Do you remember that article about Tolosa I published a couple of days ago? The one with all the slant against the Basque society?
Well, believe it or not, a member of the Spanish establishment found it to be equidistant and therefore repulsive. I am talking about the openly Francoist Spanish Ambassador to the USA, Javier Ruperez.
This is his letter published by The New York Times:
How does he dare to call any Basque a terrorist in the midst of this all out attack against Basque society?
The situation is a terrible as it was under Felipe Gonzalez and his GAL mercenaries, as dangerous as Franco's four decades reign of terror.
To you Javier Ruperez, the only terrorists in Spain are Juan Carlos Borbon and his family, the members of both the PP and the PSOE, the rabid dogs at the Audiencia Nacional and the murderous apes at the Guardia Civil, plus some others whom I forgot to mention. All of you are simply revolting.
All and each one of you should be tried the way they did with the Nazis (your allies) in Nuremberg.

Terrorists in Spain
Published: May 25, 2003
To the Editor:
I take exception to the views expressed in ''Politics in a Perilous Place: The Basque Country'' (Tolosa Journal, May 22) concerning the Basque region, its people and its politics. You show surprising equidistance between the terrorists and their followers and those who, because of their anti-nationalistic ideology, fear for their lives every day.
I have to confess once again to feelings of moral repugnance, which are shared by the vast majority of my fellow citizens, when reading about E.T.A. and Batasuna as if their followers were heroes of democracy.
