To Silence a Voice

The last few days I have been posting about how the Partido Popular in Spain manipulates so called human rights organizations like the AVT and Basta Ya to advance their own repressive agenda.

I even mentioned that the group of victims of last year's bombing in Madrid were aware of this situation and had since then refused to play the same game.

There is multiple reporters, bloggers and pundits that take every chance they have to expunge the image of José María Aznar and his thugs.

Lets see how they can explain this:
Ms Manjon, 46, has gone into hiding after being threatened by groups apparently associated with the opposition Popular Party, defeated by the Socialists in an election three days after the terrorist attacks.

The threats began after she made an impassioned appeal to a parliamentary commission into the bombings, pleading with politicians to stop bickering and to concentrate on care for the victims and their families.

That's right, the PP and its satellite groups have instilled so much fear on Pilar Manjon, mother of one of the victims, that she is now in hiding.

This next couple of sentences will give you a better perspective of what the sinister individuals that shield themselves behind the PP are capable of:

A heroine to many ordinary Spaniards, Ms Manjon believes she has incurred the wrath of Popular Party supporters and the Spanish Right because she is strongly identified with working-class victims of the bombings.

One man called her on her mobile phone and shouted: "Because of the deaths of this riff-raff (on March 11), we lost the elections."

What happened to all the solidarity towards the victims?

Isn't is supposed to be towards all victims of terrorism?

What happened to thet signs reading "They Killed Them Because They Are Spaniards" some retards displayed in Gazteiz and Bilbo?

One stark sentence from Mrs. Manjon sums it all up:
"If I paid any attention to the press now, I'd believe I was guilty of killing my son," she said as she left Madrid for a secret location. "My sin is that my son was not killed by those they had hoped (ETA)."
As simple as that.
