11-M: La deuda que el Estado ha sido incapaz de pagar a las víctimas

Se cumplen 20 años de la masacre del 11-M y eso implica la prescripción de los delitos. A partir de hoy nadie podrá ser perseguido por aquellos 192 asesinatos. Se consuma así el fracaso del Estado en el esclarecimiento de los hechos. Porque seguimos sin saber quien ordenó y planificó los atentados, quienes pusieron las bombas en los trenes y qué explosivos utilizaron. Casi un 60% de españoles cree que desconocemos la verdad sobre “cuestiones esenciales” como esas.

¿Cómo no voy a mantener mi “Yo acuso” de hace 15 años contra los 18 policías, jueces y fiscales que por acción u omisión contribuyeron al cierre en falso del sumario por la mayor matanza de nuestra historia? Queda la esperanza de que, como sugiere la valerosa Ángeles Domínguez, alguno de ellos o de sus compañeros tenga ahora el arranque de dignidad de confesar cómo se manipuló la investigación.

(00:00):
I' ve written it this weekendand I' m going to keep writing
about it for the next few days. But today, moreover, I want
to make the face of repeating itin memory of the victims who were sacrificed
twenty years ago by the alliance thatwas formed between vileness, calculus and fanaticism,

(00:23):
those victims to which our State continuesto honor and remember, but to
which it has been unable to paythe debt of clarifying the truth of what
happened, at least essential parts ofthat truth. Who ordered and planned the

(00:43):
Madrid massacre, who put the bombson the trains, what explosives they used.
The judgment of the national hearing doesnot answer the first two questions.
Except for the zuam conviction that manyof us consider innocent, and the sentence

(01:04):
goes out ambiguously because of the tangent. In relation to the third question,
because the analysis of the explosives showed, with three years of delay, that
the remains of the trains had notsmoked dry, as the official version continues
to maintain. And this is notan ideological or even legal question. If

(01:29):
not molecular. Nearly sixty percent ofSpaniards believe today that we do not know
essential aspects of what happened on theeleven em and up to forty- five
percent argue that the investigation was usedfalse evidence. The inability of the State

(01:51):
to find out all that has happenedis proof of the fragility of our democracy.
That' s why I keep whoeleven years after having formulated that one.
I accuse the eighteen senior officials ofthe police, the prosecution or the
judiciary who by action or omission openedup that failure. One of them,

(02:15):
Sánchez Manzano, head of the TEDAX, sued us and the Madrid audience not
only credited the truthfulness and diligence ofthe journalistic revelations, but also established that
this journalistic truth does not have tocoincide with the judicial truth, just as

(02:36):
it does not coincide with the truereality of the facts. I understand,
therefore, the courageous Angels Dominguez,survivor of the attack and tenacious fighter in
pursuit of that truth, when shewarns that the frustrating prescription of the crimes

(02:57):
after these twenty years does not failto have the good side that perhaps one
of those who contributed to concealing whathappened can now incur the decency to confess
it. Historians will continue, inthe meantime, waiting for the declassification of

(03:19):
documents in Spain and abroad, andI am sure that until, in one
way or another, we do notshed that light that today we lack not
only for the contemporaries of that tragedy, but also for demanding and critical posterity.
So, another twenty years go by, the eleven meters will remain an

(03:44):
open case.
