2020 July 12, Javier Cercas, “El culpable de la catástrofe”, in El País, Madrid, →ISSN:[…] lo peor desde luego son las medias verdades, porque equivalen a mentiras, pero tienen sabor de la verdad: es evidente a toro pasado que lo ocurrido el 8 de marzo fue un error (o una temeridad), pero es un delirio afirmar que fue un error deliberado (o un delito de prevaricación).- the worst of course are the half-truths, because they amount to lies, but they taste like the truth: it is evident in hindsight that what happened on March 8 was a mistake (or a temerity), but it is insanity to affirm that it was a deliberate error (or a crime of prevarication).
