The symptom
Grave, very bad, what happened this afternoon at the rally in Madrid condemned the latest killing of ETA. It was the first time in years that summoned all arc parliamentary parties, including the PP and PSOE. Well, the assistance has been ridiculous.
Poca, very few people. A cry of "Zapatero, resign 'answered by a" Zapatero, you're not alone. " Not even a rallying cry against ETA. Nothing.
The AVT and Ermua Forum have supported the merger. Right now there is a dead on the table, right now, do not go AVT. In the last eight events he has called the AVT none have been protesting the deaths of ETA, but only to criticize the government's counterterrorism policy. It seems that the leaders of the life AVT civil guard Raul Centeno and physical integrity of the civil guard Fernando Trapero also not worth a demonstration.
Apart from some exalted, most of which have come to the notice have been that little intersection of citizens who still think that it is possible unity against ETA. PP voters who do not mind second protest with Socialist voters and vice versa. Citizens who know putting common sense to sectarian slogans.
Those who have come have not been able to leave the Puerta de Alcalá without a sense of grief and abandonment. The little people and the weakness of the message sent is not a symptom of the terrible mess that has perpetrated the AVT, with PP support in the public response against ETA.
A small digression: The concept of manifestation as a form of protest is, today, played to death in Spain. It's funny how much I thrive on television ads in which the protagonists are trade protesters chanting slogans in unison. The proliferation of these ads is inversely proportional to the real success of the demonstrations, which helped discredit admen making citizens protesting in the streets of true mass-ad (a massive version of man-ad).
Anyway, back to the main argument: It will take years and stitched many wounds difficult to close before we see a mass demonstration against ETA and massive in Madrid. Today
ETA in Madrid has signed up the biggest victory in its history.
