The act of tribute dedicated to Miguel Ángel Blanco in the 25th anniversary of ETA .’s kidnapping and murder It is celebrated this Sunday in Ermua, with a wide representation of the Basque and Spanish institutions.
The act will kick off at 12:30pm at the Miguel Ángel Blanco Sports Center, and despite having extensive representation, again it will not have the presence of the entire political and social arc.
Thus, the act will be attended by Lehendakari Iñigo Urkullu, along with more heads of the Basque government; The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sanchez; the king Philip SAW; the mayor of the city, Juan Carlos abascal; and Marimar Blanco, among others.

Other confirmed delegations for the event include those of PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Ciudadanos President Inés Arrimadas. United We Can-IU is represented by Pilar Garrido, the coordinator in Euskadi.
However, there are some omissions that have been put on the table throughout the week that have resulted in cross-references between formations and institutions.
For example, last Tuesday the spokesman of the Basque government, Bingen Zupiria, regretted Sortu’s absence from the tribute and criticized that “he does not want to take this opportunity to reflect on what happened around the kidnapping and murder” of the popular mayor.
Arkaitz Rodriguez, in response to Zupiria, invoked the Declaration of Aiete of October 18, 2021: “That reading undoubtedly applies to the case of Miguel Ángel Blanco. So we said, and I will remember it word for word, that we are very I deeply regret the pain the victims of ETA have suffered, that we made that pain our own and that with that sincere feeling that should never have happened”. Sortu rejects the participation of the king and representatives of the state security forces and organs.
The AVT, the former president of the Spanish government, José María Aznar or Vox are some of the confirmed absentees, after this week the Spanish government reached an agreement with EH Bildu to approve the Democratic Memory Act. In any case, other associations, such as Covite, have confirmed their presence.
