The young Josu Zabala Erasun was remembered today in Hondarribia in a tribute organized by the Egiari Zor Foundation and the Hondarribia City Council, which killed Zabala in 1976 after being shot by the Civil Guard during a demonstration against the kidnapping of ETA member Eduardo Moreno Bergaretxe, 'Pertur'.

The statement read at the event recalled that "barely a month ago", within the framework of the Democratic Memory Act, the Spanish Government approved "personal recognition and reparation" to Zabala.

However, they point out that "the recognition by the State today of what was always an obvious social truth shows that so far the victims have received only the indifference of the institutions of the State".

In any case, "this step has been positively assessed." "The Zabala Erasun family has been knocking hard on the door that has now been opened for half a century," and "through this and other cases it is managing to widen an ever-widening gap in the wall of negationism, impunity and the single narrative."
