"I acknowledge the pain caused, of which I am fully aware, and with this letter I would like to express my regret, in particular, to those who suffered directly from the consequences." Theseare the words of former ETA leader Marisol Iparragirre Anboto from a letter addressed to the victims dated 26 January 2026, which was made public today by the National High Court in the order issued to the prisoner to suspend the regime of semi-liberty granted by the Basque Government.
In fact, this letter was used by the Government to justify the establishment of the regime referred to in Article 100.2. In the text, Iparragirre acknowledges that the consequences of his actions are not reversed and expresses his regret. "I reiterate my firm commitment not to repeat and to opt for channels of dialogue, both for conflict resolution and for wound recovery", he writes.
In addition, the AN has issued in another order two letters from ETA prisoner Garikoitz Aspiazu Txeroki, in which, unlike the previous one, the judge confirms the Government's decision.
In one of the letters, Aspiazu addresses all the victims of ETA, expressing his intention to help alleviate and heal the pain he has caused with his words and actions. "I hope and wish that my words and actions will, as far as possible, relieve and heal the pain they have caused; I make that pain my own, with empathy and sincerity."
Whoever was one of the leaders of the ETA military apparatus recognizes that his personal evolution is linked to parenthood. "The greatest contribution I can make to coexistence is to educate my children in tolerance, non-violence and peace to heal as much as possible the pain of the victims," he says in the letter signed in March last year.
After expressing his commitment not to harm or add more suffering to the people who suffered violence in the past, the prisoner says that although the damage caused is irreparable, it is possible to take steps to build the present and the future in peace and coexistence.
Iparragirre is serving a prison sentence of more than 600 years and Aspiazu. almost 400 years.
