Piled-up clauses
Here is some free-form paragraph that shows how flexible Spanish is (sometimes too flexible ... and forgiving).

In English, this would appear written by someone ignoring rules of grammar. It should be three sentences with three separate but related subjects.

Surprisingly, the paragraph has only one subject, and although it's awfully constructed I don't think there's any mistakes in grammar just abuses.

"Creo que la permanencia del terrorismo etarra es un hecho manipulado por quienes no reparan en métodos a la hora de conquistar el poder. "
This is the core of it. Though the subject is the writer, it clearly points to "them", the usual subjects, you know, the ones that eat babies in pizza parlor basements and control the space lasers that throw hurricanes in the path of the patriotic god-fearing people.
