[image: sabino-cuadras]<http://www.marxist.com/images/stories/spain/sabino-cuadras.png>Sabino CuadraSabino Cuadra is a member of the Spanish Parliament elected in 2011 as part of Amaiur, a coalition of the left wing Basque nationalists (the* abertzale *Left). On May 8 he spoke in Parliament answering the Ministry of the Interior of the right wing Popular Party government on the question of violence and civil confrontation. The background to this debate is the recent mobilisations against evictions and repossessions, now affecting hundreds of thousands of Spanish families. In recent weeks the anti-evictions movement has adopted a new method of struggle, that of publicly shaming prominent right wing members of parliament by protesting outside their homes. These protests (known as * escraches*) are peaceful and have overwhelming support from public opinion. The right wing PP government has denounced them as being "Nazi methods" as well as comparing these protests to "ETA terrorism". Sabino, who is also a trade union activist and labour lawyer (first in the left wing of CCOO, now in LAB) answers by unmasking the class nature of bourgeois law which uses a "silk glove for the boss but an iron fist for the worker" and denounces that "the main terrorism we have today in Spain is social terrorism". We have added English subtitles (click the "captions" option) in order to make this powerful speech available to a wider audience.
