This Friday Zapateiro replied in the same way: “Senator, do not make use of your power of investiture (parliamentary inviolability) to attempt to politicize the death of our soldiers. Instead, fulfill your citizen duty of an substantiated complaint to the Prosecutor’s Office about the facts that you mention regardless of who you are.”
