1:29:00
but lower than in Europe
after World War II.
1:29:04
They controlled part
of the economic power
1:29:06
and through that
they controlled media power.
1:29:09
A party that has taken control
of nearly all the media,
1:29:12
of practically
all the television channels.
1:29:14
It's true that the government
enjoys immense media protection.
1:29:18
It controls a large number
of newspapers.
1:29:22
Here, of every 100 newspaper pages
that are printed,
1:29:27
the nationalists
don't even publish 15%.
1:29:30
There is a nationalist silence,
nationalist catacombs.
1:29:35
It was really
quite devastating
1:29:37
that before the Basque elections
on May 13,
1:29:40
not one Spanish newspaper,
radio station or television channel
1:29:45
said a single word in favor
of non-violent Basque nationalism.
1:29:49
The big mistake is not
to distinguish between nationalism,
1:29:52
which follows a democratic path,
1:29:55
and terrorism.
1:29:57
Being Basque was important
25 or 30 years ago.
1:30:00
After that, relations were
more or less normal,
1:30:03
and now, being Basque is,
let's say, not very desirable.
1:30:08
There are areas in social life
1:30:10
where there is much more freedom
and people are healthier,
1:30:14
and so there is no doubt
1:30:16
the problem lies
in political deficiencies.
1:30:19
We have to pension off
a lot of people
1:30:22
who are doing a lot of harm.
1:30:25
I'm sorry, but I don't like
any politician.
1:30:30
You're liars and hypocrites,
1:30:34
and you really don't care
what happens to us.
1:30:38
With time,
they have reduced space
1:30:41
and created a reality
of opposing poles.
