Spain: We’re outraged that Israeli barbarians are brutalising our peace activists… we’re perfectly capable barbarians who can brutalise them ourselves (we were trained by them, after all).

Any word from friend of Palestine, Pedro Sánchez on this? Are all these officers being fired as we speak?

🤔

the vasque police (not even the spanish central one, the Policia Nacional that is well know to be right-leaning and anti-Euskadi independence or autonomy) did it so that people would do what you are doing, criticise the Spanish Government, a government that doesn't even control that autonomic police force.
The israeli government is doing exactly the same, calling it "double standards". The zionist ruse seems to have worked...
[Thank you @javi for pointing out that it wasn't the Spanish police, but "vasque on vasque"]

i'm afraid spanish ministries of inner affairs and defensa are way closer to genociders than to Pedro. It' the key aspect of the 'peaceful' transition to democracy: violence monopoly and economics are into control of dictatorship heritage members no matter what

actually, direct command over Ertzaintza, the Basque Autonomic Police that raided the Flotilla members rests on PNV, the 'Basque Nationalist Party', not Pedro Sanchez PSOE. (Although PSOE is also part of the current Basque Government).

@joxe Well that explains a thing or two. Does Pedro have any levers he can pull or is he helpless?

We're still waiting for an explanation from the Basque Gvt. I'm not an expert but I'd say Sanchez has a bigger need of PNV support in Madrid than PNV needs PSOE support in the basque gvt, so probably PSOE position will be something like 'oh, come on, we all make mistakes from time to time'. But let's see... 🤔

The central government (PSOE, Sánchez) as a rule can't/won't interfere in anything on which the regions have that particular power. This reaches you because it's an international question, but this dynamic in which a regional government makes a big mistake, or negligence, or cruelty, and then public opinion blames the national government? That's the news. Every day.

(i'm not a Sanchez supperter, in general, he just gets blamed for things that it is not in his power to control or punish)

@laguiri @joxe There were lots of people at the airport, confusion and some shoving. Police tend to attack protesters whenever things get a little tense, for no reasonable reason, everywhere. It's just police behaviour as usual, I wouldn't extract conclusions on the government(s) behind (of course they're accountable, I mean I wouldn't assume this attack is part of any political plan or strategy).

@teclista for example, you can find some information here:

elsaltodiario.com/armamento-po…

rebelion.org/la-relacion-entre…

elsaltodiario.com/espionaje/gi…

docs.google.com/document/u/0/d…

And I think there's a book by Egin with the subject, but I'm not 100% sure.

El gigante del espionaje israelí detrás del sistema de monitorización telefónica de la Ertzaintza

El cuerpo policial utiliza un software para la intervención legal de las comunicaciones fabricado por Verint Systems, una firma israelí de inteligencia que trató de comprar a NSO Group, la distribuidora del software Pegasus.

Glad to find someone else is aware and publicising this shocking behaviour - any one needing more details, I've pinned two separate videos at the top of my profile of this shocking behaviour.

The fact it's Spain is the most shocking to me.

@Oyu_Fka Don't be so shocked. That's the Bask country, governed by the right-ghouls. This is pretty normal behaviour by #erzaintza police.
Trained by #IsraelTerroristState
By the way, spanish PM didn't say a word yet.
We have a said in Spain when you get deceived by *Pedro Sanchez's party, "you have BEEN PSOED"
*Spain keeps trading weapons with Israel.

that police force is a regional force in the Basque Country and falls under the jurisdiction of the Basque Government.

The person directly responsible, the Minister for Security, Bingen Zupiria, has said that the officers failed to handle the situation properly, but he justifies this by claiming that they were provoked.

As if the whole world hadn’t seen the video in which the police, without saying a word, start beating the activists and their families.

Aral Balkan reshared this.

in Spain this kind of police action is generally praised with recognition (if not openly, at least economically in mid and long term; ie look for the life led by “Billy el niño” during democracy, our most famous torturer brought up during dictatorship). In any case no punishment is expected. Even firing of a police officer is virtually impossible here. https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_González_Pacheco

C'est comme en France. Il ne suffit pas d'avoir un gouvernement de gauche pour dénazifier la police. Il faut beaucoup de courage politique, et surtout des années et des années de travail déterminé et ingrat, et de persévérance pour faire évoluer les conditions du recrutement, la formation, les procédures d'avancement ...
