00:005 dead and 5 seriously injured is the provisional balance of the attack perpetrated by right-wing gunmen in a buffet of labor lawyers on Anducha Street in Madrid.
00:24Mr. Riodino.
00:25Hello. Can I go in?
00:27Of course.
00:30Mr. Riodino.
00:40Luis Javier Benavides opened the door.
00:44On the other side, two armed men with pistols appeared.
00:49One with his face uncovered and the other hidden behind a mountain pass.
00:56Put your hands up.
00:59Come on, put your hands up.
01:02Come on.
01:04They kill each other one by one,
01:08trying to cause death to each and every one of us.
01:15I've been fighting post-traumatic stress
01:18like any other citizen who has been subjected to a tragedy like the one I had to live through.
01:30It was there, on the third floor.
01:33Throughout the history of the law school, we had never been attacked in such a hideous way.
01:39When that happened, it was a kind of lightning strike.
01:44For this to happen, it was not only unexpected,
01:49but also something we couldn't believe.
01:53I was impressed by the fact that these right-wing groups
01:57were precisely against the young lawyers who were gathered to defend the neighborhoods.
02:02It was a spiral of action-reaction that led to a process of regression
02:07towards a dictatorship or a governed democracy.
02:11These days, listening to all these stories,
02:15well, they have moved my heart, they have touched me.
