This photo released by the United We Can Party, shows four bullets that arrived inside an envelope addressed to United We Can Party leader Pablo at the Interior Ministry's headquarters in Madrid on Friday, April, 23, 2021. Most political parties in Spain have condemned a series of death threats mailed to the country's interior minister, the director of the Civil Guard police force and the leader of a far-left political party. The threats were delivered in envelopes filled with bullets and accompanied by anonymous letters either demanding for the three officials to step down from their positions or plainly menacing the recipients and their relatives. The letter reads in Spanish &quot;you have let our parents and grandparents die, your wife, your parents and you are sentenced to death, your time is running out.&quot; (United We Can Party Office Via AP)
