Attributing them
Translation examples
It’s true that in the hunting party unleashed against him over the course of 1980 many of the criticisms he received were personal rather than political, but it’s no less true that when he arrived in government he had also been the object of personal criticisms, only then the Prime Minister was still protected by the privileges of an authoritarian system and his neophyte enthusiasm turned them into spurs to his will and his mental strength neutralized them, attributing them to failings of their authors – errors of judgement, frustrated ambitions, unsatisfied vanity, bitterness – now, instead, exposed by liberty, submitted to pressing demands and with his defences decimated by the high-interest loan of almost five years of a term of office in often extreme conditions, he felt those personal criticisms to be an instrument of daily martyrdom, undoubtedly because he repeated them to himself, and against oneself there is no possible protection.
Es verdad que en la cacería desatada contra él a lo largo de 1980 muchas de las críticas que recibía eran, antes que políticas, personales, pero no es menos verdad que cuando llegó al gobierno también había sido objeto de críticas personales, sólo que entonces el presidente estaba todavía acorazado por los privilegios de un sistema autoritario y que su entusiasmo de neófito las convertía en acicates de su voluntad y su fortaleza mental las neutralizaba, atribuyéndolas a las flaquezas de sus autores – a sus errores de juicio, a sus ambiciones frustradas, a su vanidad insatisfecha, a su rencor –; ahora, en cambio, desprotegido por la libertad, sometido a unas exigencias acuciantes y con las defensas diezmadas por la usura de casi un lustro de mandato en condiciones muchas veces extremas, tales críticas eran un instrumento cotidiano de martirio, sin duda porque se las repetía a sí mismo, y contra uno mismo no hay protección posible.
