Dozens of radicals
have gathered at the
municipal fronton of Berango
(Vizcaya) to
pay homage to ETA member Ibai Aginaga
who left Basauri prison this morning.
Aginaga has been greeted
with rockets upon his arrival
at the outdoor parking lot of the
fronton and with applause and cheers as he entered
a shielded facility by the organizers of the media, who have been prevented from entering and
threatened not to take pictures
of the ETA member.
Aginaga is part of the group of ETA prisoners that does not follow the slogans of the so-called EPPK that has former ETA members as a reference with
José Antonio López Ruiz 'Kubati'
.
Aginaga was arrested in Pamplona in 2003,
sentenced to 21 years in prison
and today he has left the Basauri prison to participate in an 'ongi etorri' organized by a sector of the Abertzale Left.
The ETA member has arrived in his hometown after 12:30 in the morning and
twenty supporters were waiting for him outside
the municipal fronton and several dozen inside.
After getting out of his vehicle accompanied by a woman, rockets have been launched and he has accessed the interior of a public premises of this Biscayan city council governed by the PNV.
Several Aginaga supporters have addressed the photojournalists with the threat that they not take pictures while the professionals were recorded by one of the individuals participating in the act in favor of ETA.
Access to the interior of a public facility has also been prevented for the media while the
applause and shouts began in Basque demanding the release of the ETA members
.
The tribute to Aginaga takes place five months after the group of prisoners close to Sortu expressly renounced
being received in public tributes
when they leave prison.
A decision that in the statement issued by the EPPK they linked to the pain caused to the victims of terrorism but that
facilitates the ETA members' requests for a change of grade
to speed up their release while they are serving long sentences for murders.
Aginaga's tribute is the second made by groups critical of Sortu's political management and the leadership exercised by
Arnaldo Otegi
.
The independence party has distanced itself from this act although there has been no public statement by its leaders.
ETA member
Iñaki Etxeberria 'Mortadelo'
was also honored in Pamplona on December 24, 2021 by relatives and followers.
