Unacceptable filtrations about Barajas accident

18 September 2008 No Comment

Today, on the Commission established to investigate the accident of the airplane of Barajas, the representatives of the pilots resigned, due of the filtrations to the mass media that have been done systematicly. This is one of the multiple irregularities on the management of this accident by the Spanish public administration.

On a country in which the filtrations are used by the socialist governments in order to do two type of things: first, to hide the effect of other huge problems on Spain (for instance, the economic crisis); second, to divert its responsibility to another institution. But the thing here is that this is a serious issue, a tragedy of more than 150 people dead. Not only this, it is very important to identify what is exactly the problem to avoid such problems on the future.

In a western country, in a civilized country, a commission like this is a technical commission that needs to take into account all the different things related to the accident, and then, after analysing these things, finish its work with a report indicating the causes of the accident and recommendations. This is done by technical people, as I said, and without pressures of any kind, and, of course, certainly coming from politics or the government.

What is the government wanting to do? What is the government wanting to hide? I would like any member of the government to answer, but clearly. Not like this video.
