This Sunday, October 20, it will be 13 years since we defeated Europe’s last terrorist group in Spain. After more than 50 years of blood, pain and death, harassment and persecution, what was a dream has become a celebrated reality: the end of ETA. Then his death certificate would arrive, with his dissolution.
ETA is over, but its victims are still present: those who were murdered, those who were injured and those who suffer chronic pain in these times of peace, the victims of the violence of persecution, who are still very present, especially in Euskadi. . All these victims deserve a dignified memory policy which – in addition to the rights to truth, justice and reparation – requires unanimous political and institutional recognition of their essential role in the end of ETA. A recognition that goes beyond silences and formal acts, highlighting the memory of their suffering and the injustice of the harm suffered.
