"Now the People, Now the Peace"

The Spanish government decided to attack thousands of Basques that wanted to celebrate Aberri Eguna, the Basque national day, under the motto "Now the People, Now the Peace".

Madrid deemed the celebration illegal because it was called by Batasuna, a political party that was banned two years ago accused of not condemning violence. The Holly Inquisition has been unable to prove their case until today.

Seems like for the Spaniards, to ask for peace is not enough condemnation of violence.

If the pictures that you are about to see came from Taipei, Kiev or Beirut, there would be an international outcry for justice.

As it happens, it won't make it to the front page of a single news paper.
