Ego Non warns in the tribute to Pagazaurtundua that ETA “was not a political cycle but a terrorist group”

The Ego Non association has warned in the tribute it paid this morning to Joxeba Pagazaurtundua that ETA “was not a political cycle but a terrorist band.” “It was a cycle of terror and fanaticism that is still present today in a political strategy that has not condemned its past,” he added. The association made up of young people from the Basque Country and Navarra has developed a civic and tribute event in Andoain in memory of Joxeba Pagazaurtundua, who was head of the Local Police of this Guipuzcoan municipality murdered by the terrorist group ETA on February 8, 2003. With the approval of the Pagazaurtundua Ruiz family, the association has carried out the civic event at the place where the monument of Agustín Ibarrola is located, called ‘La casa de Joseba’, where it has made a floral offering. The event was attended by representatives of the PP of Gipuzkoa. Spokespersons for the association have read a statement in which they have warned that ETA murdered Joseba Pagazaurtundua for being “free, thinking differently and representing the values ​​that bothered totalitarianism and fanaticism.” “We are here to remember you and to remember all the victims of ETA’s terrorism that they deserve memory, truth, dignity and justice,” they expressed, to censure the more than 850 murdered in the name of a violent, xenophobic and exclusionary that, “to this day, continues as a political roadmap for those who are his heirs and political arm.” In this context, they have defended that even today it is necessary to remember that ETA “was not a political cycle but a terrorist band” and its members “are not political prisoners but murderers or collaborators of the terror they sowed and who did not carry out any heroic act but actions “violent actions that should provoke the rejection of the entire society”. “We are here for the more than 180,000 exiles who had to leave the Basque Country and Navarra, for the more than 350 unsolved crimes… There were some murderers and there are some victims and that is the only truth,” they emphasized. Likewise, they have maintained that what happened “was not a political cycle”, but was “a cycle of terror and fanaticism that is still present today in a political strategy that has not condemned its past.” “We have to say it clearly: there is a political group with great social support in the Basque Country and Navarra that acts as a lobbyist for terrorist prisoners and that seeks to only talk about victims in sentimental terms, to hide the substance of its strategy that Before it was based on taking away freedom and now it focuses on rewriting the history of terror that this land has suffered,” they expressed. Finally, they have warned that “without memory, justice, truth, without dignity and without memory there will never be a Euskadi, a Navarra, a Spain that advances.” “We will have a Euskadi, a Navarra and a Spain that is less free, less fair and less dignified,” they concluded. Ego Non has been the entity in charge of carrying out the civic event this Sunday after it was announced after last year’s edition that it was going to be the last one in which it was “celebrated as such.”
