EH Bildu's Secretary General, Arnaldo Otegi, testified on Monday in a court in Vitoria-Gasteiz to denounce the "death threats"received in December. The abertzale coalition filed a complaint on this matter in December, but the matter has not been disclosed so far.
In fact, EH Bildu decided not to make the threats public, but yesterday Otegi testified in courtand the information was leaked.
EH Bildu sources have pointed out that the threats were received around 18 December last year, "following statements by the President of the Basque PP, Javier de Andrés, in the Basque Parliament." On that day, De Andrés announced the "destruction" of EH Bildu .
The subject has spread.
Once the threats had been received, representatives of the abertzale coalition informed the Bureauof the Basque Parliament and filed a complaint in court.
Sources from EH Bildu have explained that they decided to act "discreetly" on this issue, as "they are not used to explaining such situations publicly." After Otegi's statement, the matter has spread.
For his part, the Basque Government's Security Adviser, Bingen Zupiria, has "strongly" condemned the threats in an interview on Radio Euskadi. "Threatening to kill a person is a crime. As such, I hope that the Ertzaintza and the justice system will determine the identity of the person who has made the threats," he said.
Zupiria explained that the threats were reported in December and that the case has been in the hands of the courts since January.
