Azkarraga accuses judges and prosecutors of being "the legal weapon of the extreme right" against ETA members. The harsh recrimination of the nationalist politician comes after the appeals that have suspended the granting of the 'third degree' to Joseba Borde and Juan Carlos Subijana who yesterday returned to prison from Basauri.

According to Sare data, the Basque Executive has granted 74 'third degrees' to ETAMembers since October 2021, which allows the members of the gang to serve the remaining time of their sentence at home.
