ESSAY 6 (Interview)
Petra joined a terrorist group years ago and during this special conversation we'll know more about this dark world and what Petra's reasons were to leave the group two years ago.
James Swan: Petra, welcome and thank you for accepting our invitation.
Petra: Thank you for inviting me and let me explain how is life belonging to a terrorist group.
J.S: First of all, our audience have to know that Petra isn't our real name. Why do you use a nickname?
Petra: Well, I have to think about my family, and giving my real name to the media could imply several problems to them.
J.S: I understand... So, you admit having belonged to a terrorist group some time ago. Explain us what the group ideology was.
Petra: The group wanted to fight against the radical "ultra-dreta" and fascists goups which continue existing in our country.
JS: So all the violents actions the group committed were focused on this type of radical groups?
Petra: Yes, we never wanted to hurt any innocent person.
J.S: Have you ever got any problem with the police?
Petra: Yes, that was the reason why I left the group. During an action the police came and other integrants of the group and me were arrested. I didn't have a police record, so I only had to spend one year in prison.
J.S: After this time in prison, did you think about the possibility of returning to the group?
Petra: Well, first I thought so much about that, but then I got pregnant and I forgot any idea of returning to the group.
J.S: Are you sorry for what you did?
Petra: No, I think the group attacked bad people so I think it's justified.
J.S: Well Petra, thank you for being so brave and sharing your experience with us.
Petra: Thank you to give me the oportunity!
