Spain and Iparralde in France.
This comes one month before the elections in the Basque provinces, let me make you understand, the Spanish government just imprisioned Basque candidates for the elections in May, and Spain is supposed to be a democracy.
Spain just in case you forgot is an ally of the US and Britain in the present war on Iraq, a war that had to be waged to take a dictator down and bring peace and democracy to the Iraqi people, so I ask, where is the democratic spirit in Spain?
Aznar's party is facing a hard time, Basques, Catalonians, Galizans and Spaniards are against the war and blame Aznar for his stupid decision about the oil tanker Prestige, so now in order to secure some votes he is incarcerating the opposition candidates because he knows the common people was going to take him down the democratic way, with votes.
And people has the nerve to ask me why the Basques insist in having their own country, how would you feel if your language, your culture and your democratic institutions could be attacked on a regular basis by a totalitarian regime?
