The heretic

The days of summer rest have been spent in two monasteries in Castilla La Vieja. As we were going there, and to pay off a debt that I had, I led to read El hereje de Miguel Delibes. The novel masterfully recounts the experiences of one of the first Protestants in Castile. In the mid-sixteenth century, when the Inquisition acts against the Lutherans, the protagonist decides to leave Spain to help him pass to the other side when he arrives at the house of the mugalari navarro Zilbetin, which takes him to Valladolid, judges him, torture him and...

Each of them will see what to do on 25 September. But heretics are necessary for the health of societies. When will it be possible for all “heretics” to stand for election?

That should have been the case, and when the book was over, the confirmation of Otegi’s disqualification from attending the Basque elections was opened. Reading the opinions of some media, one cannot avoid the conclusion that, despite spending almost five centuries, and in favor of differences, in Spain there is still a strong old tendency to “create and burn” heretics. Before, religion was the excuse, now the unity of Spain (more ETA if possible).

According to the interlocutors we have had on holiday, today they have heretics especially in Catalonia, and perhaps some in Euskal Herria, but in general the Basque heretics are not very dangerous now. We are few votes in the count of the entire State, few seats in the Courts, we are divided between us, and although we are heated to our lips, we are weak against all the instruments of the State; if parliamentary arithmetic does not make a gift, they despise us or use us. However, these profound interlocutors in Spain have been very disappointed with regard to the third elections, as not only in the periphery, but in the centre, Spain is now at the heart of the major problems.

At least, let us do our work in the CAV in an orderly manner in the coming weeks. They say it's not time for experiments. It's possible. The Government is a serious matter for low-maturity adventures. But it has already been said a long time ago that new wine cannot be put into old bottles. And we have a great need for new wine, because it is undeniable that in recent years, in the name of the crisis, we have been introduced with sour wine, and it is also undeniable that what comes to us is not much sweeter on the pretext of spending limits, cumulative public debt, the pension situation (which they say is unbearable)…

Each of them will see what to do on 25 September. But heretics are necessary for the health of societies. Thanks to their previous sacrifice, today it is possible for these Protestants or anyone else to spend a few days of rest in Catholic monasteries. When will it be possible for all “heretics” to stand for election? When will it be possible for states to form differently, as a federation of sovereign nations?
