ETA terrorism legacy and victim commemoration

Overview

Recent developments in Spain involve various efforts to address the legacy of the terrorist group ETA through personal encounters and public commemorations.

In one instance, the television program ‘Salvados’ facilitated a meeting between Fernando Garrido, whose family was killed in a 1986 ETA attack, and Josemi Latasa, a former member of the organization who participated in the bombing. The meeting focused on the consequences of terrorism and memory rather than reconciliation.

In Madrid, the city has launched initiatives to honor victims of ETA violence. This includes the unveiling of a monolith at Calle Correo to commemorate the 13 people killed and over 60 injured in a 1974 bombing. This memorial is part of the ‘Itinerario de la libertad’ project, which uses plaques and digital geolocation to provide historical context. Additionally, an exhibition at the Centro Cultural Eduardo Úrculo honors the assassinated Basque politician Gregorio Ordóñez by showcasing personal items and photographs to preserve his legacy.
