Basque institutions commemorate victims on Day of Memory

Day of Memory Basque Country ETA political violence human rights

Basque institutions and regional authorities held ceremonies on November 10 to observe the Day of Memory, an annual commemoration established by the Basque Parliament to honor victims of political violence and human rights violations.

In Bilbao, the Provincial Council of Vizcaya participated in a tribute organized by the City Council to reaffirm its commitment to memory and its rejection of all forms of violence. Meanwhile, the Basque Parliament held a floral offering and a minute of silence at the ‘Gauerdiko Iparrorratza’ sculpture. The parliamentary event was attended by President Bakartxo Tejeria and Lehendakari Imanol Pradales, though representatives from the PP and Vox parties did not attend, as they oppose the inclusion of victims of state apparatus abuses in the commemoration.

In conjunction with these events, the Institute of Memory, Coexistence and Human Rights (Gogora) noted that this year marks the fifteenth anniversary of the definitive cessation of violence by ETA. Additionally, members of Etxerat held a demonstration near the regional parliament to demand recognition for the families of ETA prisoners who died in traffic accidents while traveling to visit relatives in prisons located outside the Basque Country.
