1,776 days. This is the exact time it took former ERC leader Marta Molina to recover the October 1st ballot box that stood in her dining room. She did so three weeks ago, when she went to the National Court to retrieve the belongings the Civil Guard seized during a search of her apartment as part of Operation Volhov, the alleged Russian plot behind the now-closed Trial. After spending two nights in jail and an investigation lasting four years, 10 months, and 11 days of "nightmares and unnecessary suffering," the former secretary of Social Movements for the Republicans posed for a photo op with the ballot box, happy, as she left the court on September 8. It hasn't been an easy road. Recovering it has been quite an odyssey.
