Fernando Buesa Foundation Denounces Pro-ETA Posters at Vitoria Festivities

Covite has amplified the foundation’s posts as contested banners remain in place with no action from local authorities

Overview

  • The Fundación Fernando Buesa posted images on X on August 6 highlighting pro-ETA posters in the txosnas area of Vitoria’s Virgen Blanca festivities.
  • The displayed banners call for amnesty for ETA prisoners, their transfer to Basque jails, the return of exiled inmates and pay tribute to figures like Txiki and Otaegui.
  • Colectivo de Víctimas del Terrorismo reshared the denunciation online but local officials have not removed the contested posters.
  • Fundación Fernando Buesa warned that similar pro-ETA propaganda recurs each year at Euskadi and Navarra festivals amid widespread societal and institutional indifference.
  • During the opening chupinazo, rival youth groups including GKS and the left-wing abertzale movement clashed in a 'war of posters' over control of public festival space.
