Sare replies to Itxaso that “normalized ordinary law” is not applied to ETA prisoners

Sare responded to the Spanish government’s delegate in the CAV, Denis Itxaso, that “it is not true” that “normalized ordinary law” is applied to ETA prisoners. “It’s pure exceptionalism and he knows it,” they said.

This Sunday, Sare spokespersons Bego Atxa and Joseba Azkarraga evaluated the demonstration held yesterday in Bilbao and emphasized that the mobilization of “tens of thousands of people” amounts to “support to continue the fight against exceptional policies”.

“Our position should be to continue pushing until the prisoners are released, based on normal prison policy,” he defended.

After emphasizing that they do not ask for “privileges” for prisoners, he has demanded the end of “ad hoc” legislation that “has nothing to do” with the times that Basque society is going through.

In this sense, and questioned by Itxaso’s statements, Azkarraga has said that “he knows very well that what is being applied is not standardized legislation, but the same legislation that José María Aznar adopted in 2005 to strengthen the powers of local courts deprive. an ETA acts and we are not in that situation”, while rejecting the 40-year prison sentences and the fact that the part of the sentence served in French prisons is not counted.

On the other hand, regarding judicial decisions on rankings, he said that “it is very difficult for us to respect decisions when they are tainted by political decisions. When politics enters the door of the National Courtjustice goes out the window.
