A group of former ETA prisoners has organized a tribute day in
Zarautz
for the 184 members of the gang who remain in prison for next Saturday, June 18.
The acts will begin with a concentration and will continue throughout the day and part of the night because a festival is planned.
The socialist spokeswoman and councilor in the Consistory
Gloria Vázquez
has denounced these acts in a town where the gang murdered 20 people.
"It is unfortunate that there are those who still persist and seek to glorify those who have been convicted of murdering, threatening, blackmailing and belonging to or collaborating with ETA, after causing a large number of murders and injuries throughout the bloody criminal history of the terrorist group" , Vázquez has denounced that he is part of the government team made up of PNV and
PSE-EE
led by Mayor
Xabier Txurruka.
The act is organized by a group called
Free Them All
and that, according to Vázquez, is made up of 33 former prisoners of the terrorist group.
In the posters announcing the protest day called
184 taupada
(184 beats, in Basque) a concentration is announced starting at 12 noon after which a popular meal will be held to continue with parades, concert and verbena with several guests.
This group had already organized a reception for an ETA member from the town without it transpiring.
"ETA has murdered 20 people in Zarautz in its criminal history, including the first female police officer,
María José García
and
Ángel Berazadi,
who was murdered after being kidnapped. The journalist and fellow Zarautz
Gorka Landaburu
and
Leticia Iturain
, who has been marked both physically and mentally, for life," Vázquez said in a statement.
The call for the festive day is made public when the
Sare
platform has demanded that the
Pamplona
prison management apply the same criteria to ETA prisoners that the Basque Government is using in the three prisons transferred on October 1, 2021 The management of
Iruñea
(Pamplona, in Basque) is obstinate in an immovable position, in a totally divergent line of action with which it is maintained in the prisons managed by the Basque Government", have warned representatives of Sare and the group of relatives of
Etxerat
ETA prisoners .
According to these two groups that support the prisoners of the gang, the seven who are in
Pamplona
have already requested a transfer to the
Álava
and
Guipúzcoa
prisons managed by the counselor
Beatriz Artolazabal
(PNV).
The pressure for the management of the prison in the capital of Navarra to provide more permits and grant third degrees will be seen in a march that will be held next Saturday the 18th in Pamplona.
