PNV and EH Bildu have demanded that Sanchez immediately declassify documents from the Zabalza case
Both parties accuse him of blocking transparency and preventing the Zabalza family from obtaining the truth. They also accuse him of being opaque and call for the declassification of documents without waiting for the new Official Secrets Act.
On Wednesday, the PNV asked the President of the Spanish Government ,Pedro Sánchez, to declassify the documents of dictatorship, transition and subsequent decades that are still in secret, especially those relating to the case of Mikel Zabalza.
Jeltzale spokeswoman Maribel Vaquero has taken advantage of the 40th anniversary of the arrest of the young Navarro to denounce that the democratic memory "should not be used only to talk about Franco" and has reproached the government for preventing the clarification of facts that are still unexplained.
Cowboy recalls that the audios released in 2021, in which an agent admitted that "they lost their hand" during the interrogation, completely question the official version of Zabalza's death. The deputy accuses the Spanish Government of refusing to offer truth, justice and reparation to the family and says that the legislation in force would allow declassification despite the justification of Moncloa. "Three years have passed and everything remains the same," he regrets.
Sanchez defends his commitment to transparency, but stresses the need for a new Official Secrets Act to systematically declassify documents. The processing of this rule is still blocked in Congress. The president calls for the support of the groups to move forward. Although he has failed to convince the PNV, which has urged him to honour his commitments and "shed light" on dark areas of the state.
At the same meeting, EH Bildu's deputy, Jon Iñarritu, had a similar crossroads with the Minister of Justice and Presidency, Felix Bolaños, who reproached him that a government defending historical memory "should not keep under lock and key" documents that could clarify what happened in the Zabalza case.
Iñárritu has denounced torture, cover-up and "humiliation against the victims", and has particularly attacked "impunity", while the Basque and Navarre governments recognize Zabalza as a victim of police violence, criticizing the fact that the Spanish Government has turned Arturo Espejo, then lieutenant in Intxaurrondo, into a general.
The Member has asked the Minister to distrust the future classified information law and to declassify the documents requested by the family, stressing that this is a matter of political will.
Bolaños, for his part, has avoided entering into the controversy over Espejo, but has reiterated the Government's commitment to "clarify the truth" and has advocated the adoption of a new law prohibiting the classification of activities that violate human rights and allowing classifications to be appealed.
