Editorial: El País

• The possible early release of some of ETA's most bloodthirsty terrorists is due to urgent legal reform.
• The legislative process has uncovered labor apathy from the opposition.
• The PP is inappropriately leveraging the issue of terrorism in their political tactics.
• The controversial legal reform complies with a Framework Decision approved by the European Union in 2008.
• Rajoy's Government maneuvered to avoid early release of ETA convicts.
• Applying the law with all guarantees to all prisoners is one of the strengths of democracy.
• The government and its parliamentary allies have managed the issue opaquely.
• The PP and Vox continue to politically capitalize on the pain of terrorism.

Conclusion: The opaque handling of this issue by the government and a legal reform that raises doubts about its intentions highlight the importance of transparency and law compliance in a democracy.
