La red de apoyo a los presos de ETA Sare celebra su habitual manifestación durante las fiestas de la Semana Grande de San Sebastián.

Overview

  • Judge Ismael Moreno asked the Guardia Civil, Policía Nacional and Ertzaintza to report on the specific circumstances of the call before deciding on a prohibition.
  • The request follows a complaint from the Asociación de Víctimas del Terrorismo, which seeks a ban and urges scrutiny of the formal conveners for possible fronts of illegalized organizations.
  • The magistrate notes the events under review could constitute glorification of terrorism, placing the matter within the Audiencia Nacional’s jurisdiction.
  • The Sare-organized Etxera Eguna plans include a 13:00 march to Bilbao’s City Hall, a popular meal in the txoznas and a closing act at 17:30 in Atzekalde.
  • Victims’ groups, including AVT and Covite, cite recent progressions to semi‑liberty and conditional releases for ETA convicts as context for their objections.
