Behind every terrorist act is the immense pain it inflicts on so many innocent families whose lives are shattered. The trajectory of Arnaldo Otegi in ETA (1977-1987), which EL MUNDO has been revealing since Monday based on unpublished police and judicial documents, portrays the non-existent morality of the leader of EH Bildu, but also demonstrates the extent to which our country has naturalized the role of a party that has not condemned the more than 800 crimes of ETA.

One of the most important events with which Otegi was allegedly linked was the assassination, in 1980 in San Sebastian, of the UCD politician
Juan de Dios Doval.
