If the guy was jailed for killing over 200 people, he wasn&#8217;t very &#8216;humanitarian&#8217; to others, was he?. Then, why free him on &#8216;humanitarian&#8217; grounds?

		<description><![CDATA[The regional government of Galicia distributed a questionnaire among parents of schooled children. The goal is to find out parents&#8217; preferences about which language (Spanish or Galician, or a mix) to use for teaching in school, to later design the &#8220;future language policies for elementary and secondary education in Galicia.&#8221; The questionnaire had to reach [...]]]></description>
