Political parties give their views on the 50th anniversary of the death of 'Txiki' and Otaegi
The PNV and the PSE-EE claim to be victims of Francoism, but call for terrorism not to be blurred. EH Bildu defends their memory as a "reference" for the fight against Francoism and calls for the PP to remember the "crimes" they committed.
Act of remembrance of 'Txiki' and Otaegi.
This Saturday, 27 September, marks the 50th anniversary of the last shooting of Francoism. Jon Paredes 'Txiki'and Angel Otaegi, members of ETA, were executed together with three members of the FRAP. In this context, the groups represented in the Basque Parliament have shared their point of view in themorning on the Parliament programme.
The PNVspokesman in the Basque Parliament, Joseba Diez Antxustegi, has stated that they are victims of Francoism, but has asked that this memory should not serve to give a certain view of the use of violence: "Their memory cannot serve to instrumentalize or justify the use of violence, let alone in democracy. It cannot tarnish ETA's terrorism."
On the other hand, EH Bildubelieves that 'Txiki' and Otaaegi are references, and its spokesman, Nerea Kortajarena , has alluded to the international context: "No one can doubt that these figures must be proclaimed. Today, those who applaud the genocide that Israel is practising in Gaza are the same ones who carried out these shootings, those who deny male violence or those who attack the LGBT group."
The PSE-EEcalls for a clear distinction between homage and remembrance. Thus, its spokesman, Ekain Rico , has stressed that they are not a reference: "Their summary judgments were a farce, and as victims of Francoism, we must recognize the institutions, no doubt, but they were part of ETA, which requires a clear distinction."
Santiago Lopez,amember of parliament of the PP , has refused to refer to 'Txiki' and Otaegi as references: 'There are only reasons for their contempt and condemnation. Of course, they were sentenced to death that they should not have received, but we must also remember the crimes they committed because several family members were murdered on behalf of a group like ETA.'
