Jaime Mayor Oreja, former Minister of the Interior and one of the political figures who experienced the fight against ETA firsthand, reflects in his new book on how a country's memory is constructed after terror and what happens when narrative replaces truth.
In the interview, we review the Basque Country where ETA originated, the years of violence that marked Spain, the assassination of Miguel Ángel Blanco, the 11-M attacks, President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's agreement with ETA, and the current political climate.
He states unequivocally: "Lies have replaced crime," denouncing a society where, he maintains, falsehoods have replaced violence without resolving the underlying problems.
We also discuss politics; what it means to be a politician, and he argues that "politics demands duplicity; if you're straightforward, they don't listen to you," highlighting a political system trapped in pretense.
