Esan calls for the annulment of Rosa Zarra's confession as a victim of police action
"This act is an intolerable insult to the Ertzainas, an insult to the truth and a political manipulation of the past, with the sole aim of criminalizing the Basque police and reopening the wounds that the justice system closed decades ago," says Esan.
The union Esan has requested the revocation of the recognition of Rosa Zarra as a victim of police action, as well as the removal of the plaque placed by the Donostia City Council in memory of this woman, who died eight days after being hit by a rubber ball fired by the Ertzaintza in 1995.
On 22 June 1995, Zarra was in the vicinity of the Anoeta stadium, in a mobilization, when a rubber ball fired by the Ertzaintza hit him in the abdomen in a load caused by the disturbances there, which sympathized with Alditrans workers and called for the release of businessman José María Aldaya, kidnapped by ETA.
The plaque in memory of Rosa Zarra was placed last Saturday, seven and a half months after the assessment commission for victims of politically motivated violence in the Basque Country recognized her as a victim.
According to him, the Justice Department of the Basque Government "has decided to describe Rosa Zarra as a 'victim of the Ertzaintza', without a court ruling, without new evidence and contraryto all legal and ethical criteria ".
"This act is an intolerable insult to the Ertzainas, an insult to the truth and a political manipulation of the past, with the sole aim of criminalizing the Basque police and reopening the wounds that the justice system closed decades ago," says Esan. The Gipuzkoa High Court dismissed the case and the then Interior Councillor, Juan Mari Atutxa, "firmly defended the police action."
"To want the opposite now from a political office is to falsify history and attack the entire police force that has given its life for the Basque Country, "Esan said.
