The first autonomous elections in the Basque Country will be the ones of this July 12 since ETA announced its dissolution . But this community is still far from democratic normality and unfortunately remains, together with Catalonia, as the only reservoir for intolerance in Spain . Those who cheered for the ETA for decades, now remain just as lord in the public space , as if the street were theirs. They feel more and more grown, in addition, by the fact that the inheriting party of the terrorist organization occupies today important positions in the institutions and is even one of the supports of the Government of the nation, to the shame of all Spaniards, as well as to the paternalism that this moderate nationalism embodied in the PNV professes that has done so much damage, and continues to do so, with its position of equidistance between victims and executioners, or now between assaulted and aggressors .

The attack on a Vox deputy in Sestao , while participating in a campaign event, is a very serious fact that in any democracy, it would group all political forces against totalitarians. This is not the case in the Basque Country, where freedoms as fundamental as expression are still threatened, as Carlos Iturgaiz , PP and Cs candidate for these elections, interviewed today in EL MUNDO , underlines . After this aggression and the continuous attempts of radicals so that parties like Vox cannot participate in electoral acts, the PNV has once again demonstrated its double standards and cynicism, condemning the violence but, at the same time, blaming the victims of little less than deserving it. for their alleged "provocations". The media arm of the abertzale left , the Gara newspaper , and Otegi's party directly applaud the violence when they spur these radicals calling them "anti-fascist" activists, when in reality they are the fascists, violent totalitarians.

It is not surprising, therefore, that the AVT , the majority association of victims of terrorism, refused to participate yesterday in the tribute of Congress , rejecting the Moncloa pacts with Bildu. Because it hurts the incongruity that supposes that the Government relies, like this week, to save Marlaska from disapproval , in those who continue to prevent freedom in a part of Spain, in which everyone does not compete on equal terms for the elections.
