When he talks former president José María Aznar, what happens to the unity of Spain is “body to ground when our people come”“Doubts about the constitutionality of a hypothetical amnesty are reasonable. As well as whether, if it could be carried out, it could be justified in exchange for an investiture and not a political pact that also compromises the future conduct of the beneficiaries. But, for To defend these postulates, it is not necessary to resort to the cry of Basque society against ETA: Enough is enough! that the victims began by saying and even the pacifist organizations with a nationalist matrix ended up crying out.
