The context of government action
The actions of the Spanish government after the 11-M attacks have been the subject of debate and controversy. In a statement issued by the Faes foundation, José María Aznar, former president of the Spanish government and current president of Faes, defends the actions of his government in the days following the attacks. Aznar claims that the government did not have any official document that definitively ruled out Etar authorship and affirmed without doubt the jihadist responsibility. In addition, he criticizes the alleged lies that have been spread by certain media terminals of the left, with the aim of generating division in the ephemeris of the attacks.
The management of the days after the attacks
Aznar acknowledges that his government lost the election three days after the attacks, but defends its performance during that period. According to Aznar, the government did not have the evidence they now say they covered up and acted on the clues they had at the time. The Faes foundation justifies the attribution of the attacks to ETA by referring to the initial reactions of the press and the assessments of different political figures.
Criticism of the government’s actions
The former judge of the National Court, Baltasar Garzón, has criticized the actions of Aznar and his government, stating that they have not recognized the mistakes made and that 11-M was instrumentalized. Garzón considers the manipulation, lies and conspiracy that occurred during those days very serious.
conclusion
The actions of the Spanish government after 11-M have been the subject of controversy and debate. While Aznar defends the management of his government and criticizes the alleged lies of some press, others like Garzón criticize the government’s actions and claim that mistakes were made and the situation was exploited. The ephemeris of the 11-M attacks continues to be a sensitive and controversial topic in Spanish society.
