Arnaldo Otegi has recognized that the pain caused by ETA “should never have occurred” and has expressed “from the heart” his “regret and pain for the suffering caused” to the victims. It is quite possible that, for many, these words fall short. For so many who simply cannot shake off suffering. Because the wound is too deep, because there is no thread capable of darning it. What is broken is broken. But recognition is important. Definitive, actually. Because it is the only passable path towards reparation and reconciliation. Also because it is a warning to sailors. Faced with the temptation of violence, this agonizing and bitter end should be kept in mind. The political futility of action and the deep tear caused to society. We speak of physical death and death in life, of hatred permeated in an impossible coexistence, of damage that will permeate the earth for years, of the inheritance of guilt.
Yes, Arnaldo Otegi’s message is a warning to the temptation of violence. Also the one that doesn’t wield guns, but poisons the air until it becomes unbreathable. Until soaking in the soul and poisoning wills. There is no room for flirting. At the slightest indication, only conviction can exist.
