The Collectiveof Victims of Terrorism Covite has denounced the 135 actsof support for ETA prisoners held in the Basque Autonomous Community (CAV) and Navarre during the summer , calling for the releaseof"banners, painted and posters with the faces of , as well as shows, dances and concerts aimed at enhancing their image".
"The summer is not yet over, nor is the Aste Nagusia in Bilbao, and we have a worrying fact that shows what has always happened at the summer holidays in the Basque Country and Navarre: the unjust appropriation of festive spaces by the left abertzale to legitimize terrorism and spread messages of support to terrorists," the group of victims regrets.
According to Covite, in 26 of these actions "the local institutions themselves, under the command of EH Bildu, organized the activities by incorporating them into the official holiday programmes", the rest, the group has indicated, were promoted by "associations around the left abertzale".
Messages in charanga, txosna or comparisons "help new generations internalize a distorted view of what terrorism was, presenting ETA members as heroes worthy of recognition and deserving of impunity," Covite stressed.
In this context, the President of Covite, ConsueloOrdóñez , has lamented that "such messages promote the idea that the penalties imposed for murder and other crimes for the legitimate purpose of removing from prison were unfair".
"They know full well that what causes us suffering is an obscene display of the murderers of our relatives. They just have to stop doing so to alleviate our suffering," Covite said.
"It is very worrying that young people, the main audience at these holidays, receive these messages because they increase the risk of violent radicalization and pose a threat to the future of our society," the group stresses.
