only a few months after psoe is elected! The ex-general of the Civil Guard, Galindo, who was condemned to 75 years of prison for the apalling torture and murder of the Basques Joxean Lasa and Joxi Zabala (of the many that were committed under his responsibility in the infamous barricks of Intxaurrondo, in Gipuzkoa, Euskal Herria) has been released under home arrest after spending only 4 years in prison.

Jump To Comment: 1Only a few months after PSOE has come into power, Galindo, member of GAL, the State sponsored terrorist organization that murdered 28 Basques during PSOE previous leadership, has been released. Galindo, was the highest responsible of the infamous Civil Guard barracks in Intxaurrondo, where so many Basques were tortured. This man is now under house arrest, enjoying the high salary he still receives from the State despite the fact that he has lost his condition of militar and doesn't work. The reason given for his release is that he suffers a heart condition and the article 92 of the Spanish Penal Law provides that prisoners with serious illnesses may be released. However, Basque political prisoners such as Barandalla, who suffers cancer and is handcuffed to his bed when in hospital, are not being released under the excuse they haven't repented. Yet Galindo has not repented either, nor has PSOE.
With this release, the Spanish Government not only doesn't condemn GAL's violence, but celebrates it. Yet it supports the 'Law of Parties' which has been used against Batasuna and many other political and cultural organizations for that type of positioning or lighter things.
As a Basque politician has stated, "PSOE is the political branch of the terrorist organization GAL".
