Covite Counts 374 Pro‑ETA Acts in 2025, an 11% Decline From 2024

The victims' association says social backing for the group remains very present despite the disappearance of prisoner welcome rallies for a third year.

Overview

  • The tally comes from Covite’s Observatorio de Radicalización and was reported on January 7, 2026.
  • Covite recorded 47 fewer incidents than in 2024, reflecting a measured year‑over‑year decrease.
  • Documented activity was concentrated in Bizkaia (141) and Gipuzkoa (129), followed by Navarra (69), Álava (19), other Spanish provinces (10) and abroad (6).
  • The group logged 161 demonstrations for prisoner release, 116 graffiti and banners praising ETA, 39 tributes to deceased members, and 23 local festivities, with repeated homages to ‘Txiki’ and ‘Otaegi’.
  • Covite, led by Consuelo Ordóñez, welcomes the continued end of ongi etorris yet warns the decline should not mislead and criticizes a lack of transparency over prison benefits.
