Terrorism Urkullu frees a pregnant ETA member against the criteria of the Prosecutor's Office
Justice The judge imputes the former heads of ETA 'Kantauri', 'Mikel Antza' and 'Anboto' for the death of Miguel Ángel Blanco
Miguel Ángel Blanco's sister has demanded that the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, tomorrow, in the institutional act presided over by King Felipe VI, "break with EH Bildu", his parliamentary partner and with whom he has agreed the future Memory Law Democratic.
Marimar has reminded the socialist president that "memory and dignity" are defended every day and not only in institutional acts such as the one that will take place tomorrow in the Ermua sports center that bears the name of the PP mayor assassinated by ETA 25 years ago .
Blanco has closed an emotional act in which both Alberto Núñez Feijóo and José María Aznar have denounced the agreement reached by Sánchez with the "heirs" of those who murdered Blanco after having him kidnapped for 24 hours in July 1997.
Marimar Blanco has closed an emotional act in the Plaza San Pelayo de Ermua, the birthplace of Miguel Ángel Blanco and of which he was a councilor when he was assassinated by a terrorist commando.
"They have tried to silence the voice of the victims, the voice of my brother and tomorrow I will speak so that no one can falsify what happened and, above all, why it happened", highlighted Mari Mar Blanco in reference to the controversy over her participation in the institutional event that will be held tomorrow with the presidency of King Felipe VI.
"25 years have passed and I cannot understand how it is possible that there are still tributes to terrorists; it is simply humiliation," Blanco's sister denounced.
Marimar has not only recalled the very hard times that she and her parents Chelo and Miguel suffered 25 years ago, but she has also denounced that it is "unacceptable that those who have never condemned terrorism now exercise control over institutions", Marimar highlighted in the closure of the act of remembrance organized every year by the Basque PP.
An act in which the president of the PP Alberto Núñez Feijóo has promised to repeal the memory law agreed by Sánchez with Bildu with the votes of the "next PSOE".
The president of the PP Alberto Nuñez Feijóo and his predecessor and former Prime Minister José María Aznar have denounced the agreement signed between the PSOE of Pedro Sánchez and EH Bildu to approve the future Historical Memory Law.
Feijóo, who has intervened after Aznar in the tribute held today in Ermua, has promised to repeal this norm claiming the Transition, including "that PSOE".
Aznar, before, had directly challenged him so that when Feijóo reaches the presidency of the Government, he repeals this rule that extends the shadow of the Franco dictatorship until 1983.
Núñez Feijóo and Aznar have focused their interventions on their criticism of the Government of Pedro Sánchez, which Feijóo has repeatedly described as a "democratic government" but to highlight its responsibility in an "unworthy episode" with the latest agreement reached with Arnaldo's party Otegi in Congress.
"The miserable murder of Miguel Ángel was the beginning of the end of ETA," Feijóo stressed, unequivocally defending the "moral victory" that was the social reaction after the murder of the young Basque mayor of Galician origin.
"I vindicate the Transition and all the fathers of the Transition", he affirmed.
Feijóo has emphasized the exemplary process of the Transition and has vindicated all the parties, including "that PSOE" and all the Governments of that period, in the same week that Sánchez's agreement with EH Bildu was closed, which intends to extend the shadow of the Franco dictatorship until 1983.
"Unfortunately there are forgetfulnesses that pursue confrontation and are based on rancor. The strange thing is that the democratic government of this country tolerates that the heirs", Feijóo has affirmed.
The president of the Basque PP has thanked his predecessor José María Aznar for his leadership in the defeat of ETA and has accepted the express request made by the former president of the Spanish Government to repeal the Democratic Memory Law that will be approved next Thursday in the Congress of Deputies.
Aznar addressed Feijóo from the rostrum so that "the indecent footprint of the heirs of terror be erased".
The former president has emphasized his rejection of this norm of which the PP can never "accept even a single comma."
The emotional act began with the placement of a bouquet of white roses next to a photograph of Miguel Ángel Blanco by his sister Marimar together with Núñez Feijóo and José María Aznar.
A gesture that has elicited long applause from all the attendees for several minutes. Carlos Iturgaiz, president of the Basque PP in 1997 and now, has recalled that Miguel Ángel earned 300 pesetas a month as a councilor in Ermua.
"His only obsession was to be able to build that sports center that had fallen", Iturgaiz explained to the young people of the PP.
The leader of the popular Basques has appealed to the "spirit of Miguel Ángel Blanco" as a boost to the current public positions of the PP, whom he has described as "the infantry of the freedom fighters of this land".
"
More than half a thousand PP militants have participated in this act that pays tribute every year in Ermua to the mayor kidnapped and murdered by ETA in July 1997. Members of the PP leadership such as the general secretary Cuca Gamarra and Esteban González Pons have accompanied Núñez Feijóo at the event held in Plaza de San Pelayo, next to the Miguel Ángel Blanco sports center where the institutional event chaired by King Felipe VI will be held tomorrow.
Among the attendees were a hundred young people from New Generations who have celebrated the days that remember the mayor assassinated by ETA.
