The Spanish Government has declared "unlawful and invalid" the Council of War in which Txiki and Otaegi were tried and their executions
At the request of the families and in application of Law 20/2022 on Democratic Memory, the Spanish Government has approved the Declaration of Recognition and Personal Reparation in favour of Jon Paredes Txiki and Angel Otaegi, recognizing that they were persecuted for "political reasons, courts without guarantees and victims of human rights violations".
The Spanish Government has approved the Declaration of Recognition and Personal Reparation in favour of Jon Paredes Txiki and Angel Otaegi and has declared them "illegitimate and null and void" by the Council Gerra and their death sentences, according to a press release released to the media by the legal representative of the families, Juanjo Alvarez.
On 14 January 2025, the families of the two victims requested reparation from the Spanish Government Delegation in the Basque Country. The legal basis, based on articles 4, 5 and 6 of the Act on Democratic Memory, was drawn up by the lawyer and professor Juanjo Álvarez, who declared null and void the sentences handed down for political, ideological or conscientious reasons during the War and Dictatorship.
The Spanish Government now acknowledges that Txiki and Otaegi were persecuted "for political reasons, for unguaranteed courts and for victims of human rights violations ". The official statement underlines" the injustice and arbitrariness of the proceedings "and that" reparation will contribute to restoring the personal and family dignity of both and to strengthening democratic memory ".
The resolution is dated 25 November 2025, signed by the Minister for Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory of the Spanish Government.
The families thank the Spanish Government Delegation in the Basque Country, the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory and the victim support groups, as well as the Basque Government and, in the case of Txiki, the Department of Justice of the Government of Catalonia for their cooperation.
