Agencies condemn signs advocating for amnesty of ETA inmates in San Sebastián
In the bustling city of San Sebastián, posters calling for "impunity for imprisoned killers" and demanding "total amnesty" have caused a stir during the festive period of Semana Grande. The posters, found at the Orixe ikastola public school, have been denounced by various groups, including the People's Party (PP) in San Sebastián.
Borja Corominas, the PP spokesperson in the Donostiarra City Council, expressed his disapproval of the posters, stating that he is "saddened" by their content. The Collective of Victims of Terrorism (Covite) has also denounced the posters, emphasizing that all citizens have the right to enjoy the summer holidays without having to face propaganda legitimizing terrorism.
Covite has called on the Mayor of San Sebastián, Eneko Goia, to intensify efforts to remove the posters during the festive period. The organisation has also highlighted that they will continue to denounce "all messages calling for impunity for ETA prisoners in public spaces".
The specific text on the posters reads 'Presoak kalera, amnistia osoa' (prisoners on the streets, total amnesty), and they call for a demonstration on September 14 in support of this cause. The PP in San Sebastián has also denounced the appearance of such posters in a public school.
Buruaga, in a separate unrelated issue, appeals to "equality" and calls on Cantabrian society to "demand the same treatment" as the rest of the communities. This appeal does not seem to be connected to the contentious posters in San Sebastián.
It's worth noting that there is no documented coverage in the indexed sources about controversies involving ETA-related posters in San Sebastián schools, including reports of denouncements, reactions, or calls for their removal.
Despite the absence of relevant news on this specific issue, the appearance of these posters in San Sebastián has sparked a discussion about the impact of such propaganda on the city's youth and the importance of maintaining a peaceful and terrorism-free environment.
- The controversy over the posters in San Sebastián's Orixe ikastola public school, advocating for amnesty for imprisoned killers, has extended into general news and politics, with both the People's Party (PP) and the Collective of Victims of Terrorism (Covite) voicing their concerns.
- Beyond Buruaga's separate appeal for equality, the war-and-conflicts and crime-and-justice sections of the media are now focusing on the debate ignited by the posters' content, emphasizing the potential impact on the city's youth and the preservation of a peaceful society.
