The response of our leaders to this anger was always the same: <strong>they asked us to trust in the rule of law<\/strong> and told us that the terrorists would be arrested and the full weight of the law would fall on them.<\/p>\n<p>What we did not imagine then is <strong>that a Spanish government would end up allying itself with the heirs of ETA<\/strong>, led by the terrorist Arnaldo Otegui (who was an active member of ETA at the time), to settle its accounts using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2022\/11\/23\/la-denuncia-de-un-diputado-navarro-contra-la-nueva-cesion-de-sanchez-ante-los-proetarras\/\">the expulsion of the Civil Guard from Navarre<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2021\/09\/30\/tras-pedir-prision-por-rezar-psoe-y-podemos-apoyan-legalizar-la-apologia-del-terrorismo\/\">the legalization of the apology of terrorism<\/a> and the benefits and the transfer of ETA prisoners to Basque prisons as a bargaining chip. Concessions that reached <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2020\/12\/11\/adelantan-la-salida-de-un-etarra-y-la-hacen-coincidir-con-el-aniversario-de-su-atentado\/\">the infamy of bringing forward the release of one of the perpetrators of that attack in Zaragoza to coincide with the day that marked the 33rd anniversary of the attack<\/a>. The height of humiliation for the victims.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time as they were making pacts with ETA's heirs, the socialists were launching into its whitewashing. Last summer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2022\/07\/14\/la-miserable-afirmacion-de-sanchez-para-intentar-que-dejemos-de-hablar-sobre-eta\/\">S\u00e1nchez stated \"ETA no longer exists\", describing it as \"bad news\" for the right-wing deputies<\/a>, deputies <strong>among whom is Francisco Jos\u00e9 Alcaraz, a relative of three of the minors killed in that attack in Zaragoza<\/strong>. S\u00e1nchez not only wants us to forget about ETA and its crimes, but he is also trying to promote <strong>the infamy that the victims enjoyed his suffering<\/strong>. That miserable man knows no shame, decency or honour.<\/p>\n<p>The most recent episode of this whitewashing has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2022\/11\/29\/escandalo-en-el-congreso-el-psoe-censura-a-vox-por-llamar-filoetarras-a-los-filoetarras\/\">the socialist censure against a Vox deputy for calling the pro-ETA members \"pro-ETA members\" <\/a>, a censure that has been accompanied by a campaign by the government and its related media to criminalize the parliamentary opposition for its firmness against terrorists. And as if that were not enough, <strong>now S\u00e1nchez, hand in hand with his pro-ETA and separatist partners<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2022\/12\/09\/ayer-peru-y-ahora-espana-golpe-del-gobierno-izquierdista-contra-la-independencia-judicial\/\">is preparing to liquidate the separation of powers in Spain<\/a>, one of the pillars of that rule of law in which we were asked so much to trust every time ETA committed a crime.<\/p>\n<p>With his pact with the heirs of ETA and his attack on the rule of law, <strong>Sanchez is trampling on the blood of the victims<\/strong>. It is one of the most serious betrayals and one of the most despicable acts that he has committed during his mandate, and it is the duty of all good Spaniards <strong>that the memory of this betrayal haunts S\u00e1nchez for the rest of his days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It happened on December 11, 1987, 35 years ago today.
