They denounce the mayor of Hernani
The Villacisneros Foundation has also filed a complaint against the mayor of Hernani (Gipuzkoa), Xabier Lertxundi (EH Bildu), before the State Attorney General’s Office for including in the program of patron saint festivities “a protest demonstration in favor of ETA prisoners” .
The agenda of the Department of Culture of Hernani on the website of the town hall includes the celebration of a demonstration, on the 23rd, under the slogan “Presoak kalera!” (“Prisoners out on the street!”).
In a statement, the Villacisneros Foundation recalls that “the Law for the Comprehensive Recognition and Protection of Victims of Terrorism indicates, in its article 61, that the State assumes the defense of the dignity of the victims of terrorism.”
