UPN takes the Burlada party program to court for including tributes to ETA prisoners

The UPN municipal group in the Burlada City Council has accused the current government team, chaired by EH Bildu and his partners from Contigo-Zurekin and Geroa Bai, of “using the official party program to launder ETA members with the inclusion several tributes to prisoners of the terrorist band” and has announced an appeal before the Justice. “It constitutes an act of adhesion and support for a certain cause”, they have pointed out from the regionalist formation.

Thus, they have affirmed that “it is absolutely repugnant that they want to mix the celebration of our patron saint festivities with this type of issue and that it is endorsed from the institutional point of view”. In addition, they have remarked that “in no case do these acts represent either the citizens or their parties”, and they have criticized that “money from all citizens is allocated to organize these so-called 'activities'. Finally, the regionalists have criticized that the government team “equates these acts of laundering terrorism with those that are celebrated in honor of the patron saint of the town”.
