8 January 2014. In Euskal Herria everything is prepared for the demonstration that is held every January in defence of the rights of Basque prisoners, but once again there will be no lack of intervention in Madrid and has arrested eight interlocutors. In addition, the National Hearing has banned the demonstration. The PNV has also joined the demonstration through prohibition and mobilization has been one of the largest in Euskal Herria. Jake was the name of the operation carried out by the Civil Guard.
12 January 2015. In Euskal Herria there has been a demonstration in favour of the rights of Basque prisoners and two days later the Civil Guard has arrested 12 lawyers of Basque prisoners and 4 members of Herrira: They are charged with crimes of ETA integration, fraud and money laundering, and other crimes. Mate has been the response of the Civil Guard at the moment. Also today's titles of The World: “All ETA lawyers detained.”
That seems to be the objective: to stop and hinder the dialogue between all lawyers and citizens who are in the defence or mediation of Basque prisoners. Obstruct anything that could feed that almost invisible peace process from here or from there. They are all ethnic groups, “everything is ETA.” And in the Spanish Government everything is against the revenge, the peace and the coexistence that Basque society demands time and time again.
Basically, the government of pp makes it clear that what Basque society thinks does not matter; and what the Basque Government, the Parliament and the other Basque institutions say. To put it bluntly, I prayed all over my head. And also in truffle tone: last year before and after the demonstration, “we don’t care.” It is difficult to make another reading other than revenge, because in other times the Basque question gave them incomes in Spain, but today neither. It seems, however, and even more so after the demonstration in Paris on Sunday, that it is always profitable for terrorists to show here too that they have no refuge.
Key? Converge once and for all those who want to commit themselves to a genuine peace process in Basque society and begin to build serious inequalities, peace and coexistence. Forget a moment of Madrid and act here, because otherwise Madrid will not move either. From EH Bildu and to the PSE, or to Podemos, where the polls are leading, and among which the assets should be, the PNV and the Basque Government. Pp prefers to mix Euskal Herria, because that prevents everything, but Basque society has the right and the desire to live a new time. There will only be a drop from the sky, and it is up to the Basque institutions and citizens to fight for it.
