A Voice Against the Witch Hunt

For the members of the PP repression comes so natural that now they are demanding that any party that is mentioned by members of Batasuna as a possible option for those left without a voice and a political option, should also be banned.

The PP, in the meantime, has called on the Spanish Government to take action against the EHAK. Raxoi referred to this during a political meeting at the Euskalduna Hall in Bilbo together with Maria San Gil. He stuck to the same lines: “The EHAK has the stamp of ETA and terrorists cannot stand in elections”. The PP Chairman said that in the last few days they had seen evidence to prove this, but he did not specify what this evidence consisted of.

Berria reports that at least this time, a voice has decided to call this move unnecessary:

It was against this background that Lopez-Aguilar made his comments.

He said that if he were to take the course the PP were demanding, the mere fact that Batasuna should mention a democratic party would cast suspicion on the party concerned. “No one has put one over on the Government,” because, he felt, the Spanish Government was acting within the law and no one could insist that precautionary measures be taken without evidence. But he would ask the Lawyer of the State to take steps, if he had any evidence.

No matter how much I try, I just can't see how is it that some naive people out there considers Spain a democracy.

The day they realize this more than evident situation in which civil liberties and human right are trampled in behalf ot a reactionary concept of national unity, they will understand why the Basques want independence.
