Civil Disobedience

When a government like the one that ruled from Madrid until last years decides to ban a political party, the least they should expect is some sort of dignified disobedience from politicians bred in the oldest European democracy.
Too bad the government that seats in Madrid today is doing nothing to drop the charges against these Basque politicians. They become sidekicks to the fascists that form the PP.
