EH Bildu may be the party with the most votes in the Basque elections on Sunday. The party is the favorite of half of young people between 25 and 44 years old.
Youth is also the alibi of its candidate, Pello Otxandiano, who avoids the issue of ETA. It is assumed that these new people from Bildu already saw terrorism as a very bad thing, but the fact is that they do not say it, they don't speak like the rest of us mortals. I wouldn't vote for them even if I was drunk, because I remember what they did, even though now they are nicer, more left-wing, with glasses. The writer Thomas De Quincey wisely reminds us that acting as if murder was one of the fine arts only leads us to the wrong end of the sword. It's a topic they don't like, those murderers you tell me about. The trick they use is to only speak of the victims with pity, without speaking of the murderers with contempt.
