• The National Court does not prohibit the acts of 'Gudari Eguna' but orders "to monitor them"

“It is very worrying that the hatred and the cult of the ETA are still there, year after year, given the passivity of our institutions.

Tributes in style to all ETA members, who transmit to children, to new generations, that they are 'heroes who gave their lives for a dream', when it is not like that.

They are murderers or accomplices of murderers ».

Consuelo Ordóñez

, president of Covite, voices the indignation of the victims because the Basque streets become altars to ETA, as if they were heroes.

«It is urgent to do pedagogy in democratic values ​​and teach the new generations what ETA is and what its consequences have been.

But unfortunately there are very few of us who make an effort to do this pedagogy, ”he laments.

The Gudari Eguna, (the day of the Basque soldier) was celebrated this Sunday, as every year, in the abnormal normality of remembering ETA with impunity in squares and streets of various towns in the Basque Country and Navarra.

The National Court allowed these acts to be carried out despite the denunciation of Dignity and Justice, which tried to ban them on the grounds that they represent, with their sole convocation, a crime of glorifying terrorism and humiliating ETA victims.

"It is the new normal of Justice in which everything that has to do with ETA has disappeared", says

Daniel Portero

, president of Dignidad y Justicia.

«The glorification of terrorism no longer has any importance, but a law is going to be made that seeks to glorify Francoism.

That has not happened with ETA.

ETA victims are the latest, "he says

Initially proposed as acts of homage to Jon Paredes (Txiki) and Ángel Otaegi, two ETA militants shot in 1975 during the Franco regime, they end up being a general tribute to the dead ETA members.

In yesterday's events, the occasion was also used to remember Igor Sola, who committed suicide in his cell in Martutene and who was referred to as "murdered" in the call for the events.

The victims are clear that what is at stake is the story, the memory of more than 40 years of terrorist activity.

Also the nationalist left.

Precisely,

Haimar Altuna,

a Sortu leader who participated in the act in the Zarautz cemetery to honor Txiki and Otaegi, criticized the "insistence of some" that there be a story of "winners and losers.

"

We are not going to accept that he tells us what to say, much less feel,

" he said.
