Overview
- Institutions across the Basque Country paused on November 10 to honor victims, with the Basque Government’s main event at Vitoria’s Palacio Europa held without PP or Vox attendance.
- The PP mounted a separate tribute at Vitoria’s Monument to the Victims of Terrorism, where Javier de Andrés said ETA’s crimes should not be “diluted” with other violences and argued joint acts seek to whitewash EH Bildu.
- Vox hosted an act in Bilbao calling for the day to be dedicated exclusively to ETA’s victims and accusing PNV and PSE of promoting equidistance.
- Local and civic ceremonies included floral offerings, minutes of silence and name readings, with Bilbao’s act led by victims’ relatives and Andoain’s Elkarbizi event urging remembrance of all victims without hierarchies and calls for restorative justice.
- Zumarraga marked the day with a wreath and silence as the mayor listed local victims and reaffirmed a 15‑year municipal commitment to remembrance, recognition, justice and repair.
