UPN has denounced an EH Bildu councillor in Pamplona for his words "in support of ETA prisoners" in Hatortxu Rock
According to UPN, "the words of Endika Alonso ('Until everyone is at home. Long live us. Long live Hatortxu') were pronounced from the stage and in front of thousands of people."
UPN has filed a lawsuit in the National High Court against Endika Alonso, deputy councilor for Security and Coexistence of Pamplona City Council (EH Bildu), for "exalting terrorism and humiliating the victims, in line with what the councilwoman said at the Hatortxu Rock festival."
According to UPN in a press release, "Alonso's words ("Until everyone is at home. Long live us. Long live ours. Long live Hatortxu") were said from the stage and in front of thousands of people."
"It is neither a small act nor an unfortunate lapsus. It is a statement full of political and ideological meanings that in this context (in other editions he has appeared as the organizer of Hatortxu Rock) amounts to an explicit message of support for ETA prisoners," said Cristina Ibarrola, spokesperson for UPN in the Pamplona City Council and president of the regionalist party.
UPN's complaint has been admitted and the judge has decided to issue a report on the facts reported by the Civil Guard.
Regionalists have also accused the mayor of Arbizu, Francisco Javier Razkin (EH Bildu), of "participating in the tribute to Francisco Balda, convicted of being an active member of ETA."
"We hope that Mr Alonso will be summoned to testify before the judge. We also believe that, regardless of the criminal responsibilities that his actions may entail, he cannot continue to lead the Department of Security and Coexistence for another minute. The head of the Municipal Police has made explicit statements in favour of ETA prisoners. It is unacceptable that after what has happenedhe should remain in office because the dignity of the institutions and the trust of the citizens is called into question. "
