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.
