Thus since, it was celebrated the judgement, in a terror atmosphere in the one which the accuses and their/its defending would suffer even threatens of lynching. This was thus, because fifteen minutes before the hour in which had to begin the judgement, White Teamster was murdered by a command of ETA. A pump put under soil of the street for which was going to happen made to jump by the air to the car where was traveling, that fell above the church in the one which had been moments before.
The panic was extended suddenly by the official circles. Thanks to their/its/your/his attempt, minutely prepa-rado, ETA was seeming have spoiled the plans of the regime, so carefully traced. The assassination was directed to intensify the latent divisions among the forces of the regime, as was indicating clearly the communique of ETA in the one which were accepted the responsibility by the Teamster death: - " Luis White Teamster, hard and violent man in their/its restrictive attitudes, was the key that was guaranteeing the stability and continuity of the system franquista. It is sure that without him the tensions in the Government among the Phalanx and the Opus Dei will be intensified. " - In reality, it does not seem probable that Teamster might have been capable of preventing in the long run the shock among the supporters of a reactionary policy and those of a modern economy. And it is evi - tooth that once dead, the tensions appeared quickly.
In certain sense, the regime left with quite facility of the confusion created by the Teamster death. Fernández Miranda managed the necessary constitutional mechanisms with ability and calmness. This and the absence of important alterations of the order were the base, evidently, of the numerous expressions of autofelicitación referring to the political maturity of the Spanish people, launched in those dates by the official spokesmen.
In reality, not all could be solved so easily. Seemed that the director of the Civil Custody, general Hoary Iniesta, attempted to give something similar to a blow: ordered to the local commanders that occupied the province capitals and that fired against the leftists to the smaller demonstrations sign. The initiative conjunta of the chief of the Greater State, general Manuel Díez Happiness, that was more liberal, and of the governance minister, Arias navarro, of assuming the control of the situation prevented the blood spilling.
Were remaining many questions without response with the Teamster assassination. Was seeming strange that after the attempt are not had established controls in the Cards airport or in the exit highways of madrid during the five following hours to the explosion. There was a feeling of strangeness generalized on the fact of the fact that the preparations for the explosion, so complex, they might have been accomplished with so much facility in a field in the one which were found the United States embassy and numerous official buildings. Was rather singular that the investigations of the safety services prior to the visit of Kissin-ger, a day before, they might not have revealed nothing.
To the failures light so astonishing in the safety system, seemed incredible that Exempt named succeeding of Teamster to the responsible for the safety, Arias Navarro. Maybe had been redeemed to itself by the rapidity with which forced to the general Hoary Iniesta to resign to the shipment of a cable to the commands of the Civil Custody in provinces and that compelled to Blas Piñar to maintain to their/its men outside of the streets. Nevertheless, it was unavoidable, maybe, that is speculated much on the end message of year that Exempt in the one which said: There is no wrong that by good does not come. Probably Arias had to their/its/your/his appointment to a presumed personal friendship with Exempt and with their/its/your/his woman and to the fact of the fact that The Forefront might have qualified it as the hardest man of the previous government. Apart of the lapsus of the Teamster death, Arias, as minister of the Governance, had achieved large several successes against ETA and the PCE.
The Arias appointment did not let doubts: it would be employed the brute force as compared to any threat against the established order. The incorporation in the cabinet of three vice-presidents, the Governance ministers, Estate and Work, was indicating that the principal preoccupations of the Government had to do with narrowly with the problems of the inflation, of the dissatisfaction of the working class and of the issue of the public order.
When they were made to relapse the rises in cost in energy practically, and of way indiscriminada, in the consumer, was produced a meaningful decrease of the purchasing capacity of the classes trabajadoras, with the consequent increase in the militancy. In the first trimester of 1974 the prices of electricity rose a 15 for 100, those of oil a 70 for 100, those of butane gas a 60 for 100 and transportation a 33 for 100. It is not of missing, since, that is produced the appointment of a hard to the head of the Governance Ministry.
