Zupiria has stressed that she has "no doubt" that the counterdemonstrators "target was the Ertzaintza, not the Falange."
"It is fun to look at the concentration of the Falange, a party that is irrelevant and legal, not to mention the allegal anti-system groups that made totalitarian use of violence on the streets of Vitoria," he said in an interview.
Security Counselor Bingen Zupiria has stated that he has "no doubt" that the counter-demonstrators "target was the Ertzaintza, not the Falange" during the October 12 riots in Vitoria.
"It's' fun 'to look at the concentration of the Falange so as not to talk about the allegal groups against the system that made totalitarian use of violence on the streets of Vitoria, "he said in an interview with Radio Popular.
He stressed that the riots didn't start because the Falange called a rally, but because "other groups went to that rally to attack."
These anti-system groups "don't get along with each other, but they're against the Ertzaintza," he explained, and for that they have "the support of the political parties that are interested in not confronting them." The counselor quoted EH Bildu and Sumar.
Zupiria has pointed out that among these groups "there is a certain boiling of acronym" and recalled that there was a similar situation in the 1970s that ended "when the People's Union struck the table and concentrated everyone. Today we don't know how it will end."
With regard to the role played by EH Bildu in the current context, the Minister of Security believes that they are "contradicted by the fact that, after 40 years of terrorism, they have embarked on a laundering process and tried to resemble the PNV, but they are not against this totalitarian violence on the streets."
With regard to criticism for authorizing the concentration of the Falange, Zupiria has stressed that since 1976 it has been a legal party and since then "no party or organization has called for its outlawing." "It has all the rights of a legal organization and the Department of Safety and Security is nobody to act for ideological reasons, "he has stressed.
