Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.
In his statements on Spanish public radio, he defended the government’s “transparency” on this issue. The Minister of the Interior says that although the rapprochement of Basque prisoners is appearing repeatedly in the media, there has still been no rapprochement.
Grande-Marlaska states that the approaches will be analyzed “on a case-by-case basis” and that “the situation of each prisoner will be analyzed” before the decision is made.
At the same time, the minister has made it clear that approaching is not “an advantage”, that advantages are “other things”. He points out that the policy of dispersion is not a penitentiary policy, but an anti-terrorist policy that has “succeeded” in ending ETA.
