Ana Rosa Quintana pursues ETA members

A few weeks ago, Mikel Garikoitz, alias Txeroki, former military leader of ETA, was released from Martutene prison under a semi-liberty regime. He has served seventeen years of his four hundred-year sentence. He leaves the prison to work and perform volunteer tasks, as stipulated by the court. Ana Rosa's program They wasted no time waiting for him at the door and pushing him to see where he was going. Manu Marlasca, the expert contributor on current events and other sordid topics, commented on it sarcastically:Oh! Surprise! Seventeen years later he enjoys a semi-freedom regime that has come, logically, when the Basque government takes charge of this type of consequence"And, irritated, he asked the editor if they had seen him work:"Have you seen him work hard? Are his hands calloused and worn out from working?"They insisted on the myth of the ETA members' high life. Ana Rosa Quintana lamented the difficulties in keeping up with it:"He is protected, unlike the raped woman."He was referring to the victim from a previous news story."The reporter excitedly recounted his pursuit. The chaotic images recorded on the street with the camera on his shoulder incorporated the delirious questions he asked Txeroki:Do you even like democracy at all? With all the victims you had when you were the head of ETA, you don't even have the courage to say anything?"The journalist claimed that the men accompanying him were..."people from the Basque nationalist environment"And he reproached them for going with him:"You're always with Txeroki, huh? Always warning him!"During a car chase on the highway, he ventured to claim that the protagonist"He moves the same way he did when he was the head of the terrorist group: he makes double turns around roundabouts, takes several directions, and when he arrives at his destination he changes cars."While pursuing him, the questions he asked him encompassed all the journalistic clichés of the anti-ETA jargon:"Do you regret what you did during your years as head of ETA?", "Was it worth it?", "What are you doing outside of prison? Aren't you saying anything to the victims?", "Do you condemn violence or not? Or is all this nonsense?"The editor criticized him for his cold attitude, for not looking him in the eye, and for refusing to speak into his microphone. All of Quintana's colleagues, fascinated by the reporter's boldness, congratulated him on his work. It was paradoxical how much they disdained him and, at the same time, how they regretted not being able to talk to him:"They were brave, even when they killed innocent people at their jobs..."The presenter criticized, reproaching him for his cowardice in not showing his face. It's grotesque that these presenters, who in the past lamented the dialogue with ETA to achieve peace, now need to bring these figures back into the media spotlight, have them exclusively, put a microphone in front of them, and get statements from them, even encouraging them to address their victims. The worst part is imagining what they would do if they got any response."
