The Collective of Victims of Terrorism (Covite)
has accused
the Government of Urkullu of "lying"
when it informed it that the release of ETA members through the concession of the third degree would only be approved when there was a
"clear desire for reinsertion and ideological disengagement of ETA"
.
A double condition expressly included in the Spanish penitentiary regulations and that, according to the president of Covite
Consuelo Ordóñez,
the Executive of Urkullu has not respected in the eight third degrees granted.
Among the ETA members who will be released in the coming days is
José María Erostarbe
Fiti
, convicted of 13 murders in two attacks in Zaragoza in 1987 and 1988.
"We were afraid that they would look for
traps and quick ways to get them out of jail as soon as they had the transfer of prisons"
, highlighted Consuelo Ordóñez in the first assessment of the imminent release of 'Fiti',
Mikel Arrieta, Unai Fano, Ugaitz Pérez, José Ramada, Egoitz Coto, Iñaki Garcés and José Ángel Lenin
.
All of them are in Basque prisons after being transferred by the Ministry of the Interior within the
policy of rapprochement activated by President Pedro Sánchez and Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska
.
The Basque Government has authorized the concession to these eight ETA members of the third degree despite the fact that, as Covite has denounced today, there are doubts about the "subjective variables" included in article 156 of the prison regulations to apply these benefits in the fulfillment of sentences .
"These are
members of ETA who are proud of their criminal past
and who have all the logistical and propaganda support of the nationalist left," warned Ordóñez, announcing the presentation of a document to the National High Court Prosecutor's Office to examine the granting of these releases.
The eight grade changes constitute the
first decision on a group of ETA
members adopted by the Government of Urkullu after assuming the prison jurisdiction on October 1st.
Minister Artolazabal announced last Sunday the granting of "a dozen" third degrees and that another 26 requests have been rejected.
After this announcement, the Basque Government now refuses to offer more information on this decision.
The Association of Victims of Terrorism (AVT) is also opposed
to these grade progressions and will request the intervention of the Prosecutor's Office so that, as established by law, it examines the decision adopted by the Government of Urkullu.
The president of the Basque PP
Carlos Iturgaiz
has denounced through social networks that the transfer of Prisons to Euskadi is used "to place a
silver bridge towards the release of murderers
who neither repent nor help to solve murders committed" and has lamented that "sometimes the PNV is not distinguished from Bildu".
