Prosecutor’s office rejects possibility of banning EH Bildu, claiming it is a “democratic” formation

Date:

The Public Prosecution Service has responded by the Professional Association of Justice for the Guardia Civil (JUCIL) for inclusion in the EH Bildu lists of 44 candidates convicted of ETA membership.

The Prosecutor General’s Office has ruled out the possibility of starting the procedure for the illegalization of EH Bildu, in response to the request of the Professional Association of Justice for the Guardia Civil (JUCIL) requesting the illegality of inclusion on the May 28 lists of 44 candidates convicted of belonging to ETA.

The report, signed by the head of the Technical Secretariat of the Public Prosecutor’s Office (FGE), Ana García León, and by the controversial administrative prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Antonio Narváez, concludes that “given their activity, the legality of its means and the compatibility of its aims with democratic principles, Euskal Herria Bildu constitutes one democratic political education“.

The text says that “therefore, the possibility of applying for the procedure of declaration of illegality provided for in Article 11 of the Organic Law on Political Parties (LOPP) must be rejected, since there are no minimum rational indications for any of the envisaged conduct” in the Organic Law on Political Parties.

He explains that EH Bildu is not a party, but a coalition of two parties that have “publicly denounced and condemned terrorist violence and accepted and assumed the pursuit of political activities within the democratic and constitutional framework.”

And remember that ETA was disbanded 12 years ago and therefore all simultaneous circumstances must be judged from this current perspective with a “quite different context”.
